I'm aware I could be more sensitive because of my secondary infertility background - it took many years, lots of tests, pain, tears, money and effort to have our son.
I'll also admit I might be a bit more sensitive since even though my son resembles and acts like me, he's white. So I don't like it when we go out and people ask, 'who's child is that?' and someone else jokingly pipes up, 'mine.'
Because often, the other person is white, and therefore other people believe them.
I am very proud of my son. He was a real labour of love. I carried him, I bled, I wept, I birthed him. Please don't take credit for my creation. He's mine.
