A North Texas couple has adopted seven Filipino siblings.
The couple, Chris and Jessica Milam of Denton County made it official on June 8, after an eight-month-long process. Children in the 5 to 12 age group, two brothers and five sisters were living in three different foster care homes in Texas.

“From the moment I read their profiles, I said, ‘Oh, these are the kids for us. They loved animals, they loved to craft, they loved plants’,” Jessica Milam told Fox 7 Austin in an interview.
“We had an empty house we just moved into. We built a house to fill with kids, so we had the space. We’re self-employed, so it makes it a little bit easier to take care of seven kids of various ages,” Milam added.
