On Father’s Day, a dad cherishes the child he feared infertility would prevent
Published by USA Today. Read the full article.
Courtney Freeman first met her husband, Jake, when he visited her mom’s house for a holiday gathering in 2020. Their moms were friends, and all she knew about her future spouse was that Jake Freeman was a welder whose work took him constantly on the road.
The two clicked almost immediately and married the following year, making a home near The Woodlands, a leafy, master-planned community in the north Houston suburbs. They were ready to build a family. But after a year of unsuccessful attempts, the couple learned Jake struggled with male infertility, a diagnosis medical professionals say has become increasingly common.
The couple is now overjoyed to mark Jake’s first Father’s Day as a dad. After pursuing fertility treatment, they’ll be celebrating the gift they thought they might never have: their son, Walker, who was born in April.
