The date turned out to be the birthday dinner for Adam’s sister where Danielle met Adam’s family members. That night, Adam asked her to be his girlfriend and she accepted.

2. She and Her Husband Struggled with Infertility
Danielle and Adam Busby are both lovers of children and they were looking forward to having great kids together. However, after their marriage, they found out they had fertility issues. They tried for one whole year to have a baby without success. This was because Adam had a low sperm count, and suffered the problem of low testosterone levels, and sperm motility. On the other hand, Danielle suffered from irregular ovulation.
Seeing that they had issues giving birth, the couple turned to doctors for a way out. The doctor advised them to try and conceive by using a procedure called intrauterine insemination (IUI).

This realization both surprised and elated the couple so much that Adam almost passed out.
Danielle finally gave birth to their quintuplets on the 8th of April, 2015 at 28 weeks through a C-Section. The quintuplets were named Ava Lane Busby, Olivia Marie Busby, Hazel Grace Busby, Riley Paige Busby, and Parker Kate Busby.
