The 23-year-old shared that her biological mother died shortly after her birth, and nobody came to the hospital to collect her. Her father refused to be a single parent and never met Zinny:
“I was left at the hospital by myself because my bio dad didn’t want to take care of me.”
The youngster happened to be a sickly baby. Doctors believed that she would die before she could turn one year old. A nurse at the hospital fought hard for Zinny to get treatment and was committed to feeding her:

Young lady shares story of being adopted by White parents
A 23-year-old Zinny from Cape Town went viral on TikTok after sharing her heartwarming adoption story. The youngster explained that a nurse fought for her life after doctors believed she wouldn’t make it, as she was a sickly baby.
The nurse fell in love with the abandoned baby she committed to taking care of. She and her husband decided to adopt her after spending some time with the nine-month-old.
They took her to the beach and even saw a movie with her. After Zinny heard the lovely stories from her parents, she melted:
“I think that’s when they fell in love with me.”
The 23-year-old shared that she has three older siblings, two sisters and a brother who treat her like their little sister:
“I’m the baby of the family.”
Zinny explained that the adoption process was a bit tedious, as her parents first fostered her for a couple of months before she was officially their child.

“I'm adopted into a White family. I don't speak Zulu, it's a journey. I don't know my biological mom. I was left in a hospital when I was two years old. I love your story.”

“Absolutely beautiful! Adoption holds such a special place in my heart! I have an adopted sibling, and they are truly the light of our lives. It’s such a powerful, selfless act, and people who adopt are incredible. You are incredible. I truly hope you publish your book, the world needs your story!”
@Kamva and mommy commented:
“I recently became friends with someone who was adopted, and she told me that she struggled with her identity her whole life. She opened up about also not wanting to date black guys cause she doesn’t relate. Is that also your experience?”
@becomingdrtori commented:
“Girl, you just summarised a great love story!!! What beautiful love story your life is, to be chosen, fought for even from the brink of death! You are blessed and highly favoured.”
