Meet Paola...bright, bubbly, and bashful. She is absolutely one of the cutest little girls I have had the joy to see in my lifetime. Her big brown eyes sparkle, her face is such a light of joy. You'd never know the hardships and struggles she, her baby sister, and her mother have gone through to be where they are today. A third baby is on the way in her family, yet mom is barely 17 years old. I have great fear about what is in store for her during her lifetime, but also great hope that she will defeat the overwhelming odds against her and her family. :)

Wow such a beautiful face and such a tough road to go for her. Makes you sad just knowing what she will face in her lifetime. Nice photos and black and white give great emotion to them.

I am sure whatever happens, if you teach her the right way she will follow it when she gets older. She may not get the discipline from her family but she CAN get it elsewhere. :-))
