Experience report by Francesca

It all started with the strong desire to become a mother, which finally came true on that day in November 2021 when the pregnancy test came back positive. I remember looking at the thin pink line in the bathroom at home during my lunch break and wondering, "Is this really true? I can't believe it." I laughed and cried at the same time. The entire pregnancy was a time of happiness for me, where I dreamed that motherhood would be an experience of immense joy and love.

My name is Francesca, I have two brothers and we are triplets. Our biological mother took her own life two months after our birth and was reportedly suffering from postpartum depression. My father remarried later, and fortunately, we had a mother figure who raised us.
