Leslie’s parents welcomed her into their family when she was only four days old and told her that she was adopted as soon as she could understand. Growing up, Leslie’s family poured out their love and made known to her the special blessings of adoption. At age 17, Leslie found herself pregnant.
“I was so young and scared to death,” Leslie recalls, “I knew giving my baby up for adoption would be the best possible solution. Leslie contacted Catholic Charities New Hampshire, where she met Elaine Langton, the Adoption & Maternity Social Worker. “She was very caring and understanding of all of my needs.”
“I ended up giving birth to a healthy eight-pound baby girl on November 14th, 1992…. I had such a positive experience growing up in a wonderful family, and I wanted to give that experience to her. I would’ve loved her with everything I had, but I knew that wouldn’t be enough, and she deserved so much better.”
“Catholic Charities gave me a little bit of time before I had to go to court to sign over my parental rights, to make sure I wouldn’t change my mind. I knew my mind was made up and this was the best for everyone involved. I was also happy to hear from Elaine after everything was finalized. She told me the parents were so happy and the new mother cried and said that her new daughter, Kelly, was the best gift that anyone could ever give.”
Over the years, Leslie wondered, not about her adoption decision, but about how Kelly was doing. Would she ever want to find her birth mom?
Years after her adoption, Kelly would always wonder about her origins. “As I grew and developed my own personality, I became increasingly curious about my roots—what traits, nationalities, diseases and characteristics ran in my blood, who my birth family was, what they were like, etc. Mostly, I had wondered what my birth mother was like. I remember making a list when I was 8 years old: “What is her name? Is she nice? Is she married? Does she like the Backstreet Boys? Does she have any tattoos?”
“My birth daughter was reaching out and I couldn’t
believe it!”At age 20, guided by faith, Kelly decided to contact her birth mother to thank her for the powerful decision she had made. “Her choice to put me up for adoption through Catholic Charities New Hampshire was the fundamental reason I sat there that day, thanking God for the incredible opportunities I had been presented with in my life.”
Just as she had guided and helped Leslie, Elaine Langton was there to assist Kelly.
“In September of 2013, I received a letter from Catholic Charities. All of a sudden, a feeling came over me, and I just knew.” Leslie recalls. “My birth daughter was reaching out and I couldn’t believe it!”
A month later, 21-year-old Kelly and her birth mom met for the first time. Kelly remarks, “It was a beautiful day that I will always remember. I was elated to learn that she leads a healthy, happy, successful

life with her own family here in New England. It was incredibly humbling to finally be able to put a face and a name to the woman who made the biggest sacrifice, and ultimately, the greatest decision, for ME. …We are both so fortunate and grateful for Elaine and CCNH’s Adoption & Maternity Services in all that they have contributed to our lives.”
“I could not be happier with how our reunion turned out. Not only was I able to convey my gratitude to Leslie that day—for the decision she had made, but I was able to learn so much about her and her own experiences and begin the most one-of-a-kind friendship with her…. My parents remain eternally thankful to Leslie for bringing me into their world.”
Leslie and Kelly continue to stay in touch. Leslie remembers what was once a difficult situation and marvels: “This entire experience has been amazing. I am so thankful at the way Kelly has turned out, and that’s because of the amazing life her parents have
given her. She is an amazing, smart and beautiful young lady now and that was all I ever wanted for her…. I have Catholic Charities and her parents to thank, but more than anything, Elaine Langton.”
“It was incredibly humbling to finally be able to put a face and a name to the woman who made
the biggest sacrifice, and ultimately, the greatest
decision, for ME.”
Adoption is an act of love with the power to move lives forward for generations as Leslie and Kelly’s story shows. Adoption & Maternity Services at Catholic Charities New Hampshire support adoptive and birth parents with care and understanding in a safe, compassionate environment.

After years of suffering in a highly abusive relationship with her American husband, to save herself and her son, Lucia had no other option but to leave. Through her faith, she put her trust in Catholic Charities’ Immigration & Refugee Services.
One of the goals of Immigration & Refugee Services is to provide legal assistance to immigrants who are low-income survivors of domestic violence or victims of certain crimes. Often, abusers use their position as the person who petitions for the victim’s citizenship as a way of ensuring silence. Immigrant women, men and children who have been abused by U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents have the ability to apply for immigration status on their own.
“My son and I have a dream. Someday, we want to have a
home of our own.”A Catholic Charities legal advocate specializing in domestic violence guided Lucia through the complex legal process of obtaining her work authorization and eventually her Green Card. With this assistance, Lucia could begin to establish a self-sufficient life outside the destructive cycle of violence. “I worked two and even three jobs, cleaning offices, cleaning a childcare center in Manchester and doing whatever I could,” recalls Lucia when describing how she first provided for herself and her son.
Thanks to the work authorization and Green Card that Catholic Charities helped Lucia obtain, new opportunities became possible for Lucia. Working
at the childcare center, she watched the teachers working, and knew that she wanted to become a teacher one day.
She saved money to take classes at Manchester Community College, to become licensed as an Assistant Early Childhood Education teacher. When a job at the center opened up, Lucia applied and was hired. Lucia continues to take classes, working toward a full teaching certification.
Our Immigration & Refugee Services assisted Lucia in obtaining full citizenship for herself and her son. Lucia and her son, now fifteen, are looking to the future: “My son and I have a dream. Someday, we want to have a home of our own.”
Lucia’s story is one of the many successes made possible because of your support of Catholic Charities. “The support of Catholic Charities made such a difference in my life. Without their help, I could not get my Green Card, could not get a job… I will always be grateful to Catholic Charities.”
A New Life for LuciaImmigration & Refugee Services
Since 2008, 305 domestic violence victims have come to Catholic Charities for help.
100% of adjudicated cases have been decided in favor of our clients.

This year, Catholic Charities begins its 70th year of operation - A milestone that is a testament to the incredible support we have received from communities across the state. Your continued support allows us to address the vital needs of 1-in-13 people throughout New Hampshire, and to advocate for the impoverished and the vulnerable that come to us for help every day.
Thank you for providing hope and support to individuals like Lucia, Leslie and Kelly. Your compassion and dedication is truly the
foundation of the work we do. Every story is unique, but one thing ties them together: you. Thank you for helping us to move lives forward.
God bless,
Tom BlonskiPresident & CEO
In this year’s Annual Report you have seen how every dollar donated helps Catholic Charities New Hampshire in its mission to serve. Facts and fi gures, however, can’t tell the whole story; there are the names and faces of real people whose lives have been affected and changed through this work of our Catholic Church here in New Hampshire, work that can never be fully measured.
The volunteers and staff at Catholic Charities New Hampshire could tell you so many stories of those who have walked through their doors. Many of those people would be invisible to us, but Catholic
Charities gave them dignity, strength and hope.
Among the many stories you might hear from CCNH staff members or volunteers, one might want you to know about the refugee who had to fl ee from his homeland—literally having to run for his life—as his village was being destroyed by the ravages of a war that we might even call a genocide. Coming now to the relative safety of the U.S., he sought and received sound legal advice to obtain a proper, legal worker’s permit. Another Catholic Charities worker might want to tell you about the Hand-in-Hand program, which pairs teenage volunteers with adult mentors to do home repairs for those who are unable to do them for themselves, including seniors, the disabled, and veterans. Still another member of our staff might want you to hear about OUR PLACE – a program for young mothers where they learn basic nurturing and parenting skills.
Bishop Matthew Brady, who founded the New Hampshire branch of Catholic Charities in 1945, said of its mission to the poor and those in need, “We serve them not out of mere sentiment…It is the fulfi llment of a divine command!”
Sixty-nine years later Catholic Charities New Hampshire continues to serve, and so we continue to ask for and welcome your support in this most urgent Gospel mission. As Bishop of Manchester, I extend my deepest thanks for your prayers and partnership as we fulfi ll our inheritance as Disciples of Christ.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Peter A. LibasciBishop of Manchester
