Most kids can’t wait for Halloween, but not for these two adopted daughters. The holiday always brought back some painful memories for both girls as a result of a past traumatic experience. However, Halloween in 2017 was a different story!
In 2014, Amy Beth Gardner, of Cleveland, Tennessee, welcomed two foster children, Bridgett, then 5, and Breonna, then 9, into her family after she and her husband struggled with infertility. During fall that year, Gardner detected her adopted daughters would freeze in fear every time she mentioned Halloween. When she asked both sisters why, their answer made her blood run cold.
