posted in CelebritiesPeople are starting to take notice of just how much Uma Thurman's daughter Maya looks like her. Recently the 16-year-old, whose father is Ethan Hawke, stepped out in front of the cameras at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York.
Take a look at the two side-by-side:
“I’m madly in love with all of my children and very proud of them,” the actress, who is also mom to 13-year-old son Levon Roan and 3-year-old daughter Luna, told People. “I think they conduct themselves with a lot of dignity and respect for others. It’s all a parent could dream of.”
Uma Thurman briefly commented on her lookalike daughter in a way that got me thinking. When their strong resemblance was pointed out she explained, "Well, she never left the room at the hospital, so they didn’t switch her!"
For a moment I thought I could say the same about my kids -- but come to think of it, our firstborn did spend a few hours in the nursery. I had almost completely forgotten about it! After a very long labor he was born at 3:30 in the morning, and a few hours later the nurse offered to take him so I could get some rest. I was so desperate for sleep (and still fighting the fever I had developed) that I agreed.
At the time, it didn't even occur to me to be worried about him being misidentified. I'd heard of various 'switched at birth' stories over the years, but it didn't even cross my mind. I did feel some guilt about having him away from us, but that was the extent of my concerns.
