A Utah woman who decided who give her newborn son up for adoption recorded an emotional video before his placement, so he would never doubt how much she loved him.Hannah Mongie’s son was born on March 21, 2016, and she shared the video almost two years later, on January 2, 2018. In the video, Mongie explained to her son, Taggart, how she met his father, who died shortly after her eight-week pregnancy scan. She decided to record the video instead of writing a letter to Taggart, because “it’s real and it’s in the moment.” Mongie cries several times during the video.Mongie was able to arrange an open adoption for Taggart with a couple that now lives only 10 minutes from her home. She’s able to see her son about once a month. Mongie has shared many photos of Taggart on her Instagram account.In the video description on YouTube, Mongie wrote, “I hope anyone who watches this will be able to gain a new perspective on what the birth mom goes through when she places her child for adoption. It is the FARTHEST thing from a heartless act. It shows the definition of love. To love someone this much is to give away your happiness for them.” Credit: Hannah Mongie via Storyful
