What a powerful and heartwarming story, James.
The way you and Claire embraced Angel, despite all the unexpected twists, really shows the power of love and family. It must have been such an emotional journey—from the surprise of seeing a girl who looks so much like Olivia, to the discovery of Angel’s true connection to you, and finally to welcoming her into your family.
It must have been difficult to process the information, especially with your past with Caroline. But the way you chose to prioritize Angel’s well-being and let go of anger for her sake is truly commendable. It’s so clear how much love and care you have for both your daughters.
The “Family Day” celebration sounds like a beautiful way to mark the beginning of this new chapter for all of you. It must’ve been a bittersweet moment for Caroline, but it seems like you and Claire’s love and dedication are giving both Angel and Olivia the stability and joy they deserve.
Do you feel like there’s been a shift in your family dynamic since Angel joined? How are the girls adjusting to being sisters?
