We can never know where life will take us. For a while, Danielle Sims and her husband only had two sons. Then, a special little boy came into their lives. They chose to welcome him into their home as their foster son. He came into their lives just in time for his 7th birthday.

That’s right, Danielle didn’t only adopted her first foster son — she also adopted his three younger brothers! Doing so changed their lives in big ways, of course, but their oldest sons have been supportive. In fact, their formerly youngest child has become quite a fantastic big brother!
