When you are five years old, your mother is your everything. She is your     , friend, and nurse; the only person you rely on     with your hopes, dreams, and wishes. But for me, this was not the case.

My mother suffered from     problems that would keep her in bed for days, leaving me to care for her and look after myself. This situation     me to grow up much faster. While I knew my mother was sick, I felt deep down that we could     it and everything would be okay.     , in 1997 everything went terribly wrong, and my life changed forever.

Adoption is a     word to a five-year-old, but when I realized that my own mother had signed me over to     , I felt it was the worst betrayal(背叛). I suffered from shock, anger, and confusion as I attempted to adjust to my new family. No longer could I     anyone since the person I had loved more than all else had abandoned me. Hearing people tell me that she did it in my best interest, I felt even more     . I could not forgive her and always     how she could reject me like an old sofa.

However, the more I got older, the more I began to understand how     our situation had been. We had been     on boxes of noodles, and at one point we     lived in our car. I was once passed from drug-addicted cousins to mentally unstable neighbors as my mother     to try and save me from what our lives were becoming           each day passed.

Only recently have I begun to understand     my mother gave me to strangers.    she really did save me. She loved me more than anything, so she wanted me to have a    in life, one she could no longer offer me. I now know my life has been a special     only because she was selfless enough to give me up.
