I trusted my mother-in-law, Angela, to care for my son Liam while my husband Ethan and I went on our honeymoon. But just four days into the trip, I received a panicked call from Liam, whispering that Angela had told him I was going to give him up for adoption. My heart dropped, and I immediately rushed home.

Liam and I had been a team since his father left before he was born. I worked multiple jobs to support us, and though it was tough, Liam’s love made everything worth it. Then, I met Ethan, who loved Liam like his own. We got married, and he planned a honeymoon. Though I was nervous about leaving Liam, I trusted Angela, who seemed sweet enough.
