Annie was an only child most of her life, despite her mother's deep desire to have a large family. Unfortunately, when Annie was 11, her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cysts. As a result, she was unable to carry any more children. After years of depression, Caroline's sister, Opal, suggested that she could be a surrogate. This gave Annie her beautiful sister, Hope. Annie was so inspired by her Aunt that she decided she wanted to do exactly the same. #thetideschangingLP
