There is a long and tangled story behind all of this.

My wife has wanted to be a mom for as long as she can remember. When we were dating, she was very clear about what she was looking for -- a husband and a family.

We've tried to have kids. We've looked into adoption, but life kept throwing us curveballs. I've changed jobs several times.

Now that we're in crisis, she finds this out. It's almost too much for her.
