Disowned. Rejected. Alone. These are the results of Cara's unplanned pregnancy. Her family doesn't want her, so she's shoved into the foster system. All around her, people are encouraging her to "choose life" for her baby, to do anything but abort, and calling her names if she thinks anything different. It seems like no one really cares about the mother of this child; they only care about the unplanned pregnancy and fighting for its rights.

To say the least, Cara is shocked and wary when a nice couple decides they want to be her foster parents. They could've chosen anyone, but they wanted her, knowing she was pregnant. In a time when everyone is telling her to think about the child, Cara can't help but feel grateful that someone out there sees HER before they see her growing belly.

"I'm not giving up my baby!" Was her last decision. "Then get out of my house" Was all her mother had to say. "That's not my fault. I thought you were on pills. You should've gotten an abortion instead of coming to me" said her baby daddy or her former boyfriend who slammed the door in her face. Pregnant at 17, she had nowhere to go but she wasn't giving up on her baby. She was still clinging to the feeling that once her would arrive she would never be alone and have someone to hold, someone to love and someone to care for. •••••• "Come back Rakshit, it doesn't matter now, she's gone" Said his elder brother trying to stop him from leaving his brothers. "Let him go, he never listens to anyone. And makes it all about him" Came from his eldest brother who looked at their mother's body lying in death bed. "As if you cared" picking his bag he left his home and wandered around the city with no one to care for except himself. ••••••• She was 21 with her 4 year old son living a simple life.

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

Knowing she wasn't able to provide for her child, she tried multiple adoption centres, baby units, care centres but found herself refusing every one. A 20 year old man lived his life care free, drinking with his friends, providing for himself with a well paid job and strolling through life like a walk in the park. But one thing he didn't plan for is opening his door in the morning to wails and screams coming from a carrier with a simple note saying "She's yours."
