Family 3

Hmm, is anyone really familiar with their family tree? the history of your family?....well not too long ago i found out that one of my aunt had another son who was given to her brother in-law because he and his wife was unable to have offspring's of their own. He is the same age as me. I asked my mom how could she (my aunt) give him away, just like that~. My mom said that during those times it was normal for a one to give up their new born child to a relative who is unable to bear a child of their own. Means i have a cousin somewhere out there which i am relatively related to but have not met before in these 19 years. And i also found out recently that my Ah yi ( mom's sister) was put up for adoption after she was born because the family at that time did not have the resources to care for her. But my grandmother did not have the heart give her up and in the end she changed her mind and cared for her..........And the worst story that i found out was that my grandmother ( fathers mom) was left outside of the house as a baby in a cloth like bag, hung on a tree and left to die.!.. the reason was because she was very sick as a baby and the family did not have the money to take her to a doctor. So they decided to leave her outside in the night to die. The next day when they woke up, they found her still alive and took her back into the house.....................Imagine if my grandmother really died as a baby, then there wont be me, or any of my uncles and aunties as well as cousins here today. If we look closely and think back, these small things coujld have change alot of today's outcome. Lucky enough we live in a more loving and caring era now, but still, babies are being put up for adoption by their blood parents due to lack of resources. DO NOT think of these parents as monsters who understand not the meaning of love or family. It is not the parents wishes to send their children away, but it is their wish that their child would have a better life in the future.
