00:00This is Mara. This video was taken about a week before CPS removed her from our home.
00:11Hi, Mama. I hope you're having fun at work. You said to make a list of what I want for my birthday. I was thinking Disneyland?
00:21World. Disney World. Denny, do not coach her on her birthday wishes.
00:26Sorry, Mama. Love you.
00:29She's adorable.
00:31When she came to us, she was nonverbal. Completely closed off from the world around her.
00:37Having a real family that loves her opened her up.
00:43Mara needs her family back. We're all she has.
00:48God was all I had, and I'm expected to go on without him. Maybe young Mara will have to learn to do the same.
01:02Please don't punish her, because you can't forgive me.
