So you guys, today, oh, I don't even know where to start.

I am going to be telling you about a absolutely wild case that really had my jaw on the floor

as I was learning about the case, as I was trying to piece everything together and understand

fully what happened here. So much of it still just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, it does, but it's like one of those

friends that she was planning on running away, he convinced his mom to take her in instead. And

it's honestly such a beautiful story, but his mom, Nancy Murchison, agreed, and they ended up just adopting her.

And their whole family agreed that she fit right in.

One of Nancy's boys, Daniel, actually said that he felt like Taylor adopted them as much as they adopted her, which I thought was so sweet.
