My wife and I adopted a newborn baby girl. When she was seven years old, my wife got pregnant. I WAS STUNNED when I heard WHAT my wife said, leaving the hospital

The Smith family adopted Emily when the girl was three weeks old. They had to wait a long time to take the baby from the hospital—eighteen months. During that time, the couple saved up money, paid who they needed to, and things finally moved forward.

«What kind of show is this?» John smirked when his wife came home and pulled a folded towel from under her sweater. «I don’t see anything funny about it,» Mary got angry. «Let the neighbors see me walking around with a belly, so no one has any doubts.»

With each month, Mary’s belly size smoothly increased. «You’ve finally got your little one! You’ve waited so many years!» the elderly neighbors rejoiced for the family. It was November outside.
