- Social media users who watched the video thronged the comment section to share their varied thoughts on the matter
Dr Yaw Adutwum, a flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), shared his experience during the wait period with his wife as they hoped for their biological children.
According to Dr Adutwum, they waited for 14 years to get a child. He described the waiting period as an emotional one.
In an interview with Deloris Frimpong-Manso, the NPP flagbearer hopeful said he even got more emotional on Father's Day when the children he taught in school and church made him cards.
He stated that some of the most emotional moments for him were when his wife moved to the front in church so the congregation or a pastor would pray for her.
When Delay asked him the kind of prayers he was saying during the 14 years, Dr Adutwum responded and said that he often asked God to have mercy on them and bless them with a child.
Dr Yaw Adutwum said he believes a young Ghanaian man they hosted in America was the angel God used to give them a biological child.

"It’s rare to see or hear a man openly share his perspective and prayer journey regarding infertility. We most often only hear the women’s side of the waiting process. So, seeing a man- especially a public figure, be that vulnerable, that’s Delay doing things differently!"
