Giselle MacNeill was adopted from Ukraine. She came to a lovely family where she had a lot of siblings. Then suddenly a day her new mother was found dead in a bath-top. It was a tragedy for the poor teenager. Her new father suggested that she should take a vacation back home to Ukraine.
What the teenage daughter didn’t know was that the father wanted to use the daughters name for his new female interest. What seemed to be a vacation at first became an exile. Only thanks to the extended family of half-sibling she was helped back to the United States.
Quote from ABCnews:
Meanwhile, it had been nearly a year since Giselle left and she was languishing in Ukraine. Her older sisters were worried. Without telling MacNeill, their cousin Jill Harper traveled to the Ukraine to check on Giselle. She said conditions there were terrible.
"I walked in the bathroom and the walls were covered in mold and rust," said Harper. "There was a little pan on the floor in the bathroom, and I was like 'What's that in the bathroom?' And she's like, 'That's our shower. You just stand in there' … I mean I don't even know what movie I've ever seen anything that horrible in."
The female interest was sentenced for various charges of forgery. Her father was sentenced as responsible for the death of her mother. The teenage girl continues trying to start her new life in another city living with the extended family. It took a full year before she was able to return.
