JANE

Debra Jean WestMoreland is my biological mother. Before Debra she was JANE. Jane was born in the Philippines in Manila. At the age of two she was weaned off of breastmilk and they began to give her solid foods and goats milk.

Goats milk is a regular staple in Philippines. It is not out of the ordinary to drink goats milk regularly especially for children in the Philippines.

Jane began to get very sick and her family didn’t know what to do. Jane seemed as if she was dying . Jane began to get sicker and sicker too deep in poverty the family didn’t know what to do . Too poor to take her to the doctor and nearly dying they thought she was dead . They threw her in the dumpster. To this day Jane still refers to herself as a dumpster baby.

Thank God someone heard faint cries and moaning from a dumpster. No one to care for her. Being found in the dumpster was nothing short of a miracle. Luckily someone rushed her to the nearest hospital after being found. Then she was admitted into the intensive care unit where she stayed for days .

An American soldier had been stationed in the Philippines for his service. This American soldier had a wife that he loved very dearly. They were married for a long time . The soldiers wife had been pregnant eight times and every single time she had a miscarriage . John and Betty had given up on having children . While in the Philippines Betty decided to adopt. Betty then headed to the local hospital to visit local orphans that were administered into the facility .

The minute Betty laid her eyes on little Jane Doe, Betty was sure that this was her daughter that she had been waiting for all along. Unfortunately the hospital then denied Betty the ability for her and John West Moreland to adopt Jane; Since she was a Jane doe she was not allowed to be adopted because they had an open investigation looking for the parents and who threw her away.

Betty West Moreland did not take no for an answer so she left the hospital she returned and snuck into the adoption room and stole baby J.

The police were banging at the house door. Betty was afraid not only for the fact that she kidnapped a child from the hospital but she was more afraid to lose her little Jane Doe. Luckily John Wes Moreland was a service man. Betty and John lived on an American soldier base in Manila. Betty was home alone and she had no choice but to open the door for the police.

When the police came inside Betty was holding tight onto her little Jane Doe and she did not give her up. Baby in hand the police couldn’t snatch the child without harming the baby . The police seen that she was a loving mother not a crazed criminal kidnapping children . Betty demanded that her husband John come home from working to speak to the police and demanded justice. As Betty debated with the police why she was a fit mother and why to let her keep her little Jane suddenly John arrived .

The police and John came to an agreement . The base police decided to make an exception even though there was an open investigation. That day they did indeed allow Betty to adopt Jane.

That day Jane Doe became Debra Jean West Moreland. She was now an American citizen. Alive and adopted because of one woman’s years of torment after 8 miscarriages. Betty was Jane Doe’s Angel sent from above.

Debra saved from death now and only child was spoiled beyond belief . Her new mother Betty adored her and beautiful clothes nice shoes her own room. She was now blessed with health insurance dental vision and a family who loves her. She was now blessed with health insurance dental vision and a family who loves her.

Little did Debra know, surviving death was only the beginning of her battle.
