That babygirl is so cute, she’s just adorable! I also love the whole story behind the adoption.. I think they did something beautiful by adopting the baby.
I’m also very in love with the name they gave their babygirl.. Olivia Luna, what a very nice name!
The family picture is just perfect

It’s good that she’s Fisher-Duddy or else her initials would be OLD

That baby has a beautiful face, she looks like a real doll, like the once in QVC or something. God bless them all.

The Jannuzzi Clothing Green Tank with Hot PInk Heart surrounded by Crystals and Hot Pink Ruffle Shoulders looks absolutely adorable on Olivia!!!

Congratulations to Ms.Fisher and her family, they seem like great people, and you can see how happy they are to have such a beautiful baby girl, she is adorable!!!

Finally, I love seeing Cameron & Colin in the photo. Everyone looks loving & happy.

She is adorable

And I agree, the older sons are quite good looking.

congrats to the new addition!

I love the 2nd and 3rd pic.

It was probably a private adoption. As soon as the homestudy is done, at any time you could get a call from a potential birth mom, could be days, weeks, or even years. The homestudy doesn’t take very long…if my memory serves me right (we adopted in 2004) it took less than 2 months to complete our homestudy.

Well if the process is anything closer to the one in Canada, the parents would have to go through homestudy. That takes few months. And it’s unlikely, that an agency starts offering families to birth mothers unless all the paperwork is completed. So it looks like either the agency she went through is not very organized and reputable, or Joely really jumped through some hoops because of her celebrity status.

First i thought that maybe she found someone herself, in those cases you can actually do homestudy after the baby is placed to your home, but after i re-read the article, it more sounds like the birth mother chose her from the list of other prospective mothers and Joely wouldnt be able to get on that list so quickly after her trip.

Good for Joely on knowing how special a birth mother is and how difficult her decision can be. Many times people adopt and never get to know the woman who blessed them with the greatest gift ever and Joely not only was able to meet her, but to thank her and reinforce how brave she was to make the choice she did. Good for both of them!
P.S.–Can I just say that little Olivia has some of the most kissable cheeks ever? How precious!!!!
