They said that we weren’t given up because our parents didn’t love us‚ but only because they couldn’t take care of us at that point in our lives. I don’t remember when I realized that was a lie. Some of us were there because our parents didn’t love us. We just didn’t know it yet. My third grade teacher told me to always be careful when meeting new people. She told me that
