My story begins on Tuesday September 21st 1999, where a thirty eight year old woman is giving birth to twin girls but would have to give them up due to drugs in her system, her name is Juanita Banks. She is not my mother though just some person I don't wish to meet. Her first daughter is born 32 weeks early weighing only 3lbs 2oz. Her name is Madelyn Banks. Then Juanita prepares to birth her second daughter, yes, that's me. I have just been brought into this world 32 weeks early weighing only 2lbs 3oz. But there was something even worse than that,I was born with a life threatening complication called Tetralogy of Fallot (tetra meaning three.) I have three things wrong with my heart an asd vsd and a leaky valve.I was rushed to the NICU where I would stay for three months. After that I would have my first major heart surgery. The first of many. Then it was off to foster care. In foster care it was a battle to survive, Maddie and I along with the other children were treated like crap, the food was terrible, and we weren't allowed outside. I was often found eating dog food to live. One day a couple came to the home, their names are Mark and Letitia Moran. They were looking for a child or children to adopt! And they chose Madelyn and I. But there was two very hard weeks where they weren't allowed to see us. That made Tish (as her friends call her) very sad. But one day, we heard Madelyn, Martina. (yes my name's Martina) just then there was an ear piercing screech and out we came. Trying to get to our new parents. My name was changed to Ainsley Grace Moran and Madelyn's to Madeleine Carrie Moran. Yes it was official I was home.
