Bonnie is sitting at the airport, waiting for her daughter, Jessica. She still can’t believe that this all started with one email, on one very normal day.
“Hi Bonnie,
I don’t really know how to begin this letter but here we go. My name is Jessica Herbert. 17 years ago, on the 9th of March, a woman named Bonnie Garber put me up for adoption at Manly hospital in Sydney.

“Hi Sweetie, sorry I’m late”, Jacob gave her a kiss and sat down, “How was your day?” “It was okay, I got some news”, Bonnie replied. “Oh?” “Now don’t freak out, okay? But there is something I never told you about me”, Bonnie was rubbing her sweating hands on her dress; she just needed to tell him. “I have a daughter”, She did it, “…. WHAT?”, She saw the shocked look on Jacob’s face, “When? With who? What’s her name? Why haven’t you ever told me? Where is she?”. Bonnie took a deep breath and looked up at Jacob, “17 years ago, I had a baby with my high school boyfriend. He left me when he found out. I was only 18, I...
