My name is Emily Carter, and this is the story of how I had to fight for my daughter when everyone—including my own family—believed I wasn’t strong enough to be her mother.

But in the end, love and hope proved stronger than all the doubts and prejudice.

It was a rainy Saturday morning when my four-year-old daughter, Emily, pointed at a waitress in a small Brooklyn café and whispered, ‘Dad, that lady looks like Mommy.’ My heart stopped, because my wife, Sarah, had been gone for two years.

I never thought my family would fall apart over something as personal as my sister’s dream to have a big family.
