Abandoned as a Child, Reunited at 27 💔👶
My mom sent me to foster care at 5, choosing a childfree man over me. She never reached out. I built my life alone.
At 27, after giving birth, an old neighbor handed me a photo of my mom holding me as a baby — and a gold locket. He explained she’d been looking for me all these years.
She was sick, in hospice, and wanted to see me — not for forgiveness, but to share the truth. Letters revealed her heartbreak, failed attempts to contact me, and regrets I never knew.
Two days later, I met her. She told me to choose love over fear, and left me a small bakery she’d built in secret.
I named it “Ocean Eyes”, after the name she always called me. I’m a mother, a business owner, and finally free from the past.
💛 A story of abandonment, second chances, and the power of truth.
