In an interview with PEOPLE, Paul and Ashley Kellogg said they would not have it any other way. In fact, they still have plans to have more offspring.

Paul and Ashley's parenthood journey started with six biological children. The couple soon realized that they had an invaluable set of parenting skills that could greatly benefit another child with special needs when Ashley gave birth to Myra, who has cerebral palsy.

Paul and Ashley have adopted five children over the years. They have adopted children with Down syndrome, dyslexia, vision impairment, albinism, seizure disorders, and speech delays.

Still, according to Paul and Ashley, their lives have only been enriched by their additions. These children have improved the lives of their siblings as well, they added.

Heather and her husband, Jamie, were approved by Judge Charles Montemayor to become adoptive parents during a virtual ceremony with state workers and a lawyer.

According to Heather and Jamie, they did not intend to adopt six children. In August 2019, they became licensed to be foster parents and start fostering twin boys.

The couple then found out that the boys had siblings. Meanwhile, the goal was for the children to be reunited with their biological parents. However, the plan changed.

The family said they had rented a theater at the Park North Alamo Drafthouse to have dinner and watch "Despicable Me" as a celebration. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had initially planned to take a Disney World trip to celebrate the finalization of their adoption.
