Young Woman Leaves Newborn Son on Hospital’s Doorstep, Years Later They Accidentally Meet – Story of the Day
At 19, Monica had no choice but to leave her son in front of the hospital. Years later, she became a school teacher, and he was one of her students. But she never told him directly, so it was surprising when the boy found her years later.
