The Unwanted Adoptee

The couple only wanted the baby girl, but the orphangage refused to let them adopt her alone - they were forced to take her older sister if they were going to be allowed to adopt. And that's where the REAL trouble began. Shirley had already been abandoned by her birth parents, now her new life started off being the unwanted one. It only got worse from there. This is a true story of an adoptee who wasn't just unwanted, but physically and emotionally abused throughout her life. This is her story of living through the abuse, while trying to protect her sister, and eventually her escape and adjusting to life on her own. Shirley's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, the power of love, the ability to overcome, and stopping the cycle of trauma and abuse.
