The Black Chale Wote - E-book - ePub

Though this book is to celebrate my daughter, Nyame Animuonyam Afia Asaa Afrakoma Sintim-Misa, the Princess of Adumasa's 6th Birthday, it has led me, indirectly, to share issues of infertility and its options, (IVF, surrogacy, adoption, etc).  It touches on the trauma of failed IVF, fears of carrying a pregnancy to term, especially by late bloomers, challenges of professional women raising children, and the risks, sacrifices, and guilt trips, among others.
The book also takes mothers, especially late bloomers, down memory lane and helps them have a good laugh at some of the 'crazy' things they did in their quest for a child, pregnancy and straddling motherhood in general. Indeed, every mother/guardian has had "The Black Chale Wote" moment. Enjoy the book while you help me celebrate my daughter and do say a prayer for her.
