Every year, on each Saturday in November, courtrooms across the United States are filled to the brim with cases that can actually bring smiles to the face of each and every person in attendance. On this particular day, judges are given the power and responsibility to grant adoptions. All of the traffic tickets, fights, and nasty divorces are overshadowed by the fact that families are being created. Perhaps most exciting of all, hundreds of children are able to get out of the foster care system and into a loving home. This day has been dubbed National Adoption Day.
Lena and KC Currie, a same-sex couple from Sudbury, Massachusetts, must have felt like the luckiest people in the world on November 23rd when they were able to take home three amazing brothers – Noah who is 1, Logan who is 2, and Joey who is 3. The best part of all is that these three kids are biological siblings.
As Good Morning America reported, the Curries first became parents about a year ago when they were legally granted the chance to adopt Joey. He was only 2 years old at the time. GMA reports that the Curries first set their sights on parenthood in 2017. They spotted Joey at a special event held by Children’s Friend.
The couple saw a picture of Joey and he was only 18 months old at the time. By the time the following March rolled around, Joey was an official member of the family. It was a happy time, but nobody could have guessed that things would get even better.
After a while, the Curries got a phone call from the people at Children’s Friends who mentioned that Joey’s younger brother Noah needed a family as well. Noah, who was 6-weeks-old at the time became the second official member of the newly-formed and rapidly-growing Currie family.
Around the same time, the couple heard about another brother who was going to be adopted by another family. Unfortunately, the adoption wasn’t successful. Lena and KC felt as though the universe was calling out to them.
Eventually, all three biological brothers were brought together under the same roof and within the same amazing family. Lena and KC sacrificed so much in order to ensure that these three brothers can grow up together outside of the difficult foster care system.
