Unbelievably, his mom had simply pretended that she was going shopping. Where she actually went is unknown, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t coming back for her son.
It had never been Rosalinda’s intention to raise a child, especially as she was only in her early twenties. She had even been told by doctors that it was highly unlikely that she could have her own children.
“That little boy stayed with me through my marriage that I’ve spoken about before, until he was 18 when he found his dad and left to start a new life with his father – and maybe his mother, I’m not sure.”
It difficult to accept that a child who isn’t biologically yours will instinctively want to find their parents when they’re old enough, even if those parents had abandoned them.
Rosalinda soon realized that life without a child was nowhere near as exciting. So she made a big life decision.
“I decided to become a foster parent. My first foster child was a little boy called Adeola. Over the years I’ve fostered many children and that led up to me getting my daughter.”
It was way back in 1990 that Rosalinda adopted the baby girl she now calls her own. She described Lola as “such a beautiful little baby”.
“Lola has been by Rosalinda’s side ever since.
She’s now 30 years old, and often makes the time to appear in some of Rosalinda’s TikTok videos.”
