Joely Fisher, star of "'Til Death," is quite the busy lady. She's already a mom to daughters Skylar Grace, 7, and True Harlow, 2-1/2, as well as stepsons Cameron, 24, and Colin, 22. PLUS she has two dogs. But with a heart as big as hers, Joely knew there was room for more. Thus came Olivia Luna, a baby she adopted in September after she took a summer trip to Mozambique.

Joely says, "Once I was in Africa, I felt the people I met wanted me to help them sustain their lives in their own country." After she returned home with husband Christopher Duddy, they decided to adopt privately and domestically.

Only two weeks later, they got a call from their adoption agency. An unwed teenage mother gave birth the day before and wanted to talk to Joely. Days later, the adoption was final, and Joely and Christopher welcomed the new baby into their home.

It didn't matter to her or Christopher that the baby wasn't white. "I had no preference," Joely says. "I felt we belonged together. When I found out it was a girl, I was happy. She'll grow up with two loving sisters and spectacular hand-me-downs."

Now that Olivia is settled into the family, Joely couldn't be happier. "It's chaos around here. But I love watching pieces of my heart running around the house. This is a dream come true."
