“She’s our daughter now.” Dolly Parton quietly adopted a little girl who lost her parents in the Texas floods. No cameras. No press. Just a quiet act of love — born of a loss they’d carried for decades. Dolly was sad that she’d never had a real child. She’d recently lost her husband, Carl Thomas Dean. The pain had never gone away. So when she heard about this little girl, orphaned and alone in the aftermath of the storm, she didn’t see her as a stranger. She saw an opportunity to extend love where it was needed most. It wasn’t charity. It was healing. And in the wake of tragedy, she gave her not just a home — but a family.
