(LIFENEWS) – When Monica Kelsey was just eight weeks old, she was lovingly adopted and raised by a Christian family in Paulding, Ohio. Up until the time she was 37 years old, she had a fairly straight-forward understanding of the circumstances of her adoption: Her biological parents had loved her, but were young and couldn’t care for her. So they made an adoption plan.
But when Monica met her birth mother in 2011, she learned the truth.
In August of 1972, Monica’s birth mother, then 17-years-old, was brutally attacked, raped, and left on the side of the road. The young girl pressed charges against the man who raped her and he was arrested. But not long after the incident, the girl discovered she was pregnant and depression overcame her again.
