Y&R Star Melissa Ordway and Hubby Mark Important Family Milestone

Fan fave Melissa Ordway from The Young and the Restless took to Instagram to share some exciting news about her family.

A Family Gets Some Official Validation

Ordway (Abby Newman) and husband Justin Gaston got the official paperwork that makes their daughter, Olivia, legally theirs.

The CBS sudser star shared a couple pics on Intstagram highlighting how happy the couple is to have a judge officially sanction their beautiful family. See both pics with Ordway’s captions below.

As Ordway said, though, in their hearts, Olivia has been theirs since the couple decided to adopt the wee one last year.

A Happy Hollywood Duo

Ordway and Gaston, both actors, met on the set of the thriller Escapee in 2011. They married the next year.

Abby’s been making some interesting moves on Y&R, and it looks like there’s a lot of light and love in Ordway’s life too. As the actress said in one of her photo captions, “Happy Adoption Day!”

We at Soap Cities offer Ordway and her family our warmest congratulations.

We call Adoption Day, Coronation Day! 👸🏼

Today was the second most special day of my life. Olivia’s adoption day! Surrounded by our family, the judge made Olivia officially a Gaston (even though she already was in our heart). We cannot thank God enough for blessing our family with the most beautiful, smart, fun, little ray of sunshine. Olivia lights up every room she crawls in, haha, and has brought us so much joy. We love you, Olivia. More than you will ever know! Happy Adoption Day!!!
