Adeleine

age 2 weeks

Adeleine was not expected to be born alive. A photographer was dispatched to capture some of the only images of her that would ever be taken. Here her family waits for her arrival.

One of the feistiest, most determined humans you could ever meet, as you will hear, Adeleine had plans beyond her prognosis.

In spite of the considerable life threatening medical conditions she was born with, Adeleine’s ability to track her mother and father was sharp and immediate. She followed the sound of their voices perfectly.

She smiled from day one.

Adeleine had a few more surprises up her tiny sleeve before she left this world. In spite of daunting challenges, she was allowed to go home with her mom and dad.

Against unbelievable odds, Adeleine lived for two weeks. All she ever knew of this world was the unwavering love and tenderness showered upon her by her family. She is dearly missed.
