The Little Black Baby
A short story by Daniela Koren Schoenberg
Friends and family of Tina and David got a surprise when a black baby was born to them. They were a white couple and knew each other since they were in high school.
They were God fearing white people and loved each other very much.
David could not believe his eyes when he first saw the little baby, he asked Tina if she cheated on him but she swore to God that David was her only man ever.
The doctors asked them if they knew about any mixed race family history but Tina and David didn't have the answer. The black baby was adorable; he was a very pretty and pleasant baby. They named him Josef.
They were loving parents to Josef and gave him everything they could, but Josef grew up with some feeling that his mother cheated on his father even if they never spoke about it. One day when Tina and David argued like every other couple, David said to her: "eventually I will find out who is the guy you were cheating on me with.
Josef heard his parents arguing and from that moment he never forgot his father's remark.
One day when Josef was 18 years old he decided to take an action. He joined a research organization which specialized in finding missing people. He wanted to find out who his real father was.
