Little Myla kept crying no matter what her parents did to calm her down. At one point, the young parents even visited a doctor and got her checked, but nothing happened. Then Chris discovered a pin in Myla’s cradle and was astounded to learn how it got there.
Stephanie met her husband, Chris, in foster care. Both of them were orphaned at a young age and soon became each other’s whole life. They got married shortly after completing high school and decided to start a family.

“I’m exhausted, Chris,” Stephanie remarked, closing her eyes. “Could you please take care of it today? I had too many clients, and I don’t even have the energy to get up now!”
“All right, just tell me where you keep her diapers. I’ll go look,” Chris said. However, when he checked, nothing seemed wrong with Myla’s diaper. Thinking she was hungry and perhaps could be crying because of that, Chris brought her to Stephanie. “I guess she’s hungry, honey, and you know I can’t do...
