I gave birth to my daughter around midnight of the 19th September 1995 at a Durban hospital . She Immediately fell I’ll and had heart and breathing complications and had to be taken to theatre for operation early hours of the same night she was born . That was the last I saw her and one of the nurses carelessly told me my daughter was most likely dead and her corpse deposed off ..... Another one threatened to call the cops accusing me of having abandoned the child ‚ which was not the case . I refused to believe that my child was dead . For more 13 years after the ordeal ‚I kept going back to the hospital hoping to find answers and perhaps bumping into my daughter . I checked every street corner to see if I could spot some street kid who looked like me ...... This routine continued for 13 solid years . Until I discovered the truth that my daughter is alive and was adopted . The social workers I dealt with were friendly and informative . They explained to me that my daughter had been adopted through closed adoption process because she had been classified abandoned ....therefore I was not going to be able to have access to her ‚ until she was 18yrs and hopefully been told she had been adopted and can initiate contact with biological parents . Respecting the law ‚I waited for another grueling 5 years . But when she turned 18yrs there was no contact from her side ...then I realized she may have not been told about her adoption. Then I decided to look for her and was lucky enough to meet her through social media . I initiated contact and even met her adoptive mother who in turn denied having adopted my Daughter and claimed ignorance on the subject ....but refused to do DNA tests. She then told my daughter its a mistaken identity and warned me never to make contact with her or my daughter ever again. It’s been months now since the meeting with the adoptive mother and I don’t know what to do . My daughter probably believes her adoptive mother that she was not adopted or she may be confused and dying In silence . For my daughters sake I need her to know the truth and have access to me and her biological family . Please help
