When I confronted Dr. Peterson, he revealed the truth: Grace had never been legally declared brain-dead. There had been signs of neurological response—small but real. Recovery wasn’t guaranteed, but it wasn’t hopeless either. Neil had requested to be the primary decision-maker and later arranged to transfer her to a private facility, claiming he would inform me once she stabilized.
He never did.
Instead, he told me she had di:ed.
When I confronted him at home, he finally admitted it. After her illness, Grace had cognitive delays and needed therapy and special schooling. It would have been expensive. He claimed I was too fragile to handle it. So he made a decision.
He secretly arranged for another family to take her.
He had our living daughter adopted out while telling me she was d3ad.
