Adopted Daughter Lucy's Story

Best-selling author and foster career Cathy Glass's 11th memoir, "Finding Stevie," is a gripping account of her adopted daughter Lucy's journey. Lucy, born to a single mother who endured a childhood of abuse and neglect, struggled from the outset. At eight years old, she was placed in permanent foster care, and by the time she was 11, she had been moved from one home to another, leaving her severely distressed, withdrawn, and three years behind in her schooling.

When Lucy comes to live with Cathy, she is in a state of utter despair. Refusing to eat and showing signs of irreversible damage, it seems that nothing can reach her. However, Cathy and her two children quickly form a strong bond with Lucy. They are able to break through to her in ways that others could not, showing her the loving home she never believed existed.

In the end, Cathy and Lucy realize that they were meant to be together as mother and daughter. It just took them a little while to find each other. This touching story is a testament to the power of love and the extraordinary bond that can form between a parent and child, no matter the obstacles they may face.
