Marie Preister kisses her birth son Charlie during his adoption party in the basement of St. Teresa's Catholic Church. The party immediately followed Charlie and brother Alex's legal adoption by Terry Preister, Marie's mother, at the courthouse on Nov. 23, 2013, which was National Adoption Day. Terry Preister adopted Marie 31 years ago and now is raising Marie's three sons.
