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”

Marcus closed his eyes.

“Yes.”

I hated that answer.

I wanted him to promise me there was no risk.

That no biological father would appear.

That the courts would immediately decide she belonged with us.

That our boys would adapt.

That we could afford another child.
