MrBallen Podcast: Episode 126 – "The Forever Home" (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)



night of January 16th, 1984, 9-year-old Annie Swartz woke up suddenly to the sound of voices coming from somewhere outside of her door. When she got out of bed and walked into the hallway, she realized those voices were coming from downstairs, and they weren’t people talking, they were people screaming at each other. However, just as quickly as the yelling started, it stopped, and the house went quiet. Annie was still curious what was going on, so she tiptoed her way down the stairs, but when she got to the bottom, she didn’t see anyone, and the house was still quiet. Then from somewhere outside the house, she heard a sound. When she turned around to see what it was, what she saw scared her so badly that she instantly sprinted back up stairs, leapt into her bed, and pulled the covers up over her head. Annie would eventually fall asleep after convincing herself that what she had seen was just a bad dream. But as she would learn the next morning, that was no dream, and her real life nightmare was only just beginning

  1. Might seem like a small point, but remember kids are still "your own" whether they're biological or adopted.

    Two of my siblings are biological and one was adopted when we were young teenagers. In early childhood her guardian was a much older biological relative who died when my sister was about 8. Neither of her families, her birth family or ours, is less valid than the other. A true family is made of the people who love us, and there's no limit on that.
