Alternative Options
Nadya and Marcos started to look into having a baby more seriously, reading up on the topic with as much material as they could get their hands on and consulting with a number of different doctors, but their efforts were ultimately fruitless. They simply were unable to conceive a child on their own. Because the matter took up so much of Nadya’s mental energy, she started to experience feelings of despondency and hopelessness before she and Marcos went to see a physician who provided them with the unpalatable truth.
They were acting as though everything was normal, but Marcos was infertile and they couldn’t have children. The news was a further blow to take, but at least it allowed them to face the problem head on, and the two began to consider alternative courses of action. The news was a heavy blow to take.
