Tales from childhood: Alone girl.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Maria. I want to tell you about my young years. 

I grew up in orphanage. The state raised me. Also, I found my distant relative Timothy in a foster family.

Now about the present. I'm the mother of my son. I have an adopted daughter, too. Her name is Angela. She is essentially an orphan, so we took Angela into our family.

"I was once a lonely little girl, but now I have found different friends," Angela said.

"It's very good!" I said with a smile.
