Parents loved one daughter and forgot about the other. One day the incredible happened!
Lilia and Maxim always dreamed of having twins. When Kira and Lena came into their lives, their joy knew no bounds. However, over time, they noticed that Kira was more active than her sister Lena. Lena, born with Down syndrome, became the object of neglect, and this began to affect her emotional state.
Every evening, when the whole family gathered at the table, Kira laughed and shared her impressions, while Lena sat on the floor, feeling rejected and lonely. She watched her sister enjoying hot food and freshly squeezed juice, while she was served cold food without any treats. Maxim, unaware of Lena’s suffering, would sometimes send her to her room to eat, which only intensified her pain. Lilia, consumed with concerns about Kira, often failed to notice how she was ignoring Lena.
When Lilia invited Kira to parties, Lena stayed home, feeling even more isolated. She dreamed of being noticed and loved just as much as her sister. One day, Lilia returned from a party with terrible news: Maxim had been in an accident. Panicking, she grabbed Lena and rushed to the hospital to be by his side.
In the hospital corridors, Lena’s deep resentment towards her parents surfaced. When the doctors suggested she become a donor to help save her father, she resolutely refused, expressing all the pain and neglect she had endured. The doctors, noticing Lena’s emotional distress, decided to transfer her to another ward to help her calm down.
Meanwhile, the guardianship services began discussing the stark difference in how the girls were treated. Lena, still harboring resentment, eventually agreed to the donation but only on the condition that she would be transferred to a home where she would be loved and cared for. Kira, despite everything, insisted on staying with her sister, not wanting them to be separated.
After the operation, Maxim’s health stabilized, but the emotional stability of the family remained in question. The process of removing the parents’ custody rights moved forward quickly. Lena, having saved her father’s life, realized that this might mean the end of her life under their roof. Maxim, despite his frailty, decided to fight for custody of the children.
The girls’ testimonies became crucial. Lena courageously shared her experiences of neglect and unequal treatment, opening everyone’s eyes to her pain. Kira, on the other hand, expressed her desire to be loved for who she was, without conditions or favoritism. The doctors praised Lena’s bravery and health, impressing everyone in the courtroom. Lilia tried to express her remorse for the past, but it wasn’t enough.
After carefully listening to both sides, the judge decided to revoke Lilia and Maxim’s custody rights for the safety of the children. The couple left the courtroom in tears, realizing the irrevocability of the decision.
Soon after, Lena and Kira were adopted by a loving couple who cherished their individuality and loved them unconditionally. In their new family, the girls found what they had always dreamed of: warmth, care, and support. For the first time, they could be themselves without fear of rejection.
