On the face of it, her ( Jessica Long ) story is her background. She was a baby in an orphanage in Irkutsk,
Siberia, where conditions were so poor that her father, Steve, took photographs so that one day she could see where she came from.
The lights, plumbing and windows did not work, Jessica was one of many babies with bedpans tied to their cots because there were too few staff to care for them all.
Steve and his wife already had two children but were told that they could have no more and so he had travelled from Baltimore, Maryland, to adopt.
The child they adopted had pretty blonde hair and bones so ill-formed in her fibulas, ankles, heels and feet that he knew that both legs would need to be amputated before she reached the age of 2.
