Candice -- a.k.a. Candi (Cane) -- is just as sweet as can be. She's been through so much, but she's a true fighter. Read Candi's timeline of events below to catch up on her journey since birth.
She's our little angel. Candi's a very happy girl; she smiles all the time. Her gorgeous eyes and sweet face can light up a room. She's precious, like a real live baby doll. People say she looks the most like her Mom.
Candi loves it when people talk to her. She enjoys her mobile, but her favorite pastime being held, quiet and content. She loves to splash around in the bath. Candice is very attentive and enjoys being around her brothers and sisters. She'll surely be ready to talk to her sisters and brothers -- as soon as someone gives her a voice.
