Single Mom Discovers Mystery Helper During Her Parenting Journey

“Leave now!” her foster mother shouted, as Kendall shielded her face and wept uncontrollably. “I won’t allow this behavior in my home with your innocent siblings!”
Kendall looked desperately at her foster father, but he simply turned away, unwilling to challenge his wife. Her foster mother pushed her toward the exit. “I should have known you’d end up like your birth mother!”
