Dowse family told of delight after Tristan’s adoption

IT was straight to the photographers’ studio for the Dowse family when, after years of trying for a baby, they adopted a gorgeous two-month-old boy.

The portrait shows a beaming Joe Dowse, Lala and a clearly delighted Tata, Lala’s daughter from a former relationship.

Tata has one arm around her mother and with the other hand, she holds on tightly to her new brother.
