Recently I read the book "Look Again" by Lisa Scottoline. In this book reporter Ellen Gleeson goes out to get the mail and finds a 'Have You Seen This Child' flyer and almost throws it away. But then something makes her stop and look again at the flyer and her heart stops. The child in the flyer is almost identical to her adopted son, Will. Her instinct is telling her to ignore it, that her adoption was lawful, but she just can't shake the feeling that maybe Will belongs to someone else. She starts to investigate and digs up the truth. The truth that was never supposed to be discovered. When she digs too deep she puts not only her life in danger, but that of the son she loves as well.
My question is if you came across a missing child's photo and it looked like your child, what would you do? Would you ignore it or would you try to find out the truth, knowing that there is the chance you could lose your child?
If i came across a photo like that I would definately be curious. There is no way I would be able to just ignore the fact that it looked like my child.I would definately try to find out the truth because I wouldn't be able to live knowing that could possibly be my child.
ReplyDeleteI would defiantly have to find out the truth because if I didnt I would be worried that something may happen to me or my child. However, there would be a part of me that would want to throw it away and never have to think about it. I dont know what I would truthfully do in that situation because it would be very difficult.
ReplyDeleteI don't really understand, didn't show know that her child was safe? Or was it just someone that looked like her child? And if so, I would just let it be. If she adopted her child, she could not know a whole history of her child's previous life that she may just not want to know. And maybe if this child was a twin, then it would probably be best for your child and for you to not get entangled in future problems.
ReplyDeleteI'd find out the truth, just because i'm a curious person and I could never let something like that get out of my head. Especially if it had something to do with my child, there is no way i'd just walk away from that.
