It took time—months of paperwork, phone calls, and silent prayers. But I eventually found a name, a location, and then… her.
The woman who had brought me into the world.
She opened the door and just stared.
No words.
Just shock.
I said her name softly. “I think… I think you’re my mother.”
She pulled me inside so quickly I nearly stumbled.
And that’s when she whispered those heartbreaking words:
“Forget about me.”
“If He Finds Out About You, He’ll Leave Me.”
