Three Blood-Related Brothers
To their surprise, Children’s Friend had given the Currie’s yet another phone call. This time it was about Logan, who just happen to be the middle child of the two brothers they had just adopted. Unfortunately, Logan was suppose to go to a foster family but the plans sadly fell through. Since the Currie’s already had Noah and Joey, they realized just how important it was for them to have all of the brothers together.
KC explains how her and Lena felt about the situation, “It was our gut-feeling. We were going to end up saying yes because keeping the brothers together was really important to us. When they’re older and have questions, they’ll have each other to lean on and experience that ride together.”
For the Currie’s love wasn’t just about to stop with Joey. They knew just how important it is to grow up with your siblings and have that support. Children’s Friend also completely agrees that this was the best decision for the boys.
“It’s what you want to see happen. They’re a wonderful family. They’re flexible — they really understand the kids’ needs, the importance of maintaining sibling relationships, and the long-term impact of that.” States Veronica Listerud, director of adoption and family services at Children’s Friend.

The Power Of Love
The family couldn’t be happier with all of them together now. KC and Lena are referred to as ‘mommy’ and ‘mama’. For Joey, most of the time it’s ‘mommy-mama’. After having their first holiday together, the Currie’s shared photos of just how happy and loved the boys are.
“Now we can start dreaming about grade school, sports, and all those fun things. It was nice to check off a box and make it true to the world. We are their family.” KC explains their excitement for their family.
Both Lena and KC hope that their family’s story will inspire others to adopt kids. Not only leading by example but showing the world just how happy they all are. Despite adversity and other obstacles, they were able to complete their family and reunite three brothers that were divided. Proving that the power of love is strong and worth the extra effort.
