He Hid His Wife’s Secret From Everyone for Years

Share

Maya and Avi Cohen open up about a side of infertility that almost never gets talked about in the jewish community.. Shortly after Maya was diagnosed with MRKH, she tried to end things with Avi rather than hold him back from having a family of his own. Avi refused to walk away, standing by her through years of uncertainty about what their future would even look like.

Maya and Avi share what it took to get to where they are now, from the shame Maya carried for years to the surrogate who became like family, and the community that showed up for them in ways they never expected. It's an honest, moving conversation about faith, marriage, and refusing to give up hope.
