With Mother’s Day around the corner, the May issue of Pink treats subjects such as adoption, from the point of view of new parents, who have formed the family they always wanted, to that of an adoptee, who has finally fulfilled her lifelong need to meet her biological mother.

Motherhood also comes into the picture in this issue, out with The Sunday Times of Malta tomorrow, through pro-life stories on abortion, as seen through the eyes of a woman born of rape; and the first-hand, blow-by-blow account of experiencing the palliative sedation of a mother in the face of terminal disease.

The role of pets in humans’ lives and how to handle their death is also tackled in Malta’s leading magazine for women, which, as always, is also big on fashion, featuring stories on the style of local personalities and a bold shoot that is characterised by red, white and black.

Make-up trends are also highlighted in the beauty section of the magazine, which offers a sample of Clarins extra-firming day cream on its cover for readers to collect and enjoy.

Pink is a monthly magazine, produced and published by Allied Newspapers Ltd.
