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.

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.
General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.
He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.
