Phillip and Margaret met in remarkable circumstances. He was an orphan and had spent his entire life at an orphanage in New Jersey while she was the orphanage director’s daughter.
Whenever Margaret came to the orphanage with her dad, she always talked to Phillip, who enjoyed every bit of their conversations. Margaret’s visits to the orphanage became more frequent, and she eventually had a close-knit relationship with Phillip.

Many years passed, and the pair grew older. After turning 20, Phillip believed it was the right time to tell Margaret how he felt about her. He knew she had feelings for him too and was not surprised when she welcomed his proposal to be her husband.

However, while the lovebirds wanted each other, Margaret’s parents were against such a union. Her mom vehemently rejected the idea as she hoped her daughter would marry a rich man.
To Margaret’s mom, Phillip was not ideal for her daughter. Also, Phillip’s low-paying part-time job at a diner, which he did to raise money for his law degree, did not sit well with her.
Eventually, Margaret’s parents decided to accede to their daughter’s wish to marry Phillip. However, they did so on the condition that Phillip must get a job.
Phillip accepted the condition and worked diligently to get his degree before finally getting a job at a respectable law firm after a few years.
After getting the job, Phillip tied the knot with his true love, Margaret, and they began their new lives as a couple. The couple had always dreamed of having kids and could not wait to do so. However, it proved to be a challenge for Margaret to get pregnant.
Margaret and Phillip were sad for the first few years of their marriage over their inability to conceive. After taking different measures to have a child, they finally opted for adoption.
