There Are No Accidental Kids, Just Accidental Parents.
Author Mike Ryherd has returned to talk about his new book "Kids Sold Separately." And share his story with The Father Factor Podcast Family.
Mike:
Ever felt parental abandonment or neglect? How about that your past had too strong a grip on your future? What about the sting of a betrayal or the despair of all hope being lost? Ever met anyone who was human trafficked? “Hi, I’m Mike, and this is my story.”
Cigarette burns and bite marks on the backs of babies… Kids Sold Separately is an autobiographical account of the real-life conditions in which Mike Ryherd and his brother, Kevin, were sold on the black market by their biological parents as children for $600.
As an adult, a much darker tale began to unfold with the discovery that Mike and Kevin were not alone. A shocking phone call from an anonymous voice began the traumatic journey leading to the reality that the brothers had ten other siblings.
All twelve children were illegally sold separately by their abusive biological parents. Kids Sold Separately details the human trafficking nightmare that scrambled lives along a trail of abandonment and abuse. Mike’s brokenness and betrayal was only healed by the overwhelming gift of God’s mercy. His story of a lost boy seeking identity, sonship and belonging will guide you through the redemptive truths of forgiveness, renewal and restoration.
