Husband and wife are lying in bed in the middle of the night. Husband: I won’t be able to sleep afterwards. Wife: I can’t sleep without it. Husband: Why do you think of things like this

at this hour? Wife: It’s been on my mind for a while, and now seems as good a time as any. Husband sighs, resigning himself to the conversation. “Alright, what’s been bothering you?” The wife hesitates before finally admitting, “I’ve been thinking about adopting a child.”

The husband, caught off guard, takes a moment to process. The room is filled with the silence of the night, broken only by the distant sounds of a passing car. “Adopting a child? Where did that come from?” he asks, genuine curiosity in his voice. The wife, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, begins to share a heartfelt desire she’s kept hidden for years.

As the wife talks about the longing she feels to provide a loving home to a child in need, the husband listens attentively. He learns about her experiences volunteering at a local orphanage and the stories of children yearning for a family. The wife’s eyes reflect a mix of compassion and determination, leaving an indelible impression on her husband’s heart.
