AceShowbiz - Joss Stone, 37, revealed on Instagram that she and husband Cody DaLuz have adopted their third child, a baby boy named Bear. In a touching Instagram Reel, Stone shared the moments leading up to bringing Bear home, from the initial phone call from the adoption agency to the heartfelt introduction to his siblings, Shackleton (2) and Violet (3).
"This is what happened to us last Monday," Stone shared in her caption. "We can not quite believe it. We are in love big time with this little guy."
In the heartwarming video, the couple's excitement and nervousness are palpable as they mistakenly arrive at the wrong hospital before finally meeting Bear. DaLuz is seen cradling Bear, showering him with loving words, and Stone captures sweet moments with the healthcare staff who cared for Bear during his first 35 days of life.
Known for her soulful voice, Stone delved deeply into the emotional significance of adoption, noting that DaLuz himself was adopted. "The reason why Cody even exists is because his bio mum loved him enough to make an adoption plan for him and the same goes for Bear," she revealed.
Stone expressed profound gratitude towards biological mothers for their selfless love, "Honestly bio mothers do not get the gratitude they deserve. It is a more selfless love than I knew existed. Truly. We are just so happy to be part of this beautiful cycle." She encouraged her followers to share their own adoption stories and warmly welcomed her "gorgeous baby boy" to the world.
Sharing their personal journey, the couple revealed they began the adoption process earlier in 2023, hoping to expand their family. Stone had previously expressed a desire to have "like, 25 kids."
Stone's eldest daughter, Violet, is already showing signs of a budding musician, following in her mother's footsteps. Stone described how Violet is "obsessed with her ukulele" and loves creating art around the house. Family interactions bring immense joy to Stone, who cherishes the laughter shared between her children.
Looking to the future, Stone and DaLuz plan to move back to Devon to provide their children with an upbringing similar to Stone's own, filled with outdoor activities and close family ties. Adjusting to parenthood has also slowed Stone's pace of life, allowing her to savor these precious moments with her children.
Stone concluded her reel by showing touching images of Shackleton and Violet meeting their new baby brother, Bear, sealing the introduction with a warm, familial embrace.
