Yet, the family made a monumental decision that would be a life changer for them all. They decided to host a young Colombian orphan for a month.

“We are really enjoying our time with Sebastian. He has blended right into our family as if he’s always been here! He’s kind, compassionate, caring, confident, respectful, grateful, goofy, and funny.”

A SWEET AND FUNNY BOY WHO "FITTED" PERFECTLY

Sebastian was brought to the United States as part of a charitable organization called Kidsave and it was hoped that he would find a home.

JoBen who was born in Peru wanted to help a South American child, and when Sebastian "fitted" into their family so effortlessly, the couple consulted their children about adopting him.

BREAKING THE NEWS TO SEBASTIAN

Sebastian had gone home to Columbia, but the family video messaged him and broke the news in the cutest way.

The family made signs in Spanish, which they then took turns holding up for Sebastian to see. On each sign, they’d written the Spanish word for brother, sister, mama, and papa.

AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE THAT IS BREAKING HEARTS

At first, Sebastian looked bewildered, then the idea sank in and he realized what was happening. His face crumpled, then lit up with inexpressible joy. He would have a loving family again.

ANOTHER LITTLE ADOPTEE IS MELTING HEARTS

Just like Sebastien, Ivey discovered that she was being adopted after she had been in foster care for three years.

At first, the Zezulkas had agreed to foster a little five-month-old baby boy called Kai, Then they discovered that he had an older sister Ivey, and that their mother was pregnant with a third child.

The couple was expecting a difficult transition with Ivey, but the little girl settled into the pretty pink princess room Paige had decorated for her, and the next day asked if she could stay forever.

On the 23rd of August 2018 that the adoption was approved and the Zezulkas surprised Ivey by putting her adoption certificate in a cardboard box for her to discover.
