06. The terrifying inevitable

Ripple: The terrifying inevitable
The child, even after 10 months with his new mother, had not grown, had not changed, and had not developed in any way….although he did not seem to suffer from any visible malfeasance. The lack of progress, in spite of what seemed to be a happy and healthy environment was too much for CPS to ignore any longer. The day finally came for the child to be taken as a ward of the state.
In a state of distress what is a protective mother to do when her baby, even if biologically not hers, is to be stripped from her side? How can the sacrifices of the better part of a year be healed? How can two minds, now weaved together through love and need ever imaging being disentangled?
