Kevin could not believe Melinda was really gone. While they hadn't been in touch for a few years, besides xmas cards and the like, he felt like a part of him had died with her. When Kevin and his family moved to Long Island from London, Melinda became one of Kevin's few friends. They had been neighbors, Melinda was 8 when Kevin was 6. They stayed friends throughout elementary, middle, and high school, until Melinda left for college and Kevin stayed behind. She visited frequently at the beginning.
Melinda had been a single mother for both Zoey and Ria. The girls had different fathers (neither where responsible enough or close enough to Melinda to actually help raise their daughters). It was difficult to manage, especially with work, but Melinda was a strong woman. When Melinda died in the car crash, she had no surviving family who was willing to take the girls in.
Mel didn't personally know Melinda, but had no objection to the adoption once she was fully aware of Kevin's relationship with her. Mel and Kevin both welcomed the girls with open arms.
Kevin's parents weren't thrilled with their decision, since Lucas was just a newborn and they felt that he needed all of his mother's attention. But Zoey, if anything, provided more help with raising Lucas, as young as she was. Zoey also felt very protective of little Ria, and wouldn't let Mel mother her at first, but opened up to her new parents after a few months. Zoey really missed her mom, but Ria was so young, all she really understood was that her mother was no longer there.
It's terribly tragic they will never get to know their mother as well as they should have been able to, but Kevin and Mel are here to be their new parents, and help them grow up and live fulfilling lives.
