I think this is beautiful beyond words.Adoptive mom's 'newborn' photo shoot with 13-year-old son goes viral
The face is angelic, the lighting soft and the subject is napping peacefully just the way a newborn photo shoot should look. It took 13 years, but Latrell Higgins finally has his baby photos.
Here's my sweet not so little newborn! His name is Latrell and weighs 112 lbs., his mom Kelli Higgins proudly announced on Facebook, where the boys simple wish created an online sensation.
Higgins and her husband adopted Latrell and his sister Chanya two years ago, welcoming the siblings to their home in Crestview, Fla. The family already had five biological children, with a sixth one on the way, but Higgins felt she had more love to give, especially to kids who would have a harder time finding a home because they were older. In the past decade, more older children have become available for adoption, experts say.
These children, once they get past a certain age, they dont find homes and they age out of foster care, Higgins told TODAY.com.

would be interested in doing it - I would think he'd be concerned about his peers making fun of him. It's a great story.
