A Niece’s Gift

Stephanie wants to help her Aunt Donna find the daughter she gave up more than 40 years ago. Donna grew up with a loving mother and a very old-school father who was furious when he found out that at the age of 20, she was carrying a biracial baby. At the time of her pregnancy, Donna had a drug problem and no means of raising a child, so she made the heart-wrenching and courageous decision to place her daughter up for adoption.
