A woman, Jane Kirui, and her husband, Mwalimu Wesley Kiplagat, are celebrating the birth of their baby.
They welcomed the child after 11 years of childl£ssness. Tuko News reports that the couple endured years of agony before the arrival of their bundle of joy.
“We got married in 2012, and she later went to college. After coming back, we started looking for a baby, but she never got pregnant,” Kiplagat said. Despite the challenges, Kiplagat’s unwavering support for his wife remained steadfast.
