Best I can tell, she wasn't given up. She was taken away from her biological family (along with her brothers). There was another article about how her real parents were in mourning after she was murdered last year.
I can't find the reason she was removed from her birth parents but apparently, Child Protection Services in South Carolina have a horrible reputation.
Friggin’ CPS wanted to cremate the baby instead of letting her family bury her. The ghouls wanted to destroy the evidence.
