Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
They were this couple in Toronto Canada that goes by the name of Jermaine and his wife Mary. They were having a hard time getting a child because Jermaine had trouble with getting his wife pregnant. They grew tired of trying and trying. They even tried seeing doctor to find out what was wrong but the doctor didn't see anything that could make this couple have problems making a child.
After many more nights of trying, Mary and Jermaine decided that they're going to adopt a baby girl and forget about making one.
