A nursing job with the Make a Wish Foundation turned into a whirlwind adoption journey for Kelly Lively of Kokomo, Indiana. It takes a brave and selfless human being to become a conscientious parent, and astronomical levels of love and care to adopt a child with serious health problems. But for Kelly, the challenge came at just the right time.
Kelly, a trained nurse, lost her mother to cancer in 2014, and her father eight years previously. Kelly opened up to The Kokomo Tribune and said that losing her parents made her feel “hollow.” She had seriously considered starting a family, but was unable to conceive children herself.
