Imagine the mother you've known all your life turns out to be a woman who kidnapped you, I imagined that and I also acknowledged the fact how hard it would've been for me to just let go, however I would've for my own good and healing process. This is not an adoption story where the birth mother just comes back into the picture and wants a second chance, this is a situation where the biological mother, Shanara Mobley, had her child she carried for nine months, picked out a name for, etc; was taken from her. Then out of luck her daughter was actually found alive and well and at first what looked like to been a tough, but promising reunion only added more pain to Shanara Mobley.
Here's a little of there recent reported story;
It’s been over a year since Kamiyah Mobley, who was kidnapped as a
newborn - was found alive and well, living happily with the woman who
kidnapped her. In that time, the kidnapper, Gloria Williams has been
tried and was recently sentenced to serve 18 years in prison and Kamiyah
was reunited with her biological family.
But what may have seemed
like a fairy-tale ending to a heartbreaking story, was apparently not
meant to be. Kamiyah openly acknowledges she still loves her imposter
“mom,” and speaks to the woman regularly, sending her biological mother
into a despair that has created a gaping chasm between them.
‘It’s
like a tug of war between us. Whenever I feel I’m winning her back,
boom, the other side pulls me down,’ Shanara Mobley, Kamiyah’s bio mom
recently told the Daily Mail.
This frustration has led the older Mobley to issue a heartwrenching ultimatum to her 19-year-old daughter.
“I shouldn’t have to compete with a kidnapper - she has to pick one of us,” Mobley said.
“Nobody acknowledges my pain. I feel like I’m being robbed all over
again every time she reaches out to my daughter,” she added. “Every
phone call they share, every Mother’s Day card Kamiyah sends her, it
just makes the pain worse. I’m being rejected for a kidnapper, how do
you think that feels?”

This is a tough situation that is easier said than done of course, however I am glad the biological mother is letting go for the time being and seeing what the future holds. This also makes the situation more tough because girls are more connected to their "mothers", so to be fair I can understand Kamiyah thought process, however being 19-years-old and understanding the whole situation I would leave my kidnapper alone given that she's a toxic person and the personal damage she caused an entire family. So for the people dismissing the biological mother hurt and pain saying she needs to understand that's the mother Kamiyah always known, needs to understand that the biological mother is the one who carried and gave birth to Kamiyah. She knew her even before she was born.
