A Chinese woman earned more than her daughter-in-law at her son’s wedding last month – when she discovered that the bride was in fact her biological child.
The woman first noticed at her March 31 wedding that her son’s bride had a birthmark on one of her hands – just like the child she gave up for adoption years ago, Oriental Daily reported.
The stunned woman turned to the bride’s parents and asked, “Did you happen to adopt your daughter?” The press said.
The bride’s parents answered yes – revealing a secret they had kept for more than 20 years: they had found their daughter on the side of the road.
Tears and hugs followed around at weddings in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
The ceremony was allowed to continue – even though the bride’s biological mother was also the groom’s mother.
This is because the groom’s mother had actually adopted her son as a baby after giving up her daughter, so the love couple has no biological connection.
