Accusations flew from family members gathered outside the delivery room when the baby with dark skin arrived. Since both my wife and I are white, everyone immediately thought of betrayal.
What should have been the happiest day of our lives, after years of trying to become parents, was clouded by suspicions of my wife’s infidelity.
I was in the delivery room, eager to finally hold my baby girl, while the rest of the family waited outside, ready to rush in as soon as they heard the baby cry.
I held Stephanie’s hand tightly, reassuring her repeatedly that everything would be okay.
Then, after all the hard work, our little miracle entered the world.
The nurse took the baby and tried to hand her to Stephanie, but my wife’s screams changed everything.
