女孩即将结婚 未来婆婆竟是自己出生时的接生护士
女孩即将结婚 未来婆婆竟是自己出生时的接生护士

Stacy is Kelsey Poll’s mother. Many years ago, Stacy was giving birth in a hospital. About to become a mom of three, she had some worries. However, nurse Mary Ann West encouraged her. Unluckily, something terrible happened while Stacy was in labor (分娩中). Mary Ann found that the mom was having an unusual condition which could have killed both mother and child. Thankfully, they both survived.

Years later, Kelsey Poll met the love of her life while working at the bank. Before long, she and her partner, Tyler West, were planning their marriage and meeting each other’s families. “When Mary Ann said she worked at Lakeview, I really wondered if she was the nurse who delivered (接生) Kelsey,” Stacy said. “She looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure if it was her.”

When Tyler and Kelsey started looking through some old photos, they found something surprising. In one album (相册) were photos from the hospital when Kelsey was born — including a picture of the nurse that brought her into the world. Stacy said to her future son-in-law, “That looks like your mom. Is that your mom?” Next, they checked the signature (签名) on the birth certificate. It was Mary Ann’s handwriting.

The two families were excited when they discovered their connection, but Kelsey was especially happy. “It was one of those things that showed to me that Tyler was someone I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, and it also made me feel closer to his mom and his family,” she said.
