Orphan Prays for His Mom at Church—What Happens Next Will Bring You to Tears!
Six-year-old Alan was an orphan who longed to see his mother. He had been abandoned as a baby and had never known her. One day, while sitting in church, he cried out to God, asking for his mother to come and take him. His voice echoed through the quiet church as he begged, “God, please send my mommy to me.” Just as he was crying out, a woman’s voice suddenly answered from behind, saying, “I’ll take you.”
Alan had been living in a foster home after being left at the doorstep of a shelter when he was just a newborn. The pain of not knowing his mother weighed heavily on him. He felt different from the other children, and the taunts of his fellow kids only made him feel more alone. They would tell him that his mother would never return, and that no one would ever adopt him. These harsh words added to his sadness, making him cry out to God for help.
His foster guardian, Nancy, tried to calm him down, telling him to be quiet and stop crying because others in the church were watching. But Alan couldn’t hold back his tears. As he continued to pray, he looked up and saw a woman with a child entering the church. He couldn’t help but cry harder, wishing that he could have a mother like the girl with her.
“Jesus, you’ve answered everyone’s prayers,” he sobbed. “Why not mine? Why can’t you send my mommy to me like that girl has hers?”
Nancy looked at Alan, puzzled by his innocent questions, but before she could respond, a voice interrupted. “I’ll take you,” the woman said from behind them. “My baby, I’ve come for you.”
Alan and Nancy turned around, both startled. The woman standing before them was the same one Alan had just seen with her child.
“Alan, my boy! I’ve come to take you home,” she said with tears in her eyes.
Nancy was confused and asked, “Who are you? How do you know his name?”
The woman introduced herself as Annette and explained that she was Alan’s mother. She showed Nancy a photo of herself holding a newborn baby. Annette revealed that she had left Alan at the shelter six years ago, when she was just 16 years old.
Nancy was shocked and angry. She asked Annette why she had abandoned her child. Annette began to cry as she told the heartbreaking story.
Six years ago, Annette had found out she was pregnant by her boyfriend. When she told him, he left her, and her parents pressured her to either abandon the baby or face being cut off from the family. Annette, young and scared, chose to leave her baby at the shelter, thinking it was the only option.
Annette finished her education, got married, and had another child, a daughter named Amy. Despite moving on with her life, she couldn’t forget Alan. She visited the church often, watching him from a distance. But when she heard him crying for his mother, she couldn’t stay away any longer. She decided to take Alan home.
Annette began the legal process to regain custody of Alan. She took a DNA test to prove that she was indeed his mother. The test showed a 99% match, confirming their relationship. Annette was overjoyed to take Alan back into her life. But her decision came with consequences.
Her parents, furious with her for abandoning Alan, cut her off completely, even removing her from their will. Her husband, Jason, also couldn’t accept her decision. Although he had known about her past, he didn’t want to raise another man’s child. He filed for divorce, stating that he would support their daughter, but he couldn’t stay married to Annette.
Annette was heartbroken, but she knew she had done the right thing. She got custody of her daughter and was finally reunited with Alan. Her parents’ rejection and the loss of her marriage didn’t matter to her anymore. She was happy to have her children and finally feel whole again.
Annette moved abroad with Alan and Amy, starting a new chapter in her life. She found a good job and looked forward to building a happy future for herself and her children, knowing that, despite everything, her family was complete.
