A couple from North Texas adopted seven Filipino siblings, making it official on June 8, after an eight-month long process.
Aged 5 to 12, the two brothers and five sisters had been separated into three different foster care homes in Texas.
The couple, Chris and Jessica Milam, only planned to adopt a small number of children but changed their mind after seeing the children’s records.
“From the moment I read their profiles, I said, ‘Oh, these are the kids for us. They loved animals, they loved to craft, they loved plants’,” Jessica Milam said in an interview with Fox 7 Austin.
“We had an empty house we just moved into. We built a house to fill with kids, so we had the space. We’re self-employed, so it makes it a little bit easier to take care of seven kids of various ages,” Milam added. – ngs
