“I Was Barren For 16 Years, Used My Sister’s Kids To Cover My Shame”- New Mum, Amara
It was a long time coming for new mum, Amara, and she is not hiding her happiness one bit. After enduring a 16-year-long rigorous wait to conceive, she is excitedly sharing her joy with the world including her moving story of what it felt like for she and her husband all that time in God’s waiting room.
The new mum who shared photos of her baby bump on Instagram disclosed that she was barren for 16 years and that all those years, she was overcome with shame which she attempted to cover by pretending to be a mum using her sister’s children.
One of the toughest emotions to deal with for a woman who desires to have kids would be pining for one, not to mention a rather cultural society as ours where children are a type of social wealth.
The new mum says she is still dreamy when she looks at her bundle of joy, while acknowledging her darling husband whom she praised as an angel who made a harrowing 16 year ordeal appear as if it lasted only 6 days.

I still can’t fathom that I’m a MOTHER,
I look at my Son steady n say to myself so this is mine?
all these years I’ve been using my sisters kids to cover my shame,didn’t want to be pitied �
I come out strong n fulfilled but,in my war room all I do is cry to God,
asking him wat I’ve done to deserve this wilderness I’m in,knowing that I got married in my teens…
