One day Mira's boyfriend noticed that she was losing hair. He didn't like it and said, "Eww! You're infected with some kind of parasite!" He exclaimed that it was disgusting. Mira was feeling disappointed hearing this kind of thing from Nick. She thought she would give him the news in a romantic way. But she could not wait for more and explained to him the reason. She said that she was losing hair because she was pregnant. Then she showed him the test.
Mira thought he would be so happy and act like a responsible man. But he exclaimed if it was true. He also said that a woman who looked like her couldn't give birth to a normal baby. She was so hurt but said nothing. He said that he had not wanted it and told her to get out of his house. As he kicked her, her life was ruined because she had hoped only for her boyfriend's support. She cried the whole night on the street.
It was not like this that she didn't have parents. In fact, she had the most successful parents. Her conservative dad was a popular politician and the most important thing for him was his rating. On the other hand, her mom was not thinking of her. All she cared about was her looks. Her life was condemned in fancy dresses, jewelry, and makeup. Though Mira knew her parents would not accept her, she showed up at them. She told them that she was pregnant. Her parents were in shock. And then they started having their opinions. Her mom said that she was too young to be a grandmother. Her dad exclaimed how Mira could do that to him. He also exclaimed that it was a shame. He reminded her that the election was coming up, and she had decided to ruin his career.
Then they gave Mira an ultimatum. They told her that either she got rid of the baby or they didn't have a daughter anymore. When Mira cried out, her dad told her that his status was more important than her stupid baby. But still, she was against abortion. She searched for the adoption agency online. She wanted to give her baby a chance to have a better life. So, she decided to turn to an adoption agency. It was of course a painful decision, but she had no choice.
Mira talked with the agency and after 7 months she found the perfect candidates. Marla and Harry were really successful and rich. Their only lack was of a baby. Marla was a popular photo model and she was afraid of spoiling her body with pregnancy. Besides, Harry was the best lawyer in town. That was the kind of parents she could only dream of. At the first meeting, she told them that she was choosing them. Harry said that they agreed to buy her baby. Marla and Harry tried to spend more time with Mira. Marla made the upcoming baby listening to soft songs and said that this was good for kids. Harry brought Mira fruits and told her to eat more because they have vitamins for the baby. Mira felt that even though the baby was not born, it was really loved.
Moreover, the future-adoptive parents gave her gifts. One evening, Harry and Marla gave her a bundle of money and wished that that money would help Mira build the future she wanted. And that very night, she went into labor. She was taken to the hospital but the birth was not an easy one. It lasted for several hours and the baby was born when the sun was already up. When Mira was back in her sense, the doctor told her that the baby had a weak heart and he would need long-term treatment to have a chance at a normal life.
When Mira told the adoptive parents about this, they became angry. Harry told her that she was trying to trick them. Marla said that they needed a normal baby, not a defective one. But Mira told them that they had dreamed about that baby. Harry told her to forget about the adoption and they passed. Mira felt terrible about it. She cried out and went back to her son. She thought that now she had to find new parents for her baby who would provide the proper treatment for the child. But then something happened. The baby grabbed her fingers and suddenly she felt love for it. And that's when she had changed her plans.
She whispered to her baby not to worry as she would not let anyone take him. The baby went through a long period of treatment for 4 months and Mira's parents refused to help her. Luckily, she still had the gift from Hary and Marla and spent them on the treatment of her baby. Mira's life became a very difficult ordeal but she had no idea how her life would change after her fateful decision.
And 30 years later, her efforts paid off. Her son opened a nursing home and became a very successful man. On his award-winning day, he dedicated his award to his lovely mom because she had taught him not to give up, even if the whole world was against him.
Successful mothers are not the ones who never struggled. They are the ones who never gave up despite their struggles.
I agree. If you don't give up on what you have despite the struggle, you are worth of a success.
