i don't think it's necessarily indicative of emotional issues - childbirth is a huge part of female identity, it's fairly common for women who cannot give birth to experience some emotional trauma because of it. it's certainly sad - i suppose the hope is they someday find other ways to become mothers, as therein lies the true source of fulfillment. there are plenty of children in this world who could use a proper home.
