Know the feeling well Georg! Mother walked out of the hospital leaving me behind. My grandmother came to claim me and raise me until I was thirteen. Then she died, age 92, and I was left to fend for myself......Good write!

Be safe,
Karen

in fact, how can a child who is not an orphan be unwanted almost from the day of its birth?

So sad for so many babies unwanted and left in adoption homes. There should be more we can do for them. Also more education and discipline for young mothers, before they get pregnant!...Excellent Georg!

This is so sad and has life long scars---too much to bear in one's life. It destroys the child all through life.

Sad! How could anyone do this to an innocent child? It doesn't make any sense! There are thousands of children needing a home, particularly those who are older, have special needs, or of a different race. Open your heart and give them hope. I would if I could.

Georg, how this could even happen here in Amercia, let alone, around the world, is beyond my understanding. Thanks for writing...

Nobody wants to talk about it

How so very sadly and terribly true, like so many other horrendous things that far too many in our extremely selfish modern society like to ignore these days.

You are so absolutely right Georg and it is a scar that NEVER goes away and continues to affect every aspect of the unwanted one's life. Powerful few words.
