When I was around one year old my mum and dad divorced. I have two sisters, I am the second. Untill now I can't remember how my mum love me and how my dad love me. I am really sad in my childhood this is what I can remember. My mum was married to another guy and my dad too. Two of my sisters were given to my father. My grandmother took care of them. But me, I was given to so many people in hand. First is my antie, call jennifer, second antie jenny, antie bao chuan and antie ah gan. Antie ah gan adopted me, since I was primary three. She had no kid. But what I know was I don't have a real love from her as I see others how they love their kids. I don't head my real mother but now I am a mother too. I know what is a real love from a real mother that I don't have it before. After my antie adopted me she gave birth with two kids, one girl and one boy. I was jealous when I was young. Because they had real love from their real mum. I must do everything for myself, I cannot study after my secondary school, I must go and work to give them money. But this are what had past.
So please, adopt someone is not that easy. Not only you love them, take care of them, you must have extra care and love to adopt a child. I head my real mum although she's my mum but she has no responsible of being a mother. Now she has also three kids to take care. Her second husband was dead. She has to take care the kids and work night shift. As I know that it is very tough. But I know this is her punishment. When you don't want to take care of your kids and do some rubbish, there is always a punishment because god give us child. God did give me a very cute child. I love her very much, she is adorable. But she is still young now. She is not yet one year old. I stop my work and take care of her. She's really cute and likes to laugh but very stick on me. I will give her what I can and do my very best to teach her well. What I think is, will I adopt a baby when I can't give birth? I will think very carefully, because what I know is everyone would not love others kids more than our kids. So this is a serious thing.
Chrish what you have, and love your kids more. If you adopted someone but then you realize you don't love and care her enough, do it now. That is what you had choosen. Don't give up in them, kids are very nice, they can accompany you when you need them. But you have not realize.
