With two parents and five biological children, the Sanders family was already pretty big, but they decided there was still room for more love. So they adopted six siblings at the same time, making for one big, happy family of 13.
Ohio residents Christina and Christopher Sanders took the six children into their home as foster parents back in 2014. Since then, Coby, 16, Christan, 14, Caleb, 13, Cayley, 12, Carson, 10, and Chloe, 9, have been living in their six-bedroom home, and the Sanders kids have welcomed them with open arms. When the parents decided it was time to make things official, the six siblings were ecstatic and, most importantly, grateful to join their family without getting split up.
Thirteen-year-old Caleb told the Cincinnatti Enquirer [2], "I would not know where I'd be right now if it wasn't for the Sanders. We (were) having a rough life, before." His younger sister, 12-year-old Cayley, could barely contain her excitement on the day of their adoption. "I'm happy that I'm here because everything is wonderful," she said. "This is just what I wanted."
