The pain of Adinah’s childhood coupled with the trauma and abuse she witnessed throughout her years as a youth counselor left her with absolutely no desire to have children. When she met Nik, and he said that he was not interested in having kids, it was a match made in heaven. For years after they got married, their family and friends repeatedly asked them when were they going to start a family. Eventually, everyone stopped asking. Then one day, eight years into their marriage, Nik said, “Let’s have a baby!” And their world was turned upside down.
