“I saw how much these kids needed someone to love them because they had no one else to go to,” Pam told Metro. “I called the adoption service every week to show them how much I wanted to help these children.”

That persistence paid off in June when Pam and Gary finally brought Adelino, 15, Ruby, 13, Aleecia, 8, Anthony, 7, Aubriella, 6, Leo, 5, and Xander, 4, home.

While adjusting to a new life is never easy, the wonderful brothers and sisters fit right in!

They have since had a blast hanging out together and vacationing at the Disneyland Resort

But their favorite memory by far is the day they became an official family!

Pam and Gary’s grown children came to celebrate the adoption. After all, they have grown to love their new siblings just as much as their parents do!

Of course, caring for seven children has its challenges and frustrations, but these second-time parents wouldn’t change a thing.

“We have never looked back since the day we met them and never doubted what we’re doing is the right thing to do,” Pam explained. “I have noticed how incredibly happy they are and that makes me so happy too, because that’s all we ask for. The oldest of the seven, Adelino, said to me recently, ‘Thank you for giving us this life,’ and there is no other feeling like that.”
