Sadie and Jarvis Sampson are spreading the message that “families don’t have to match.”
Sadie said she connected with the couple, who live nearby in Texas, after posting on Peanut, an online community for women. She was blown away by the amount of responses she received from strangers wanting to help.
“We didn’t care about race, ethnicity or anything like that. We just wanted an open relationship with the donor family, one where they’d come to birthday parties and holidays,” Sadie explained. “And that’s exactly what we have.”Courtesy Sadie Sampson When Sadie is out in public with her three kids, she finds herself announcing her relationship to them. She'll often repeat phrases such as “Come to Mommy” and “Give Mommy a kiss.”
“I do it just just so people are aware that they are my children,” she said. “I’ve had strangers ask if I’m the nanny, if I’m babysitting. We get lots of looks because it's so taboo that a Black woman could have kids that aren't Black."
