Choosing to adopt a child is no small decision. There are a lot of financial, emotional, and psychological factors at play when someone decides to add a new member to their family—triple all of those if the person is adopting three children.
Choosing to adopt a child is no small decision. There are a lot of financial, emotional, and psychological factors at play when someone decides to add a new member to their family—triple all of those if the person is adopting three children.
Though it may be more complicated to take on that kind of responsibility, one family feels that it was worth it a million times over.
"We saw a picture of Joey and Children's Friend mentioned [it] would be a good match," Lena told ABC News. "He was 18 months old at the time."
He had another brother: a six-week-old baby named Noah.
Noah was also in need of a family, and the Curries took him into their home without hesitation.
And then they learned that there was a third brother named Logan!
But Logan's adoption fell through and he was in need of a family again.
"It was our gut feeling," KC told Good Morning America. "We were going to end up saying yes because keeping the brothers together was really important to us."
Children’s Friend Director of Adoption and Family Services Veronica Listerud spoke to the importance of outcomes like these:
"It's what you want to see happen," Listerud said to GMA.
"They're a wonderful family. They're flexible — they really understand the kids' needs, the importance of maintaining sibling relationships, and the long-term impact of that."
"It's the first year and first holiday where it's all permanent and true," Lena said. "Now we can start dreaming about grade school, sports, and all those fun things."
