Hope.

For Isabel, life was fun and excess, she partied almost every day with her friends. One day when she got up she realized that she hadn’t been sleeping on her own bed, she was in the bed of a boy she barely remembered from the night before. She dressed and ran to her home, tears spilling from her eyes as she did not remember anything.

As months passed by Isabel found out that she was pregnant, she felt very distressed and thought about aborting, but her parents convinced her to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Isabel was confused with the arrival of the baby, sometimes she’d talk to her belly with love and at other times she’d hate it.

On the day of Isabel's delivery, as soon as she saw her baby for the first time she experienced what it was like to be a mother, she felt the purest love in her heart and decided not to give the child up for adoption. That day Isabel changed her life, she dedicated herself to the care and attention of her daughter Hope , because thanks to her she had the hope of a better future.
