ulie Fugazzi describes the emptiness: "A part of me would not be filled until I could be a parent." For three years, she and her husband Joe went through the inevitable highs and lows felt by couples struggling to have a baby. Month after month, they were disappointed. After Julie and Joe finally accepted the reality that they could not conceive, they made the decision to explore adoption of a foreign-born baby.

Foreign babies have become a popular choice of American couples because demand for healthy American infants far exceeds supply. Soon after deciding to adopt, Joe visited a website that displays photos of babies from other countries. Most had serious medical problems that the couple just didn't feel they could handle.

Then Joe came across a new listing for a male Korean baby named Jae-hyun, who had a cleft lip and palate but no serious illness. Joe and Julie both felt a powerful attraction to this child and decided on the spot that they wanted to bring him home. "We both knew -- that was our baby," says Julie.

Julie says their lives have changed completely with the addition of the baby they named Will. "I'm definitely not sleeping as much, and it's hard to talk on the phone," she says, laughing. "But it's the most incredible thing that's ever happened. Going from just the two of us to the three of us -- it's incredible."
