I found the level of neglect by the biological mother in the story amazing. That this could happen in this day and age is beyond sad and disturbing. Her new parent and brother are saints. Laura,
Thanks for that article! I found the level of neglect by the biological mother in the story amazing. That this could happen in this day and age is beyond sad and disturbing.
Her new parent and brother are saints.

But always there was a tie to the birth parents. The children would make excuses for them and then alternate between feelings of love and hate towards them. I wonder as she grows older if Dani will have any memory or display any emotions about her birth mother or brothers? The adoptive parents learned in the trenches, like all parents learn. They and their young son have given up a lot to help their new family member, and it seems they are being rewarded many times over. Thanks for bringing this story to my attention!

I thought the Poynter article about the piece was fascinating - so often, we civilians read news stories without really thinking about what actually goes into them: the research, the interviews, the documentation, the writing, etc. Wow - what an amazing, compelling story.

The people in this story are incredible - it's hard to believe this can happen, but it's so important that we know it did. I'm glad that the team of people behind the story chose to take it on with this vigor and put so much effort and detail in bringing the story to the world. Thank you to them and to everyone involved in this child's rescue. That is one of the most remarkable stories!

That may be the best article I've ever read out of either of the Tampa Bay papers. (I went to school at University South Florida.) What a heart-wrenching story. I'm glad it appears to be having a happy ending. Wow. That may be the best article I’ve ever read out of either of the Tampa Bay papers. (I went to school at University South Florida.)
