Description

“It’s a sin to take someone else’s children when you can carry your own,” my mother-in-law says, frowning at me. “To carry someone, you first have to conceive them,” I laugh through tears. “And you say my husband is infertile!” — “Anatoly can’t conceive, yes—but do we need other people’s genes in our family, either?” I nod, bewildered, not understanding anything. Tears in my eyes… “Of course.” “Then there’s only one option left. There aren’t any others.” “And what would that be?” “Savva.” “Your eldest son?” I can’t believe my ears. She can’t possibly be offering me this for real! “Uh-huh. He’s rude, of course, and a terrible womanizer—but for a child you can endure.”
