On my daughter’s 11th birthday, she ripped open my mother-in-law’s “thoughtful” present—and collapsed into my arms. My husband rushed her to the hospital, but when he returned four hours later, he didn’t come back alone. Five police officers. Four lawyers.

Then an officer stepped forward. “Ma’am… we need you to come with us.” That’s when I saw the paperwork—and understood the truth about the gift. …

The storm clouds had already begun gathering when a truck driver spotted her— a tiny girl in a faded pink hoodie, sitting alone on the gravel shoulder of Route 16, arms wrapped tightly around a scuffed backpack, like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. Her name was Emily Hart. Eight years old. My daug …
