Hidden Secrets of My Past

So last night, I found this old wooden box hidden behind my mum’s dresser.

It had my name carved on it… which was weird, because I’d never seen it before.

Inside, there were newspaper clippings. All about a missing child… with my birthday.

And a photo of a toddler who looked exactly like me. My mum walked in and immediately

froze. She grabbed the box and whispered, ‘You weren’t supposed to find this.’

I asked her what it meant, and she just said, ‘Your real family was looking for

you… but we couldn’t let them take you.’ Then she added, ‘They still don’t know where you are.’”
