I was born (God's direct choice) into an abusive family where I'd wish that I was secretly adopted and had another family out there who loved me.

So I can imagine that God would also allow her to be placed in that home.

Also back then babies were considered to be a "blank slate" so that it didn't matter much if personalities matched in the 2 families. The education was that a child was formed by NURTURE rather than NATURE...now we know it is a combination of both.

Perhaps she was chosen for the family because she would have been strong enough to handle it, where the other children wouldn't have.
