Chapter One: Dolly and Jingles The Cat

Lydia Kate was born in Adelaide Australia to a young single mother. She was born two months early at 3lbs 1oz and 16in long. With her health issues, her mother couldn't afford her health care and put her up for adoption wanting a better life for her with her hopefully forever family. Just after being born, it was discovered that Lydia Kate was born with Retinopathy Of Prematurity which means she was born with extra blood vessels in her eyes. She went through laser surgery to help correct this but will need glasses for the rest of her life as a result. As she spent time in the NICU, she underwent plenty of tests to check her health to make sure she was healthy enough to be adopted. Along with the ROP, they noticed a milk allergy. She had the pretty severe side of it and would have to switch to a soy formula. Soon after, she graduated from the NICU and was able to be placed in foster care before being adopted. Just a few months after being born, Lydia Kate's forever family was found. She'd be adopted and travel all the way to Atlanta Georgia and live with the Bit family. Leta and Greg Bit. She has two much older brothers, Nathan and Chad Alan, plus a niece and a nephew, Kayla and Josiah. This is her life, living with the Bit family.
