Like, oh my goodness, this is our girl, 100%, no doubt.” Recalling that moment, Brown remembered a conversation she had with another adoptive mother. “And she told us, ‘There are two ways …

North, who is about to embark on her first tour as a signed music artist, debuted the look on Instagram, with visible discoloration and scarring noticeable near the piercing sites.
