But it\u2019s a story well worth telling.<\/p>\n<p>Shields grew up in Flint, Michigan with a father in jail and a mother with drug problems and male \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/news\/olympic-boxing-gold-medalist-claressa-shields-221434078.html\">acquaintances<\/a>\u201d who, Shields said, raped and sexually molested her. Her family relied on food stamps that, she believes, her mother sold for drugs \u2013 because food rarely appeared on the table. And when her cousin begged her for abortion money, Shields decided to adopt the\u00a0baby as\u00a0her own while\u00a0a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>Shields\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/espnw\/athletes-life\/article\/11940870\/meet-claressa-shields-toughest-teenager-world\">revealed<\/a>\u00a0to ESPN the story of how she adopted her cousin\u2019s baby in 2014:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">A lot of people don&#8217;t know, but I adopted a little girl. She&#8217;s about 6 months old now. Her name is Klaressa Shields like mine, just spelled with a K. My cousin had her. She already had two kids; she didn&#8217;t want to have another. I told her I wanted to have a baby after the Olympics but with my career and everything, I can&#8217;t afford to get pregnant right now.\u00a0<strong>So she decided to keep the baby, and now the baby lives with me.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>I was there for her birth and got to cut her little cord.<\/strong>\u00a0It was scary seeing her come out. I was like, &#8220;What\u00a0is going on here?&#8221; We&#8217;re still going through the adoption process, but I have her when I&#8217;m at home. When I leave, my best friend&#8217;s mom and her birth mother have her.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A year later, at 19-years-old, she\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/news\/olympic-boxing-gold-medalist-claressa-shields-221434078.html\">told<\/a>\u00a0Yahoo Sports even more about baby Klaressa. Her cousin had wanted to abort Klaressa, but didn\u2019t have the $500 to pay for it.<\/p>\n<p>When she asked for money, Shields refused, writer Kevin Iole reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told her I didn&#8217;t believe in abortion and so I wasn&#8217;t giving her any money to do that,&#8221; Shields stressed.<\/p>\n<p>When her cousin later raised $400, she again asked for Shields\u2019 help \u2013 to pay for the last $100.\u00a0 That\u2019s when Shields pointed to another option.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/ra3HKuoahx\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really wanted a baby myself and I wanted to have one when I turned 18 right after I won the [2012] Olympics,&#8221; she told Iole. Because she couldn\u2019t get pregnant while training for the 2016 Olympics, she told her cousin, \u201cYou have the baby, and I&#8217;ll adopt her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that she did. Shields took Klaressa home and readjusted her schedule to care for her. On the days she couldn\u2019t find a sitter, she opted for training at home instead of going to the gym.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d shadow box for an hour-and-a-half with the baby right there,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s obvious little Klaressa stole her heart.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/w_iACWoaqY\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to give her the best of everything, and I&#8217;m going to protect her like no mother ever protected her baby,&#8221; Shields stressed to Iole at the time. &#8220;I just love having her, even though it&#8217;s a huge responsibility. It makes me slow down and think, and that&#8217;s a good thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But she (and longtime boyfriend Ardreal Holmes) only lived with Klaressa for about eight months,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/boxingjunkie.usatoday.com\/2015\/10\/25\/with-her-life-in-order-claressa-shields-has-eye-on-second-olympic-gold-in-rio\/\">according to<\/a>\u00a0<em>USA Today<\/em>\u00a0editor Bob Velin in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt didn\u2019t go through like it was supposed to,\u201d Shields admitted to Velin. While her cousin \u201cdidn\u2019t want anything to do\u201d with Klaressa at first, she later changed her mind and demanded visitation rights as well as \u201ca lot of other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The situation climaxed when Shields confronted her cousin about stealing something from her. \u201c[T]next day she showed up with the cops at my house and said that I had kidnapped the child,\u201d Shields told Velin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could\u2019ve went to jail when she called the cops on me. I had to explain to the cops that this child has been staying with me the last eight months,\u201d Shields said. \u201cEverything she has is here. Her milk, her car seat, all her clothes, everything is here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Shields forgave her cousin and gave Klaressa back to her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very hurtful, but after all that I still forgave her and wanted to talk about the baby,\u201d she said. \u201cBut she wanted all these exceptions put in the adoption contract. It was too much for me. I said, \u2018I\u2019m not going to let you control my life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Afterward letting Klaressa go, Shields became sick for weeks and lost a significant amount of weight. But for Shields, setbacks translate into a challenge to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[N]ow I\u2019m able to focus more on training,\u201d she said, looking at the silver lining. \u201cI still think about the baby all the time but it was like, maybe it wasn\u2019t time for me to have a child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it was time for her to\u00a0<em>save<\/em>\u00a0a child \u2013 a child that likely wouldn\u2019t be alive today if not for her.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/wAAtX9oamQ\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And, as she told Iole, she has an important message for other girls struggling to survive life\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re a girl and you&#8217;re having a bad day and it seems like it&#8217;s never going to get better, think of me,\u201d Shields said. \u201cLook what I&#8217;ve done. Look what I overcame. I did it. I dreamed about reaching a goal and I made it happen. You can, too. I&#8217;m living proof of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/o15nuboapK\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/rDvt2xoamj\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/xhSyYYIauf\/<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was originally printed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsbusters.org\/blogs\/culture\/katie-yoder\/2016\/08\/23\/us-olympic-champion-saves-cousins-baby-abortion-ill-adopt-her\">Newsbusters<\/a> on August 23, 2016, and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Newsbusters)\u00a0Claressa Shields made history in Rio as\u00a0the\u00a0first U.S. boxer to win back-to-back gold medals.
