I am the mother of five children. I started very young and I had to struggle to raise them to this point. My last child is very gifted. He is talented beyond belief and I am not just singing his praises because I am his mother. He truly is a talented boy.
He has the ability to hear a song a few times and then play it on the piano. He composes his own songs without a formal lesson in music. He has the ear for music and I would like to see him use his talent to take him places. The problem is, I don't have the funds to do so.
The family I work for have taken a special liking to him and wants to informally adopt him. They would like to see him on a world stage one day and I know their finances can give him the opportunity to do so.
However, I have mixed feelings about letting go of my baby. I don't want him to forget us and I certainly do not want him to look down on us given his new lifestyle. I don't want him to feel abandoned and I don't want my other children to feel inferior to him. There is a lot going on in my mind as I try to make the best decision.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do?
Signed,
Mother of a Talented Boy
