A Tough Decision
The duo decided to adopt a child instead of having their own. They did not want to risk the potential of losing their child to a legal loophole, given the event that the bone marrow donor’s DNA transferred over to their kid. Although this is upsetting, this is the cost that they had to pay to keep Chris Long alive. Without the bone marrow transplant, there was a 100% chance that Long would have died of the Leukemia he was diagnosed with.
