The family who adopted a baby abandoned at a Yakima fire station on Christmas Eve stopped by the station this weekend to catch up with the firefighter who first found the baby.
The baby, now dubbed Evie, was found outside Fire Station 92 around 6 a.m. on December 24th, 2015. She had been wrapped in towels and left in a cardboard apple box, and doctors said that she might not have survived if firefighter JoAnna Albrecht hadn't heard her crying outside. In a Facebook post, adoptive mother Miranda Welch described how she had just received her foster care license two days before getting the call about taking care of the newborn, then dubbed Bella Doe. In that post, Welch says the adoption has just been finalized, and she took the newly adopted Evie Welch back to Station 92 to visit the same firefighters who had been on duty the day she was found.
