No, the elder lady Marilla, and her brother
Matthew, was the one's who adopted
Anne. Albeit by mistake, since they wanted a boy to help out on the farm, and the orphanage send them
Anne. They kept
Anne though, and didn't send her back.
Can't remember the friends name on hand. Try IMDb and search for either "
Anne of the Green Gables" or simply search for
Megan Follows (The one playing
Anne), and you'll easily find it.
But now I have to find it also.
