She Returned to Her Foster Home After 16 Years — And Saw a Girl Who Looked Just Like Her

After 16 years of silence, Thelma returned to the orphanage where she was raised, hoping to make peace with the mother she had cut ties with after a bitter argument. Back then, Thelma had chosen to pursue a career in art against her mother Erin’s wishes, leading to a painful split.

Now a successful businesswoman in her 30s, Thelma had matured — and deeply regretted not reaching out sooner. But when she finally stepped into the orphanage again, it wasn’t her mother who greeted her. Instead, she saw a little girl… who looked exactly like her.

Shocked, Thelma asked Sister Julie about the child. That’s when the truth came out: the girl, named Cindy, was Thelma’s younger sister. After Thelma left, Erin had remarried and given birth to Cindy — only to be abandoned again. Erin later died in a tragic plane crash, and Cindy had been taken in by the same orphanage.
