Hot and Dizzy

Nicole and Kevin Barattini Story

The time that the desperate couple had been waiting for all these years was finally coming true. To say that they were overjoyed could not even begin to explain how they truly felt. As of February 10th, little Dominic was welcomed, followed a few minutes by Luciana, and the two were born happy and healthy. The Baratinis were allowed to stay in the hospital room while the twins were being delivered. “I felt hot and dizzy,” Nicole had said. She went on saying, “We saw the whole thing.”…

As Close As Possible

There was one thing that the couple wanted to do for their couple friends who had been such an essential part in the possibility of them having a baby. As you might have guessed, Nicole and Kevin obviously made Lianna and Shawn their godparents. The couples became closer than ever and shared an unbreakable bond. “I don’t have a sister but I’d consider her like that,” explained Nicole. “We don’t hold back, we are open, honest, and I am constantly turning to her for advice.” Their words were indeed true as their actions literally reflect them.

Can’t Get Over It

So the surrogate pregnancy happened successfully and there were no such problems that could jeopardize the health of anyone involved. It would have been devastating if there had been any problem during the birth of the twins. The emotional turmoil would have probably driven Nicole and Kevin off the charts. Nicole even said she “still can’t process” Lianna’s altruistic act. “Every time I look at the babies it reminds me of what she went through, she never complained, ever,” Nicole further explained.

They Saved Us

So in the end, the only thing the couple felt in their heart after yearning for babies was gratitude. Indeed, there was so much they were thankful for. On top of the list was Lianna and Shawn who had basically sacrificed themselves for them. Kevin also expressed his gratitude saying, “Lianna and Shawn saved us.” During the time they were looking for options, Kevin revealed that he and Nicole had “hit rock bottom and you think it’s the end of the road. We are literally blessed. There are no words.” They were over the moon to finally have their own biological kids at long last.

Everything Happens For A Reason

“We have a strong faith,” Nicole adds, “and I believe things happen for a reason, and I believe that energy you put in comes full circle, and I think it will with her.” The couple has credited the Fives for changing their mindset to see the positive aspects in life. If it was not for their unselfish act, they could never have their own babies. The blessing was double because they had a boy and a girl. It was more than they could have ever asked for. They now have a better perspective on looking at things and finding the silver lining and are truly an example of the positive things that comes out of never losing hope.

Ironic Adoption

There is yet another funny point that needs to be made regarding this couple’s new babies. It is funny to note that the twins are technically not Kevin and Nicole’s kids yet. Since they were not technically birthed by Nicole, there was one thing that they needed to do legally.“The kids aren’t on our birth certificate yet,” Nicole revealed. “We have to adopt our own children that are 100% maternally and paternally ours.” The couple does not fear the possibility of the Fives getting possessive of the twins.
