More about donnelly's life and first family

---

Donnelly, you were conceived out of all the love in the world. Your Dad and I planned to have you. I thought it best that I give birth to you before I turned 40 (I was 39 at the time we decided to add you to our family) so I got pregnant before your Dad and I got married. We married exactly 4 months before you were born (July 14, 2007) to make things official however, we had been living together for four years. You have three older half-brothers, Billy, Stephen, and Christopher. You also have two older half-sisters, Alexandra and Kayla. You loved all your siblings and they loved you very much too. During the CPS crisis, Stephen tried to get you placed with him but they gave him the runaround and used unpaid tickets with the court as an excuse to deny him. You have Aunts and Uncles but you were closest to your Aunt Cindy. Cindy tried to get you placed with her too. She qualified and CPS actually sent her a letter saying that she could go pick you up but the social worker (Antoine Coley) denied having any knowledge of the approval and letter and said that no she could not do so.. You have many cousins, some are in the photo on the side. 

It seems ironic that your adoptive Dad got remarried on July 13th!
