I always dreamed of becoming a mother, and finally, my dream was coming true. But the joy of expecting a child was overshadowed by my husband’s unexpected business trip and the arrival of a stranger who turned out to be connected to my past. My husband David and I had been preparing and planning for a child for a long time, but for many years, nothing worked out. We had tried everything we could think of, and the constant disappointment was heartbreaking.But eight months ago, everything changed. I finally saw those coveted two lines on the pregnancy test. This pregnancy was the best thing that had ever happened to me.
The joy I felt was indescribable. I knew I would never abandon this child, as someone once did to me. Even though I was adopted when I was a year old and my adoptive parents were wonderful, learning that I was adopted broke me at the time.It felt like a part of my identity was missing. But now, I was eagerly awaiting our baby, ready to give them all the love I had received and more.David and I decided to have a partner birth, so I knew it would be a special moment for both of us. One evening, when David returned from work, he looked very tired and worried. I tried to find out what had happened, but he only responded that everything was fine. We had dinner in silence, and I felt that he wasn’t telling me something.
