I’m Emily, 28, married to David, 33. Three years ago, an accident caused by David’s negligence left me infertile. Though deeply hurt, I forgave him and sought therapy to manage my emotions. We kept the cause of my infertility a secret to protect David from judgment.

After two years, we decided to adopt. But recently, my world crumbled when I received a text with a photo of David in bed with another woman. It was devastating, especially as we were about to adopt.

To gather evidence, I prepared a romantic dinner and asked David, “Do you love me? Are we still in this together, ready to welcome our child?” He reassured me of his love and commitment, unaware that I was recording him.

Supported by my best friend and mother, I confronted David with divorce papers. In court, the recorded promises helped secure a favorable judgment and a substantial settlement. Now, I am determined to complete the adoption alone, ready to provide a loving home for a child in need.
