Seven brothers and sisters adopted by same couple after four years in care

 

 

Seven brothers and sisters who spent nearly four years in care have been adopted by the same couple.

Maria, Elizabet, Guillermo, Jason, Kristina, Katerin and James have been adopted by Josh and Jessaka Clark in Georgia, US.

The siblings were in care for 1,359 days before the couple's adoption process was completed on 9 May 2017. see more pictures below

Josh and Jessaka started the process two years ago and the children lived with the couple for the past 10 months.

The couple already had one biological son, Noah, and refer to the new additions as their "super seven".

"My husband Josh and I both knew that we wanted to adopt children. We had decided this before we even met each other," Jessaka told Fox News.

"Josh has a heart for the thousands of children that don't have parents and knew he wanted to bring some of them into his home."

That home looks likely to get even bigger after the couple raised more than $20,000 (£15,500) on Go Fund Me in less than 24 hours to expand their property to make more rooms for the family.

Their fundraising page also states that the couple plan to take in more children.

"We are truly blessed to be able to show people the beauty in adoption and shed light on the need for foster and adoptive parents," she wrote on her Facebook page.

"Going to the school right now to change my babies name," Jessaka wrote on Facebook

She also shared photos from a school visit on 10 May to change the children's names.
