Ave Maria, it’s a girl!
After seven months Djuro and Maria
Basanovich are still telling the world about the birth of their only daughter,
Maria-Ana. Their nine sons, aged 5-20, are still pretty chuffed about
it too.
“My husband was so excited, he didn’t
believe it was possible to have a girl after so many boys,” says Maria.
“He wanted to tell the whole world.
“When I was pregnant I just thought
it would nice if I had a girl after all those boys and God answered my
prayers, but it would not really have mattered.”
Maria-Ana’s birth made the Daily Telegraph front page on Christmas Day.
