The Evans have had one of their girls since the day she was born, despite spending the first three weeks of her life in withdrawal from being born with an opiate addiction. The now-two-year-old wailed and shrieked for weeks, but when a pediatrician suggested Kristy bring the child back to the hospital so she could be placed on a morphine drip, Kristy couldn’t stand the thought of leaving the baby alone in a hospital crib. So, Kristy held her throughout each night and drove her to the pediatrician every day for treatment. Sara Miller
