The little girl has made amazing progress, and while I doubt she will ever be "normal," it is heartening to know she is now experiencing love and care, and is responding.
I was taken aback at how the mother was acting so heartbroken over the loss of her daughter. For heavens sake, why didn't she take better care of her when she had her with her? I wonder how the boys are these days? Unfortunately, I don't remember if it was mentioned in the article.

Bravo to the people that collaborated on that article. It was a wonderful piece of journalism.
