Butler County celebrates adoption day

Twenty-one month-old Parker Katherine officially gained three brothers this afternoon.

The tiara-wearing toddler was one of 28 children who took part in Adoption Day at the Butler County Courthouse.

The group ceremony is a tradition started by Judge Kelley Streib, who said there was nothing like this in the county when she adopted her two daughters in 1999 and 2004.

Parker was adopted by Kayla and Greg Seyler, who live near Chicora.

Kayla said the boys in the family are biological children. But still, the family felt it had more love and room to give to another child.

As a surprise to everyone, when Parker arrived first as a foster child, Kayla found out she also five weeks pregnant with her youngest son, Koah who is now 1.

Brothers Koah; Holden, 5; and Ezra, 3, each donned a T-shirt to the event that read: “Parker Katherine is happily ever after.”
