Sister Demands ‘Custody’ of Kids She Gave Up

Imagine adopting your sister’s children, raising them as your own, and then five years later, she wants them back! That’s the situation one woman finds herself in after her sister, Annie, gave up her daughters due to postpartum depression and an inability to care for them. Now, after losing her job and moving back in with their parents, Annie wants to regain ‘custody’ of her biological daughters, Sophie and Laura. But the adoptive mom isn’t having it, and the family is now divided. Let’s dive into this emotional rollercoaster of a story.

Annie’s return and demands for ‘custody’ of her biological daughters have caused a rift in the family.
