An Innocent Baby: Why would anyone abandon little Darcy-May?

Written by Cathy Glass

Narrated by Denieca Fairman

When foster carer, Cathy Glass, is asked to foster Darcy-May, a two-day old baby, she is very concerned.

The baby is coming to her straight from hospital and will have no contact with her teenage mother, Haylea. Even more worrying, she will be brought to Cathy with a police escort as it’s vital her extended family don’t know where she is.

Abandoned at birth, Cathy and her family quickly bond with little Darcy-May although they have to accept she will eventually leave them to be adopted. But fostering is rarely straight forward, and when Haylea asks to see her baby a different story begins to emerge. It’s so alarming that even Cathy, a highly experienced foster carer, struggles.

Another Heartbreaking & Teary eyed & BrIlliant Book From Cathy !!!, This is my 9th book of Cathy's I've read & I absolutely love them all. What an amazing Mum & Carer I was in children's homes myself when I was a young child myself but I'm now a Mum to 5 kids of my own. Cathy is amazing how she deals with the seriousness of each child's problem's & need's I wish I'd of had Cathy as a carer when I was a child, she comes across as a very caring person it amazes me how she deals with the seriousness of the child's problem's like Hayley having been used & abused by her own family & passed around like a tub of chocolates at Xmas ? it makes me feel sick to my stomach that these ppl are able to live amongst us & we're not aware of what's happening it could even be our neighbour's, I just wish that there was a way for us to wipe them from the face of this Earth. Thanks Cathy for yet another amazing book onto the next one now, I think I'm going to read nxt Finding Stevie I doubt I'll be able to stop from wanting to kill the parents or grandparents in the Story or even stop myself from bawling me eyes out lol but I'm addicted to her book's haha keep up the good work Cathy ??
