Woman Who Never Knew Her Parents Pushes Biological Mother Away, Then She Learns about Her Will – Story of the Day

Maria was raised in foster care and never felt like she had a family. But at 35, her biological mother, Caitlyn, contacted her and asked to meet. Her bio-mom told her she was sick, and Maria ran, thinking the worst of this woman. But then, she regretted it forever after discovering the truth.

Maria had been on her own for as long as she could remember. Even when she lived with her foster family, she never felt that family connection that other people talked about. At 18, she left their home and cut off all contact.

“I’m 35 years old already, and I have only one friend, and she’s more of an acquaintance. You really think I could have a real attachment with someone?” Maria asked skeptically.

“I think so. I mean, that’s my professional opinion. But how about this…why don’t you adopt a cat?” Dr. Schroeder suggested.

Maria laughed. “I don’t want to be the crazy cat lady, Doc. Oh, look! Our time is up! See you later!” she cheered and grabbed her purse.

“You’re going to have to listen to me if you want your...
