Melissa Ordway Shares Touching Message
On Instagram, Melissa Ordway shared several photos of her daughter, Olivia, and the moments they’ve spent together over the last nine years.
Ordway and her husband, Justin Gaston, adopted Olivia in March 2016. Since the moment they welcomed her into their family, she has been their daughter.
She captioned part of her share, “I couldn’t possibly love Olivia more if I tried. She is ours — fully, beautifully, and completely. One of our greatest blessings.” In her post, she also communicated the message that, “Adoption doesn’t make love different or less…it just proves that family is built by the heart, not by DNA.”
After adopting Olivia, the couple welcomed their daughter, Sophie, at the end of 2017. The photos share the family’s story and their experience during the adoption process.
Every year, the Y&R actress celebrates World Adoption Day and the gift that was given to Ordway and Gaston, in the form of their eldest daughter, Olivia.
What Happened to Abby on Y&R?
Abby’s life was turned upside down when Chance (Conner Floyd) left. She moved on with Devon (Bryton James). However, despite some heightened drama and potential for storyline purposes, Melissa Ordway was dropped to recurring status on Y&R.
Since then, Abby and Devon have turned into quite the power couple. She turned over day-to-day management of Society to Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) while she sits on the board at Winters. She was also part of the group that attended Cane’s extended summer soiree in Nice, France, where her ex-husband, Chance, died tragically.
