I was adopted seventeen years ago and on my eighteenth birthday a stranger knocked on my door and said “Come with me before it’s too late – I’m your real mother.”

On Emma’s 18th birthday, a stranger arrives, claiming to be her biological mother. The revelation shakes her world—was she adopted or stolen? Seeking answers, Emma leaves home to stay with Sarah, the woman who says she was forced to give her up. But when a neighbor reveals the truth—that Sarah willingly abandoned her and only returned now to access her inheritance—Emma realizes she was never wanted, only needed. With newfound clarity, she walks away from Sarah and returns to the only people who ever truly loved her. Home.
