Building a family is something most of us dream of, but an increasing number of couples experience challenging fertility issues, making it nearly impossible for them to have their own biological child. Katrine has PCOS, a hormonal disorder, and her husband has low sperm quality, so their odds were not very promising. Nevertheless, they managed to have a daughter together. Here is Katrine's story. "I am 30 years old, and my husband is older than me. Actually, significantly older. He is 56 years old, and he already has two children from a previous relationship. Therefore, he knew that he had very low sperm quality due to exposure to hazardous pesticides, and also because he is not young anymore. When he had his first two children, they went through a difficult fertility treatment, and he wasn't very eager to go through that again. When we met, I quickly made it clear that I wanted children, and he was probably a bit smitten, so he agreed to it, of course. I couldn't imagine anything else. However, when it came down to it, he struggled a bit to cope with everything. That's when I started thinking that we don't necessarily need to be a traditional family. Fortunately, there are many different ways to be a family nowadays."
