Only safety and love come to mind when I think back on my early years. From infancy, I was made to understand that I was part of a loving family who just wanted the best for me.
Unfortunately, not all kids enjoy this level of safety. Some children grow up in shelters and adoptive homes, never experiencing the joys of having their true family.
Thankfully, three brothers adopted by KC and Lena Currie of Sudbury, Massachusetts, understood that precisely last Christmas.
Joey, 3, Logan, 2, and Noah, 1, biological brothers, settled into their new forever home together on November 23 of last year—coincidentally National Adoption Day.
When KC and Lena legally adopted Joey (who was two then), their journey as adoptive parents officially began one year ago.
According to Good Morning America, KC and Lena first saw Joey during a Children’s Friend-sponsored event.
“We saw a picture of Joey, and Children’s Friend mentioned it would be a good match,” Lena said. “At the time, he was 18 months old.”
In the end, they adopted young Joey in March. But that was only the start.
Children’s Friend quickly called the Curries to inform them that Joey had a 6-week-old brother named Noah who also needed a home.
After quickly responding “yes,” KC and Lena discovered that there was a third sibling, Logan, whose adoption into another family had failed. The Curries saw that as a sign that someone was attempting to communicate with them.
Logan joined his brothers just a month after welcoming Noah into their home.
According to KC, “It was our instinct” to GMA. “Keeping the boys together was something we would ultimately say yes to. They’ll have each other to lean on and share the journey when they’re older and have questions.”
Being parents to three children under four has undoubtedly not been easy. Still, KC and Lena have accomplished something extraordinary by caring for these brothers.
Joey, Logan, and Noah will now have the opportunity to grow up together and enjoy the enormous blessing of being part of a loving family.
According to Lena, it’s the first year and first holiday where everything is true and lasting.
KC continued, “Now we can start daydreaming about elementary school, sports, and all those exciting things.”
Wow, what a motivational story! And undoubtedly one that is making me cry.
