Twelve years ago, on a Tuesday morning as sharp as shattered glass, a routine sanitation route transformed into a life-defining rescue. Abbie, a truck driver used to navigating the grit of the city, found twin infants abandoned in a stroller on a frozen sidewalk. Despite a childless home already burdened by her husband Steven’s medical bills, the couple chose to bypass the “safe” path of temporary foster care. They committed to a grueling marathon of home visits and evaluations, eventually learning that the girls were profoundly deaf—a discovery that prompted most prospective parents to walk away, but only strengthened their resolve to build a home of tenderness and vibration.
