The major news couldn’t have occurred on a better day, either, because it also happens to be Poppy’s 6-month birthday.

On September 24, Holly revealed on Instagram that she and Blake had adopted Poppy, dubbing her “all of our answered prayers.” They’d struggled for years with infertility, in vitro fertilization, and miscarriages and ultimately turned to adoption.
On October 8, Holly shared the special meaning behind Poppy’s powerful name. She wrote, “There is a very old poem that was written during WWI about the barren battlefields and how the only flower that would grow there were the poppy flowers. She is our Poppy that grew on our barren battlefields.”
Since her adoption, Poppy has become a focal point of Holly’s social media feeds and business ventures. She joins her mom on trips to the gym and participates in dance parties in the kitchen.
Congratulations, Holly, Blake and Poppy!
