Thanks to medical advancements, many couples struggling to have a baby and start their family have more options like In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) to help them accomplish what otherwise would have been impossible.
Older couples, however, didn’t have those options, and many were forced to either adopt or not have children. Daljinder Kaur and her husband Mohinder Singh Gill have always wanted a baby of their own, and have been trying to conceive, despite their old age, for the entirety of their 46-year marriage.
Kaur, who is now approximately 72 years old, and Gill, 79, adopted a son in the 1980s, but lost touch with him when he went to study in America. As their last hope to finally complete their family, the couple reached out to embryologist Anurag Bishnoi.
“I first tried to avoid the case because she was very weak,” Bishnoi said. “But then her medical reports were normal and she was fit to conceive.” Kaur had three rounds of IVF, and the last attempt turned out to be successful.
On April 19, 2016, the couple gave birth to a healthy 4.4lb son named Arman. “God heard our prayers. My life feels complete now,” she said.“I am looking after the baby all by myself. I feel so full of energy. My husband is also very caring and helps me as much as he can.”
