In his first five months of life, Parker Terence Lachmore has already spent more than one week in the NICU, flown from Arizona to Florida with his adoptive parents and been formally adopted over Zoom during a global pandemic.
"We found out he had a traumatic birth and had an inflamed lung, which was giving him respiratory issues so he was on CPAP [continuous positive airway pressure] and had a feeding tube," Lach told"Good Morning America.""We hadn't signed any [adoption] papers yet so [the nurses] weren't allowed to tell us anything that was going on with him."
More, Lach and Parker flew home to Florida as a family of three on Jan. 13. Sitting next to them on the flight, by chance, was a NICU nurse, according to Lach. Story continues"Chris's mom was going to fly in from England and my whole family was coming and we were all going to get together at the courthouse for this huge event in our lives," said Lach."We were just thankful to be with Parker, but we really wanted to get it finalized."Parker Terence Lachmore was formally adopted on May 14 during a Zoom call with his dads and about 25 of their family members and closest friends.
"It was such an overwhelming emotion," added More."There was something about it that was just right."
