A woman simply identified as Rosalinda has shared the story of how her neighbour left her son with her to go shopping and never returned, which made her raise the boy as her own.
Gatekeepers News reports that Rosalinda, who’s in her 70s, shared a video on TikTok to explain how she was looking after the young lad who was only supposed to stay for 1 hour, but he ended up living in her house for 18 years after his mother failed to return from shopping.
Rosalinda was only in her early twenties then and had even been told by doctors that it was highly unlikely that she could have her own children. She had also caught her husband of three months having an affair with her sister in their home, which she detailed in a separate clip.
The boy eventually found his biological father and left to start a new life with him, while Rosalinda went on to foster many children, eventually adopting her daughter Lola in 1990, who is now 30 years old.
Rosalinda, in her video, explained that the “little boy stayed with me through my marriage that I’ve spoken about before, until he was 18 when he found his dad and left to start a new life with his father – and maybe his mother, I’m not sure.”
“So I decided to become a foster parent. My first foster child was a little boy called Adeola. Over the years I’ve fostered many children and that led up to me getting my daughter.”
This happened in 1990, according to Rosalinda who described her daughter Lola as “such a beautiful little baby”. Lola sometimes appears in some of Rosalinda’s clips on TikTok.
Meanwhile, Rosalinda found love again at the age of 55 after leaving her husband who he caught in bed with her sister.
Her ex-husband and sister got married despite never apologising, and even denying the affair.
