Battling Infertility
This story is about a couple that had been battling infertility for a long time. The husband’s whole family was excited and they were waiting just outside the ward for their precious little one’s arrival.
The labor became an emergency C-section, and my friend said even the experienced doctor, who she was studying under at the time, was emotional going into the procedure as they realized how long-awaited this moment had been for the parents.
But when the doctor pulled out the baby, the mood in the room drastically shifted. This white couple now had an obviously darker-skinned baby…My friend said wheeling the baby into the room filled with the dad’s family was one of the most awkward moments of her life.
The story then came out that the dad had gone away for a work trip one weekend nine months prior and the mom had taken advantage of this and “celebrated” the arrival of a ship full of American soldiers that arrived in town. Story credit: Reddit / -cute-strawberry-
