A Michigan family has finalized its adoption of six siblings after the parents said that their adoption took seven years to complete. Gabrielle and Shannon Fessenden said their adoption story began back in 2012 when they had two biological children named Scott and Gianna.“I always knew I wanted children. I didn’t know I wanted this many,” mom Gabrielle told WZZM. Gabrielle instantly fell in love after seeing pictures of Maya, Jordan, and Jay on the Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange website. “Found their picture on my lunch break one day at work, and I thought, these kids are going to be separated.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A new app is being credited with helping make surgery less stressful not for the patient, but for the often forgotten other stressed-out folks: The friends and family of the person undergoing treatment. For example, Elna Stratton was recently diagnosed with cancer of the uterus, reports CBS2’s Dr. Max Gomez.

As Elna was wheeled into surgery, her son Jeb was able to monitor her progress on his smartphone. A new app called Ease allows doctors and nurses to provide live updates from the operating room to anyone the patient chooses. “For some patients, they come into the operating room, not sure if they’re going to walk out, and their family may think that … [Read more...] about Live From The Surgery?
