After 3 Boys, We Gave Up Our Dream of a Daughter—Then My Husband Called Me to the Hospital and Said, “There’s a Baby Here”

“We were fortunate to become Maya’s parents after losing someone we cared about.”

That was closer to the truth.

As Maya grew, we created a memory box for Clara.

Pictures.

The little notebook.

Copies of appropriate records.
