Eleanor, grieving her daughter Ava’s loss to cancer, decided to adopt. Upon spotting Charlotte at Grace Adoption Services, she felt a powerful connection, Charlotte reminding her of Ava. Determined, Eleanor pursued adoption despite her estranged husband Joseph’s undisclosed secret.

At the agency, Eleanor met Samantha, discussing her application and hopes for adoption. Samantha, sensing Eleanor’s determination, encouraged her to meet Charlotte in person.

During their park meeting, Eleanor bonded with Charlotte, drawn to her resemblance to Ava. Over time, Eleanor prepared her home for Charlotte, involving Joseph in their evolving family dynamic.

However, a revelation shook Eleanor when Samantha disclosed a potential biological link between Joseph and Charlotte. An affair during their separation raised questions about Charlotte’s paternity, prompting a paternity test.

Thankfully, the test confirmed Joseph wasn’t Charlotte’s father, easing Eleanor’s fears of legal complications. With Charlotte officially part of their family, Eleanor embraced their new beginning, honoring Ava’s memory through their shared journey.
