When there are five siblings in an orphanage at once, the chances of them ending up in the same foster family are extremely low.
These guys are lucky: fate has sent them real angels!
Thomas and Andy Bonura have been married for over 15 years. The couple always dreamed of a large family, but encountered difficulties.
Andy’s first pregnancy didn’t end well. Then the woman became pregnant with twins, but of the boys born at 25 weeks, only one survived.
The couple tried again and soon had two daughters. After that, doctors said Andy shouldn’t give birth again.
“Even before we had our own children, we decided to adopt a child,” Andy explains.
“The thought didn’t let us down, we found an agency that helped us train and get us online. »
Shortly after, the Bonuras had an adopted son, Bryson. Things were going well, but the two-year-old boy missed his siblings all the time.
It turned out he had four, and Andy and Thomas decided to adopt two more children into the family – David and Gabrielle.
And when it turned out that Bryson’s parents had been deprived of custody of all the children, they agreed to take the rest.
“It was an easy decision. We got to know the guys before they moved in with us,” Andy says, “and we liked them a lot.”
When the children called and asked if we would like to become their adoptive parents, we immediately agreed. These wonderful guys captured my heart.
Thus, Andy and Thomas officially became the parents of eight children. Their already large family was joined by 5 other children.
According to the couple, the decision to adopt five children was the most important of their lives.
Their dream of a big family has come true.
Foster parents strive to surround the family with affection and care and to become a reliable support for children who, by the will of fate, have lost the opportunity to live with their biological parents.
“I was naive, but after going through all the hardships, I was able to build a strong bond with my children,” says Andy.
“Seeing the joy and compassion with which my biological children accepted five adopted children into the family, I feel endless pride and joy. There are so many children in the world who need our love. I’m glad I did.
