I needed the tissues!!  :'(

This is a very sad story, and I'm sure has been replicated thousands of times.  It reminds me just how hard a life many women have had throughout history, and still have, in many parts of the world.

I bet you wish you could trace those missing children, but I suppose there is no way to do so!  I wasn't clear from your email - is it just the last-born children (twins?) that are missing?

At any rate, I am certain that wherever she is, she is delighted that you have spent so much time in searching for her, and that you are happy to claim her.  Good on you!!!!  :)
