I Discovered Adoption Papers in My Sister’s Purse - and They Had My Baby’s Name...

No. If she did it once, she'll try again with someone else. She needs to rot in prison. I'm a mother of 4 boys, my ex took my 2 youngest boys without permission, I called all my friends whom were police and bounty hunters, within 2 hours, I had my boys back and he lost visitation.

[@hayleymariemills]

Everyone is saying she should've immediately taken the papers and went to the police but i think being level headed and gathering more evidence was a good thing. From this, she got proof she was being drugged. If she hadn't waited, Jess could argue that she was on drugs and she wouldn't have passed a drug test since she was being drugged!

[@Eraina]

She could have took photos of those documents. Left papers in their place and still have proof in case if she wouldn’t be able to get more ?

Why would you not immediately not take all of the paperwork that you found straight to the cops or children services. I don't care if she is your sister. JESSICA is nuts. No I would never forgive your insane sister.

[@dwaynewrighton8547]

Because this is a work of fiction. The moment the law becomes involved; it generates paperwork that is a matter of public record I.e. it becomes easier to fact check and verify as truth and harder to dispute as a falsification, or "story time" created for ad rev purposes

[@donnascott4277]

She drugged you, and fed your friends and family lies, in order to have your daughter. I don’t think that there can be any forgiveness there. She was obsessed with having your daughter.

[@declaracionespolemicas]

​​​​@@annabellegarcia4240 Thank you for saying this, this one reads too much as fanfiction or a story from wattpad. Just by the way it's written: "I sigh", "I mutter", "I clench my fists" etc. This is NOT the language you use when retelling an event that happened to you. For instance, are we supposed to believe the sister Jessica would try to pretend to be pregnant in social media to make it believable that Lily is her daughter? She's already 2 years old! She's already planning to adopt her on false grounds that her mom is a drug addict and will therefore lose custody, so why pretend to have a baby bump for social media? Makes no sense. Another thing that doesn't make sense if the fact she was being drugged but never realized, what kind of drugs was she slipping on the food?

This. Holding on to anger does nothing good for you. But remembering what she did and keeping her away is for her own protection. Who knows what the woman could do if she flies into a jealous rage again.

[@raughboy188]

Forgiveness is double edged sword. Forgivness can either heal soul of one who forgives and one who is forgiven or it can punish one who is forgiven even if he/she doesn't deserves it or doesn't want it. You can forgive out of love and it will heal you both or you can forgive out of pitty and you'll be healed but one you forgive to will be punished.

Possibly she wanted to hide them from her husband. Most husbands avoid their wife's purse like a plague, if you ask them for something out of it, they'll bring the whole purse back, etc. And, face it, she doesn't think very logically if she cooked up this scheme, anyway.

Girl, this story's as fake as my eyelashes. 🙄 I just hate that these so-called 'writers' don't even try to make their stories even seem believable anymore. But I think it's in part due to how much this kind of content has become monetized. Rage bait sells. The amount of sponsored KZbin channels who make something of a living of off AITA, r/relationshipadvice etc. is astounding. Personally, I think reprinting/reproducing someone's else written work for profit is the laziest most unoriginal thing a person can do.

[@maryy1370]

"Forgiving" is a really big blanket term. I would be mad as hell, and eventually- when the sharp sting of betrayal simmers down - I could probably understand *why* she did it ... I might even eventually in the far future begin to empathize with the emotional desperation that drove her to do this... but forgiving? Jess wouldn't be allowed in Lily's life for as long as possible. I would tell Lily (when she's old enough) how her sad desperate aunt tried to steal her and that she shouldn't go with her if Jess ever shows up. What I mean is, you can empathize on why someone did something, but still not forgive them, and CERTAINLY make sure to never forget it.

[@verdaleonard2728]

[@alexismyers6053]

“I’m stable!” Stable people don’t try to steal their struggling sibling’s kids… also… why didn’t the family reach out to Sarah to see if she needed help when she couldn’t show up to events?

[@Jorocksdakitchen]

Something similar kind of happened with me After my father passed away my Aunt called Child Protective services and tried to start a case to prove i was unfit to care of my children. The worker that came to interview me and my children automatically said all is okay and squashed the case. Another Year goes by and the same Aunt and her husband refused to return my children to me from a summer vacation visit. It took the father of my 2 oldest children, and my having to drop everything, quit my job and move back to my hometown to regain custody of my children. From there, there was a custody battle in court, but they had no legal grounds to sue for custody of any of my children, I don't drink, or do drugs, and I provide for all my children. It took several years, of animosity and resentment, but I now speak with my Aunt again, (now that all my children are grown) but we are not as close as we were when I was growing up or when my father was with us.

[@mukulsharma1090]

Sarah has a daughter named Lily, or a child called Billy? Both names are mentioned here. And what about Jessica’s husband? His name is Mark, or Marc? Sarah’s friend is Mia, Mine, or Maya? All these names are mentioned. Why is the narrator of this story so confused?
