JOELY FISHER’S DOMESTIC BLISS WITH DAUGHTER OLIVIA

‘Til Death actress Joely Fisher is a new mom. Joely who is already mom to four(Joely has two daughters True,2, and Skylar,7 and two step-sons Cameron,24, and Colin,22) adopted six week-old Olivia Luna from an unwed teenage mother living in Los Angeles. When Fisher first saw Olivia, she felt that they “belonged together.” Fisher adds, “I remember telling my mom I wanted to adopt when i grew up. This is a dream come true.” Unlike many of her celebrity friends, Joely decided to adopt domestically:

The idea of adopting solidified last July when Fisher went to Mozambique with the nonprofit organization Save The Children. Before she left,the thought of adopting from Africa crossed her mind. “But once I was there,” Fisher recalls, “I felt the people i met wanted me to help them sustain their lives in their own country. The trip was my inspiration to adopt but coming home, I didn’t really know how I would go about it.” After deciding on a private domestic adoption, Joely and her husband submitted the necessary paperwork. Joely says that adopting a child of a different race didn’t faze her. “I had no preference,” she says. “When I found out it was a girl, I was happy. She’ll grow up with two loving sisters and spectacular hand-me-downs.”(People,November 24 issue)
