A mom was featured on one of the cable morning programmes yesterday, whose child was kidnapped from the hospital she was born, 23 years ago. The daughter, after finding out that the family that has been raising her all this time, was not her biological family, decided she would search for her biological family. She found her biological mom, and was reunited with her and they were the happiest ever, as you can well imagine.
Things took a ugly turn however, when the daughter found out that the mother had set up a trust fund for her with money she received from a lawsuit she filed against the hospital that the daughter was kidnapped from. Apparently, she asked for the money and found out it was not available any more, as the mother had used it on her younger siblings, when she thought she would never find her again.
The daughter apparently is upset about this and has disappeared once again out of the life of her mother.
I watched this Mom tell her story and could not help but see the pain in her eyes. She, like any other mom would, wants so much to be a part of the life of her daughter and is being robbed of this a second time, in such an unnecessary way.
So many of us women who struggle with infertility and end up having children, know the joy of having our children close to us, in our arms, and for me, it hurts so much when I see women who are being robbed of the opportunity to have their babies close to them, in their hearts and arms where they belong.
I truly hope this story will result in a happy ending.

This sad. It makes it seem like the daughter only wanted the money. Would she have stuck around even if the money was there.
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't get the being hurt part because you should want to be in it to meet your biological family - not for the money. It's times like this that you have to step back and realize there had to come a point where the mom did not just leave that money sitting there and use it. There is always the part of wanting to find the child that would never leave her, but there comes a point when you realize that it may never happen and you just dream it does.
I feel bad for both sides. Maybe it's a sense of hurt cause it was used for the other kids, but she needs to step back and realize the circumstances and I hope she does and can look past that and be in her families life.
Yes, one would hope she would be so happy to meet her biological mom that nothing else should really matter.
ReplyDeleteI guess we just have our own way of dealing with things.
I wish them only the best.
