She is a well-known public figure . . . strikingly beautiful, invariably poised and
impeccably dressed. And incredibly famous. In fact, her name is recognized around the
world, familiar in nearly every household.
Wherever she goes, she is surrounded by an entourage of personal
attendants, her bodyguards protecting her from people who are trying to get a
glimpse of her.
Most people in her position would have simply
secluded themselves in their well-appointed, professionally decorated mansion, immune
from the troubling social issues that exist.
But not this woman! She wanted to
do something, to make a difference in
her world.
So she does something that was previously
unheard of from someone of her social stature.
She rescues a child, a little boy who had been abandoned by his parents.
It didn’t matter to her that he did not share her ethnicity, that his skin was
a different color than her own. She brought
him into her home, and welcomed him as a part of her life. She became his mother, and loved him as a
son, completely and unreservedly.
The news spreads quickly . . . “Have you heard
what she has done? She saved that
child! She is truly amazing! What an inspiration and role model she is!”
Now instead of a life of unimaginable poverty,
he has everything a family of affluence could possibly lavish upon him. Instead of being raised in an illiterate,
uneducated family, he is now attending the best schools, is being taught by the
finest tutors, and has access to every academic and extra-curricular
opportunity he could possibly want. His
bleak future has been replaced with infinite promise.
Everyone who hears of what she has done has
similar reactions: What an incredibly
fortunate boy he is to be adopted by this generous, compassionate woman! It’s hard to even imagine what his life would
have been life if she hadn’t saved him.
And what a great example she is setting for other affluent people in our
country. Everyone has watched this very
public figure adopt her son, and look how many other families are following in
her footsteps. What a hero she is!
