Girl Adopted as Man's Final Wish

This Christmas was bittersweet for one family that lost a father but gained an adopted sister. The man died just minutes after learning that the adoption of the 11-month-old baby was finalized by the court.

When the man learned about the young girl, he became intrigued with her story. In just the first few months of her life, she had been bounced around from foster home to foster home. It was his dying wish that the little girl be adopted by his family, a wish that was granted just 11 minutes before he succumbed to his cancer.

The little girl will be raised by his wife of 18 years. She told the press that the little girl knows who her father is since she helped decorate the Christmas tree with him this year.
