Yes, it is a true story. It often refers to historical events where, unfortunately, in some extreme situations like during times of poverty or social upheaval, there were cases where children were given away. This could be due to families being unable to care for them. For example, in some orphanages' early days, there were situations where babies were given to other families or institutions to be raised, which is a sad part of history.
The main events likely include families making the heart - breaking decision to give their babies away. This could be because they couldn't afford to keep them. There might also be the involvement of institutions or other families who took in these babies. For example, orphanages might have received a large number of babies during such a time.
I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read this specific story. It could potentially be about a fictional or historical event where babies were given away, perhaps in a situation of extreme poverty, war, or some kind of social upheaval.
I'm not sure where you can specifically find this story. You could try searching for it in local libraries, especially in the section of short stories or local literature. It might also be available in some online databases of short stories if it has been published widely.
