Two years after adopting Lily, my sister Erin had a biological son, Noah—and decided to abandon Lily. She claimed she “didn’t need a daughter anymore,” calling Lily “just temporary.”
Shocked, I confronted Erin, but she was indifferent. Soon after, Child Protective Services got involved.
With my lawyer’s help, I found Lily in foster care and fought for custody.
After a long process, I adopted her as my own. “Despite the trauma, she’s thriving now.”
Lily turned six last week. She still has fears, but “Erin’s decision will never define her—Lily is finally where she belongs: with me.”
