GROWING PAINS I was so excited to read that STEFFY adopts a new baby girl and calls it PHOEBE. I know it’s daytime soap but to decide and receive a baby in a matter of a day or two is just so amazing -- life can be so easy!

Of course Hope is going to bond with this baby as a mother can never forget what she had growing inside her and feel the connection. I can’t wait to see the reaction when they do realise that Phoebe is, in fact, BETH; but at the same time, it will be devastating to Steffy as it would be hard to give up a baby that you…
