Amazing Mom And Best Friend Doubles Family

Would you do this for your best friend?

When a mom’s best friend dies, she expands her family… by four.

You’re on the phone talking to your best friend since 5^th grade and she asks if you’ll adopt her four daughters if she loses her battle with brain cancer. What do you do?

When Liz Diamond posed this question to Laura Ruffino the answer was a simple, “Okay.”

According to Ruffino’s husband, Rico, the choice was simple. “We didn’t really talk about the decision to take in the girls,” he said in an interview with People,. “I know that sounds crazy. But I just came out and said [that if] anything happened to Liz, I’d be honored to take her kids.”

And take the girls in they did. Liz Diamond passed away on April 4, 2015, and the next day her grieving daughters moved in with the Ruffino’s. They are currently the girls’ legal guardian and are in the process of adopting them.
