Miss Grace Lee will launch a book she wrote about her life on Oct 12.
SINGAPORE – Ms Grace Lee, 39, was abandoned at birth. Her mother gave birth to her at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital but left without her baby, while her biological father was never in the picture.
She said it took only one person whose story she heard to change her own life and turn it around, and hopes her story can similarly bring hope to others with difficult childhoods. “My adoptive parents were loving to me, but I felt they were faking it,” said Ms Lee, who works in the Career and Attachment Office at NTU.
The wounds of abandonment ran deep. it was not until Ms Grace Lee met an unwed mother who had given her child up for adoption that she was able to come to terms with her birth circumstances and adoption.

And I felt maybe I should not have been born.
