The last family picture is awesome.girlytwinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264333501375869045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734086813591925889.post-73587228722396734182008-07-30T07:53:00.000-06:002008-07-30T07:53:00.000-06:00That is an amazing story. My best friend's sister ...That is an amazing story. My best friend's sister and husband did this before they were able to conceive. They took in a little girl and loved her from the start. Her mom had problems with substance abuse and her dad was in jail. Dad gets out of jail and decides he wants her. The state hands her over to him. He was in on bad charges also. It breaks my heart. She had a birthmark that was raised on her face and they took her to all the appointments and gave her much needed self esteem and then the next thing they know she is gone.<BR/>Jeff and I have talked about doing this. I would love to help any child out, I just get concerned with what has happened to them. The last thing I would want is a sexually abused child thinking that they can do that to my kids. That is my biggest fear.<BR/>The photos are gorgeous and I am so happy that everything worked out well for them.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162729377463760769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734086813591925889.post-44348534716860828082008-07-29T14:47:00.000-06:002008-07-29T14:47:00.000-06:00That is so beautiful and exciting.

It is refreshing to see a happy ending to this one. Olivia is a beautiful little girl.
