I adopted twins who were found abandoned on a plane – their mother showed up 18 years later and gave them a document

They cry incessantly and no one seems to know where their parents are. The passengers complain, some look away, and the atmosphere becomes tense.

Without really thinking, Madeleine gets up and takes the two infants in her arms.

Instantly, the crying stopped.

She asks aloud if anyone on the plane is their relative, but no one answers.

Upon landing, the authorities are notified and social services take charge of the babies.

Yet, Madeleine cannot forget them.

A courageous decision after the tragedy

The next day, after her daughter’s funeral, Madeleine could think of nothing but those two little faces.

She then goes to the social services office with a clear idea: she wants to adopt them.

Despite the numerous questions, administrative checks, and doubts related to her age, she remains determined. She is convinced she can offer them a loving home.

A few months later, the adoption became official.
