2 Strangers On A Plane Become Family

A divine connection was made when two complete strangers were sitting next to each other on their flight to Raleigh. Samantha Snipes was trying to leave town to get away from an abusive relationship. She was 8-months pregnant and scared because she missed her connecting flight. Her emotions were all over the place, but thankfully she was able to book another flight to get away.

Still, Samantha was very anxious and nervous when she boarded the plane. And Temple Phipps, the lady who she sat next to noticed how nervous she was. She asked her what was wrong and Samantha told her everything. She also included that she was looking for someone to adopt her baby.

Temple thought that her situation was such a coincidence because she'd been really wanting to adopt a baby, but adoption agencies were turning her down because she is a divorcee. The two women connected almost immediately and they exchanged numbers when they parted ways. But that was not the last time they saw each other.

Samantha was still in Raleigh when she gave birth to her baby boy. He was born just three days after she met Temple and Temple was one of the first people she called when she was in the hospital. She asked if Temple wanted to come see her and the baby in the hospital. Of course, Temple went to visit them, but she did not expect what happened next.

After seeing Temple hold the baby boy, she asked if Temple wanted to be his mother. That was an offer Temple could not turn down. She not only developed a connection with the baby, but she and Samantha became family too. What an incredible story!
