I have a friend who was given away by her mother to her elder sister when she was just a very young girl.
My friend have many brothers and sisters, but her mother just couldn't support them all. The time was bad and there was much difficulty in finding jobs around. The commodity prices were so low; it was difficult to make ends meet. After much thought, her mother quietly decided to give her away to her elder sister who didn't have a child. The plan was talked over and the arrangement was made, soon my friend began to live with her adopted mother.
She had a good life with her adopted family. She was given everything she wanted, and she had a happy childhood there.
Her biological mother continued to visit her. But then, her daughter was starting to call her "auntie", since she was now officially her younger aunt.
It was 25 years later that her adopted mother passed away.
On the night before she passed away, she revealed to her her biological mother.
My friend had a difficult time accepting the astonishing news. It was impossible; she cried and cried until her heart was broken.
It was many years later that she finally accept her biological mother. It was not easy for her, but then her biological mother was on sickbed.
The two of them talked heartily and cried together for hours......
Would you give away your child because of poverty? Would you leave him or her with good family whom you can trust? Would you reveal to him or her your true identity?
