Oma’s Seed: The Promise of Life from Her Body

When Oma and Ikhide planned to wait two years after getting married before starting a family, nothing prepared them for a journey through years of infertility. As one attempt after another to find a solution to their infertility failed, Oma would remember a prophecy that was given before they married, warning her of the struggles ahead. Did she make the right decision to disregard that prophecy?

As the years passed, Oma struggled with depression as her body failed to perform one of the most important tasks it was created for. Inspired by true events, Oma’s Seed highlights the trials and temptations couples dealing with infertility struggle with, some of which are motivated by desperation.

The writer also relates the difficult choices these couples face, especially because of societal beliefs: To adopt or not? Use IVF or not? Use a surrogate or gestational carrier or not? Use donor eggs and sperm or not?

In Oma’s Seed, the reader is made to understand that God can use any process He desires to fulfil His promises.
