“I had no desire to have a kid. It was my partner Maira’s idea. But Maira is right, usually. And Maira was right again.”

Clarification from Marc: I wanted to elaborate on my first statement. For me, deciding to create our child was a leap of faith, inspired by love.  I wasn’t in touch with any personal desire to procreate, at least not at that moment in my life.  Still, I knew that if it happened, I would love my child more than myself from the moment she was conceived.  Finally, I loved Maira’s desire to make our child, and that love convinced me deeply that I wanted to catch the ball she was throwing to me.
