Not all children have such security. Some grow up in shelters and adoptive homes without knowing the joys of a real family of their own.
Fortunately, three brothers will know exactly that this Christmas was adopted by KC and Lena Currie of Sudbury, Massachusetts.

On November 23 of last year – coincidentally National Adoption Day – Joey, 3, Logan, 2, and Noah, 1, who are biological brothers, got to settle into their new forever home together.
KC and Lena’s journey to adoptive parenthood began a year ago when they adopted Joey (who was two at the time).
According to Good Morning America, KC and Lena first spotted Joey at an event sponsored by Children’s Friend.
“We saw a photo of Joey and Children’s Friend mentioned [it] would be a good match,” Lena explained. “He was 18 months old at the time.”
They ended up adopting Little Joey in March. But that was just the beginning.
The Curries soon received a call from Children’s Friend telling them that Joey had a 6-week-old brother Noah who also needed a home.
KC and Lena took no time to say yes, only to then learn that there was a third brother, Logan, whose adoption into another family had fallen through. The Curries took that as a sign that someone was trying to tell them something.
Just one month after letting Noah into their home, Logan, too, joined his brothers.
“It was our gut feeling,” KC told GMA. “We would end up saying yes because it was really important to us to keep the brothers together. When they are older and have questions, they’ll have each other to lean on and experience that ride together.”
Of course, becoming parents to three kids under the age of 4 has been no walk in the park, but KC and Lena have done a remarkable thing in accepting responsibility for these brothers.
Not only will Joey, Logan, and Noah now grow up together, but they will also benefit from the immeasurable gift of being in a loving family.
“It’s the first year and first holiday where it’s all permanent and true,” Lena said.
“Now we can start dreaming about grade school, sports, and all those fun things,” added KC.
Wow, what an inspiring story! And certainly, one that’s bringing tears to my eyes.
