Ghana filer here!

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...

My husband is from Ghana and this process is ridiculous. Our baby is due to be born next week and we are sad he will not be here to witness the birth of his first child.
