Mum Films Emotional Video Explaining To Newborn The Reason She Put Him Up For Adoption

A mom has shared an emotional message for her baby son as she prepared to give him up for adoption. Hannah Mongie of Utah fell pregnant in 2015 and gave birth to her boy Taggart on March 21, 2016.

In a YouTube video filmed in March 2016, but only recently posted online, the devastated mom fights back tears as she explains her reason for having to give up her little boy. Ms. Mongie explains she met Tagg’s father Kaden in 2013 before she fell pregnant with his child. She was 18 at the time of her pregnancy and Kaden was 20.

“And he loved you so much from the very, very beginning,” she tells the bub.

“And at my eight week appointment with you, I heard your heartbeat for the first time. Your daddy wasn’t there for it. He was in class. So I texted it to him and he ran out. He was so excited to hear it.”

Ms. Mongie explains the couple was excited about Tagg’s birth but were soon hit by tragedy.

“Two days after he heard your heartbeat his heart stopped,” she says.

“From the day your daddy died, I had a hard time even considering placing you with a different family when you were my last piece of Kaden.

“But one day I just woke up and knew you were supposed to be with someone else.”

The mom says she went on Adoption.com to find Tagg a family and met a woman named Emily Marsh who quickly became her “best friend”. She says the Marsh’s were asked to adopt the baby boy within two weeks of meeting them.

“I fell in love with them and they were beyond anything I could have asked for,” Ms. Mongie says.

“I’m really excited for her because she gets to love you so much and she gets to raise you. She’s already the best person I know.

“I just wanted to let you know that I love you and I made this decision completely out of love and if I didn’t love you I wouldn’t have been in this position at all and you wouldn’t have this awesome family.”

“I love you, Taggart Kaden Marsh.”

Ms. Mongie posted the video on January 2 to let Tagg know her decision “was made purely out of love for him” and that she loves her little boy “more than anyone else in this world”.

Ms. Mongie noted in the video description that the adoption and is an open one, and she still gets to see him “all the time.”

Photos shared on Ms. Mongie’s Instagram account show an older Tagg playing with his mom – with the most recent visit on New Year’s Day.
