Qiṣṣatī mumayiza: Arabiska 2012

When Reem turns 8 her mother decides to tell her the special story she’s been keeping from her for years. Reem is excited but senses that her mother is anxious and is about to tell her something serious. Reem then learns that she was adopted at the ageof 2 and experiences a mixture of feelings. She feels a bit sad and wonders what her birth parents looked like but all those feelings don’t compare to the feelings of love she has for her nonbiological mother. My Special Story unfolds the topic of adoption delicately by accentuating the special bond between the adopted child and the adopter parent despite the nonbiological tie between them.
