Dominican Sr. Liz Engel, center, met Liddy Olano, left, at St. Dominic's Home, an orphanage in Blauvelt, New York, Engel's former ministry. "I call Liddy my daughter. She relates to me as her mother, and her daughter relates to me as a grandmother. They know me as a sister, but I give them that," Engel said. Because Olano was never legally freed for adoption after her only parent died, Engel assumed that role unofficially. Olano met her husband, Joseph, right, at an event for the home's alumni.
