A beautiful page and a moving story Annita. It is wonderful that you persisted in your battle to adopt Jeri-Ann and to be there at a time she needed the stability and love of her family. What a brilliant job you both did and a rewarding photo of her as a gorgeous young bride. Precious memories for all of you xx
