Failed by the System
An Adopted Special-Needs Family Caught Between Trauma, Bureaucracy, and Unbreakable Love
By: Pixie McLeod
What happens when the very system meant to protect you becomes the source of your greatest struggle?
Failed by the System is a gripping true story that reveals the hidden battles a family faces as it navigates adoption, chronic illness, and a maze of bureaucratic failures. At its heart is a young, adoptive mother of a special-needs family who refuses to be broken by injustice.

This compelling narrative is not just a tale of survival, but a call for accountability and change. It’s a testament to the relentless pursuit of justice and the extraordinary strength found in the fight for those you love.
