.- Evelyn sat on her mom’s lap, with a toothless grin on her face. A little spit up came out, and her new dad, Virin, jumped to get a burp cloth to clean the mess.

Evelyn arrived in August, and the Vedders are getting used to the early feedings and the late nights once again.

“I’m thankful for her 50 times a day, every day. Your heart just expands fivefold. Her smiles just brighten your day,” said Kristie, holding back tears.

The Vedders are among three families that adopted children in 2010 through Catholic Charities Pregnancy, Parenting & Adoption program. The waiting list is now closed until the backlog of families has been cleared.
