Today we leave you the story of Rodolfo Garibay, a dad who writes to us from Mexico and tells us how when at age 51 he no longer had any expectations of being a father, his daughter Isabella was born.

If you want to share your experience in Babies and more we will be happy to publish it. So you can send us your story to stories of parents @ bebesymas.com. And now Rodolfo's story:

Hello, I would like to tell my story in this place because it is very much seen here in Mexico. I am a 51 year old man and I felt that being a father (naturally I have an adopted son) was not for me, because after a painful separation, my new partner was no longer convinced to be a mother again, because he has 2 children and 42 years
So 5 years passed without anything and without taking care of us, nothing happened. Until one day he told me I was pregnant. I could not believe it, it was something that was no longer in my plans. After 2 months we lost the baby and it was a great disappointment and that confirmed me even more that I would not be a natural father. But one day after returning from a trip, she told me that she was pregnant again, I had done my best to stop that from happening, so I just smiled, looked at the sky and thanked God (I will never stop doing it) . It was something that seems like a dream, our baby Isabella was born and is really beautiful, she is almost 5 months old and is very well. I want to share this with everyone to tell them that God is really IMMENSE! I enrolled in Babies and more, because I knew almost nothing about babies and they really helped us a lot. For me it is unusual for everything that this story implies.
