Adoption has completely changed the lives of many people, both adults who have the illusion of becoming parents and children who seek to have a home full of love.
Although marriages are given priority when giving a child for adoption, there are exceptions, such as the case of this woman who adopted her nine-year-old student, much like the 1996 film, Matilda.
His incredible story was revealed through an interview conducted by ABC7, a local medium that was surprised by the singular resemblance to the plot of the famous 90s movie Matilda.
Loralie is a nine-year-old girl who has spent very little time with her biological mother and has lived most of her life in different child protection centers. The minor was in a family home for the first time when she was four years old and at six years old she was again in charge of her mother, but only for one year, then she returned to a shelter in Los Angeles, California, in the United States.
The only thing this girl wanted was to have a family and a home where she could live in peace, feel safe and loved by her parents.
It was really scary. I didn’t know what to expect in other homes or what they would feed me. I really didn’t know what to do.
– Loralie
Loralie’s destiny changed when she met her teacher Zoe Henry, who despite the fact that she was not in her plans to adopt, when she saw Loralie, she won her heart and knew that she wanted her to be his daughter.
He walked into my class and I just took one look at him: his little freckles, his little birthmark. I’m going to adopt this girl. She is my daughter, the moment I looked at her.
– Zoe
Despite being a single woman, Zoe began the paperwork to adopt the girl and worked hard to convince the shelter’s social workers to allow her to adopt her, fearing that someone else would want to do it. Fortunately, two days later, on November 20, the date of International Adoption Day in the US, she became Loralie’s mom.
I remember the time when we were in the car and she said to me: ‘you will come with me’. I was so surprised and happy.
– Loralie
Zoe says that Loralie has lived through very difficult times throughout her life and that has made her a very brave and strong girl, making her the most compassionate person she has ever met.
She wants to be a foster mother one day and adopt children.

Although Loralie’s biological mother has the right to challenge the adoption, that did not happen, as she chose to leave her in the care of the teacher.
I know I really wanted a better life for her, but like I tell Loralie, her mom loves her so much that she let me adopt her for me to give her what she needs.
This story shows us that sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. We love happy endings!
