Daunte Culpepper
When his biological mom was serving time in prison, she had no idea that her pregnancy would become a future NFL legend. He was adopted by Emma Culpepper at just one day old. Culpepper was a giving woman, raising over 15 adoptees throughout her life. When she passed in 2007, Duante said in an interview, "It was the best thing that happened to me in my whole life. I never really had a man in my life. She was my mother and my father."
John Lennon
John Lennon lived most of his life not under the care of his parents, but under the watchful eyes of his Aunt Mimi. After his parents split when he was four years old, John was sent away due to his mother being unable to care for him. When he was 18, he got his final moments with his mother before she ultimately passed away in a car accident. The year was 1958.
