Baby Photo Shoot Goes Viral

Kelli Higgins and her husband already had six children when they adopted Latrell and his sister, Chanya. Twelve-year-old Latrell wished he had baby pictures of himself like most other kids his age. His adopted sisters kiddingly suggested they do an infant photo shoot of Latrell at twelve. A professional photographer volunteered to take the pictures. What resulted were images celebrating Latrell’s birth with current pictures of him, and everyone had a good laugh. The unexpected twist was that the images went viral on the Internet. As a result, millions of people saw a very positive story of adoption and what it does for both the adopted children and their families. It seems most times when adoption grabs the headlines, it’s in a negative light. This time it was a happy ending.
