Michigan Adoption Story

Lahser coach lands his best recruit
STERLING HEIGHTS -- The thoughts and images Dan and Kelly Loria have when they look at their two young daughters must be astounding.

Whether Katie and Addison are playing outside, watching videos or eating breakfast, they seem inseparable -- as if they've been together forever.

Ten weeks ago Katie, 5, didn't have a baby sister.

That changed June 28, when the Lorias returned home from a two-week trip to China tired, disoriented and, most of all, overjoyed. The couple welcomed home Addie, whom they adopted.

"Having a second child changes your life," said Dan Loria, in his seventh season as Bloomfield Hills Lahser's football coach. "Nothing prepares you for this."
