How did Agtha discover she was pregnant just after adopting?

Agtha Lima, a 30-year-old obstetric nurse from Guarulhos, São Paulo, and her husband Jonathan Lima had been on the adoption waiting list since February 2020. Four years later, in June 2024, they finally received the call they had been dreaming of — a two-month-old baby boy named Dom, who has Down syndrome, was waiting for them.

What happened in the first days with Dom?

The very day they were supposed to meet Dom, the baby showed flu-like symptoms and had to be taken to a health clinic, where doctors determined he needed to be hospitalized due to the severity of his condition — bronchiolitis. While the couple was navigating hospitals, courts, and the care of their older son Theodoro, Agtha took a pregnancy test and got a stunning result: she was pregnant, just three days after Dom had arrived in their lives.

Why did the couple choose to adopt in the first place?

Adoption was never a plan B for Agtha and Jonathan.
