Why The Face On The Milk Carton? Not judging, just curious.

Not judging, just curious."Well, Janie's "adoptive parents" (cough) thought that they were rescuing their granddaughter from a cult, knowing that their daughter was never coming out of it; but when they took her, they realized that she wasn't their granddaughter and kept her anyway. I think that although they claimed to love her, it is cruel to abduct a child from her family at such a young age, lie to her about her origins and keep her from the parents she should have had.
So from my perspective her parents were loving, but cruel.

I thought so. I was debating whether or not to add it myself. Thanks for your perspective.
Also they knew that Janie wasn't't their true granddaughter? I thought that they were willfully ignorant.
Cara's Craftastic Creations wrote: "Also they knew that Janie wasn't't their true granddaughter? I thought that they were willfully ignorant."I read this book a long, long time ago, so I apologize if the details are a bit fuzzy for me. But I think I remember them knowing, definitely, that she was not their granddaughter, and choosing to keep her anyway because it was like a lie that if you wish hard enough to yourself will come true...only it won't, not really.
If you remember the end of the book, Janie thought that they were calling to order pizza, and then they handed the phone to her and it was her real family. They knew her real family's phone number the entire time and withheld it from her, so that goes beyond willful ignorance, for me. They freaking knew who this girl was and just hoped that it would never pop up.
Cara's Craftastic Creations wrote: "I think their number was on the milk carton."You are correct. It is just that I read this book in the early 1990's, so the details are a bit fuzzy for me.
