The gift of becoming a parent is not something to be taken for granted. Here are prominent celebrities who have struggled with childbearing for years.

It's said that

'There is more to motherhood than simply having children.

It does not matter if you are single, childless, young or old every woman can have the refining power of motherhood.

1. Jeff Koinange

Jeff Koinange and his wife struggled for nine years without bearing a child before the couple agreed to go the invitro-fartilisation way.

"We had practically given up until Jimmy Monclus Maleketa, a half-Spanish, half Congolese friend we met in Lagos often mistaken for our son suggested we try invitro-fartilisation at a renowned fertility clinic in Barcelona, Spain,"  goes an extract from the first paragraph of the chapter titled Fatherhood Finally.

4. Shiro Wa GP

IT REACHED A TIME I FELT LIKE GOD DID NOT LOVE ME ANY MORE AND WAS ALMOST QUITTING MY MARRIAGE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IF I’M NOT MARRIED, NO ONE WILL BE ASKING ME ABOUT GETTING CHILDREN.
