This Pennsylvania couple are now parents to a group of six brothers and sisters who spent 1,640 days in foster care.
On May 23, 2019, Steve Anderson-McLean and Rob Anderson-McLean of Pittsburgh officially adopted Carlos, 14, Guadalupe, 13, Maria, 12, Selena, 10, Nasa, 9, and Max, 7.
"The judge asked, 'Do you understand at this point forward they are your children? They are just as much as your biological children.' Obviously we knew that, but when I looked up and saw all those eyes, it was very emotional," he said."We never imagined we'd be lucky enough or blessed enough to have six."
Steve and Rob Anderson-McLean have been together for 18 years. They shared a commitment ceremony in 2006 and were legally married in Maryland in 2013. Steve Anderson-McLean said he and his husband were inspired to adopt siblings after seeing a story on TV about another couple who did the same.
