Having children had always been Carrie and Craig’s dream, but they had no idea what a journey lay ahead of them.
After two years of raising the girls, Carrie and Craig heard from the girls’ biological mother, who explained that she had another heartbreaking situation.
She suffered from severe problems in her life and found it difficult to make them work. She asked the couple if they would be willing to adopt her two-year-old twins Sissy and JJ.
The young twins were Kanye and Adeline’s biological brother and sister.
Adoptive parents Carrie and Craig had to think carefully about the right thing to do.
“It’s a difficult situation. We tried to get pregnant on our own. But they were siblings so it was definitely part of our consideration – we wanted the siblings to be together”, Carrie said.
Carrie and Craig put their worries aside and told the mother that they would be happy to adopt the young twins.
But weeks after welcoming Sissy and JJ into the family, Carrie felt strange and realized she needed to see a doctor.
An ultrasound revealed that she was pregnant. In fact, not one embryo appeared on the screen, but two! These will be her and Craig’s third twins in five years!
Although they were a little shocked at first, Craig and Carrie knew their pregnancy was a godsend. The two decided to do everything they could for the six children to grow up in a loving and safe environment.
Unbelievably, twins Carlin and Clarissa were born on February 28th – exactly the same date the other two sets of twins were born!
The fact that all of Carrie and Craig’s children were born on the same date was a sign from heaven for the parents – that it was meant to happen.
Carrie said: “It’s clear that God has a sense of humor”.
Unfortunately, Carrie and Craig’s biological twins were born at 25 weeks pregnant and had to spend several months in the hospital. But when they were able to return home, Carlin and Clarissa were healthy and strong.
Six children is not a cheap business at all, but luckily the good people in the community supported and helped Carrie and Craig.
The fact that all six children were born on the same date – Sissy and JJ were born on February 28, 2013, Adeline and Kenya were born on February 28, 2014, and Carlin and Clarissa were born on February 28, 2016 – made Carrie and Craig feel that someone up there had a plan for their family.
And it’s hard not to agree!
Watch the family’s amazing journey:
A huge thank you to Craig and Carrie for their huge hearts. It’s wonderful that they take care of four children as if they were their own.
In a way, it feels like the couple got a reward they deserved, as they got to give birth to adorable twins of their own.
A female police officer, still grieving the loss of her baby during childbirth, made a shocking discovery when she found an abandoned newborn in the trash. Without hesitation, she cradled the helpless infant and, in a moment of instinctive compassion, began breastfeeding the child. But as she changed the baby’s diaper, she noticed something that sent her crashing to her knees in tears.
Just days earlier, Karen had been at home when a searing pain ripped through her abdomen. The pressure was unbearable, forcing her to double over, clutching her stomach. Her breath came in ragged gasps as panic set in her water had broken. The baby wasn’t due for another month. Trembling, she reached for her phone and called her husband, Mark.

On the other end, Mark was still half-asleep, confused by the early-morning call. Next to him in bed lay a woman Julia, Karen’s best friend and confidante. Mark, trying to sound calm, promised Karen he’d rush home. But as he hurried out, Julia watched him leave with unease…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
The sun had nearly vanished beyond the crumbling rooftops of Detroit’s projects, casting a cold copper hue across the sky. Marcus sat silently on the front steps of his building, a wrench in hand, his grease-stained overalls soaked from a late drizzle. At just 23 years old, Marcus carried more weight than most men twice his age.
His mother had died when he was 10. His younger sister was lost to the foster care system. His father, once proud and strong, had disappeared into the streets and never returned. All that remained was the burden of poverty and the constant pressure to survive. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
Marcus worked long shifts at a rundown auto garage owned by a grumpy old man who paid him in cash and expired snacks. He’d once tried to finish community college, but bills, street pressure, and hunger crushed that dream quickly. His days bled into nights and his nights into silence.

In 2011, a heartbreaking tragedy took place in Utah that left a community devastated and serves as a chilling reminder of how quickly life can change.
Three teenage girlsEssa Ricker, Kelsea Webster, and Kelsea’s younger sister, Savannah were spending time near train tracks, something they reportedly loved to do. The teens were known to be fans of trains and had gone to a railroad crossing in Covered Bridge Canyon to take photos and enjoy the passing trains.
As they stood near the tracks, the girls waved at a train coming in one direction, likely feeling excited and carefree in the moment. What they didn’t realize, though, was that another train a large freight train was coming from the opposite direction on a second track. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
