Out
of the Shadows
In
the earliest pictures Jill Lampman has of her older daughter,
Elena's hair is short and choppy. There are dark circles under
her eyes. When Elena's kindergarten teacher sent home her
first assignment to bring in a baby photo for the bulletin
board Jill knew she had to tell the teacher her child's
story. Elena had spent her first three years in a Romanian
orphanage. "The first pictures I have of her," Jill
says, "are not something I would want to share."
