Event organizers and the nonprofit felt that the couple would be a good match for this baby and they told them so.<\/p>\n<p>First, they adopted the oldest, Joey.<\/p>\n<p>Joey was two years old when they adopted him. One year later they adopted his brothers. Logan was 2 and Noah was 1 at the time of the adoption, and they did it on National Adoption Day, AKA November 23rd.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, KC and Lena were only going to adopt Joey and Noah. When they first met the babies, Noah was 6 weeks old and they immediately agreed to adopting him. Logan was a little older but he was living with a foster family and was going to be adopted by another family. That fell through, and the Curries also agreed to bring him into their family.<\/p>\n<p>It was important to the two women that the boys all stay together. Experts in the field agree.<\/p>\n<p>KC told Good Morning America:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was our gut-feeling\u2026.We were going to end up saying yes because keeping the brothers together was really important to us. When they\u2019re older and have questions, they\u2019ll have each other to lean on and experience that ride together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Veronica Listerlund, who is the director of adoption at Children\u2019s Friend concurs that this move is great for the children and that she is confident the kids are in good hands:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s what you want to see happen\u2026They\u2019re a wonderful family. They\u2019re flexible \u2014 they really understand the kids\u2019 needs, the importance of maintaining sibling relationships and the long-term impact of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all three boys in the family, now it\u2019s time for some adorableness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4531\" src=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/boys_end-2-300x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/boys_end-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/boys_end-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/usapress.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/boys_end-2.webp 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:YOUTUBE &#8211; WCVB CHANNEL 5<\/p>\n<p>KC and Lena each get special names for themselves.
