| (D.�s View, 1 yr. later) I was frustrated. I had to get up this morning & go to work. I�m always the 1st one up because I catch my bus at 5:30. I started to make some tea but a knock stopped me. I opened the door to see an Asian woman that looked oddly familiar. She was holding a baby. �Hi, I know its early but I was hoping I could talk to Mr. Howard Borden?� ��Yes,� I said as I showed her in. She sat down on the couch. I started there & then walked into the living room. �What is it you want to talk with me about,� he asked. She looked a little supprised at the fact that she was talking to the person she needed to talk to. ��um� Mr. Borden�� �Please call me Howie.� �OK, Howie �um� My name is Sonia & I needed to talk to you about this little one here.� �What about it?� �She�s your daughter, Howie.� I looked at her in shock. The only time I have had sex was about a year ago when I was raped & beaten. �What do you mean she�s my daughter?� �Calm down & let me explain. I know about a year ago my sister & her gang attacked you. She came to me a few months ago & handed this little one to me. She gave me this ID of you & told me if I didn�t want her I should find you. I tried to take care of her but it�s just too hard & stressful for me. That�s why I tried to find you.� I was in shock. That cruel woman not only raped me but dumped the baby on her sister. �Sonia, I would happily take the baby, but I can�t financially support her. My money goes to help my family survive. I can�t take care of her. |
