Olivia Christine Gaston was born on April 30, 2016, and was welcomed by her parents. Olivia’s life, however, took a different turn when her biological parents abandoned her for adoption centers, where she met her adoptive parents, none other than the gracious actress Melissa Ordway and Justin Gaston.
Melissa and Justin completed the adoption paperwork and transported Olivia to her new home, where her new family awaited her with new hopes and dreams. Her parents had been trying for years to have children. And, by God’s grace, they were united with Olivia.
Olivia’s parents had been married for four years before welcoming their first child, a daughter. They met in 2011 while both were filming for the film Escapee, in which Melissa played Renee and Justin played Kyle.
Melissa and Justin also had their sacred wedding in September at an Atlanta church in front of their closest friends and family. And that was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives that held so much joy and blessings.
