tete-a-tete

someone ask me ‘what if one day, someone brings another 2.5yrs old child to me and insist KK made a mistake and my girls aren’t mine but the other person’s child. HOW?’

i say, ‘i will not give them back to her natural mother. she can have my original child.’

this remind me of a story i read in my social studies text in primary or was it in secondary school? i dun remember liao…anyway its about a girl named Maria Hertogh.

i was further ‘reinforce’ by a play which left a deep impression of Maria. so deep that i can’t even remember the title of the play *snigger* just the image and the story of the struggle of 2 mothers fighting for their child.

their problems cause riots in spore, people die, people go jail – some almost kena death sentence…super jia lat. after all the ‘la la che che’ the custody was given to the natural mother. of course the child is not happy at all. she was only 5 when she was given to the foster mum. to me between 5 to 13yrs of age is the most important time of their life where bonding is being made but you also can say that is only the beginning to her life, she have time to reformat and reinstall with new ‘windows’. at the end she even plot to murder her ang mo husband later in life. maybe if her natural mom wasn’t given the custody, would she have a better life? i say yes.

i can imagine how the foster mother feel at the time of parting. giving birth is just a process, uncomfortable, pain many hours and DONE! seriously, NO BIG DEAL. but nurturing, loving and giving up all your life for the child is A BIG THING! even giving up your pet cat or dog is like a gazillion of needles dropping down from the sky into your head…and you dun need to give birth to you dog to feel that.

shits…i think until i wanna cry.

you tell me lah, what would you do?
