May was abandoned as a baby and was adopted by a foster mother. Her mother lived with three different men, all of whom mistreated her. She managed to escape at age 8 and was wandering the street when found by police. When she arrived at our home in August 2004, she brought with her the bad behaviors she had learned while living with her foster mother. She was lacking in self-respect and had trouble fitting in with the other children. May enjoys studying. Her grades have improved, and she is gradually gaining self-control, and is learning to speak kindly to others. May loves to sing and dance.
