Dawn and Mike\u00a0Brostowitz never imagined that saying yes to foster care would ultimately result in doubling their family size \u2014 but that’s exactly what happened when they added four siblings to their family through adoption.

Ultimately, the adoption went through, and the Brostowitz family doubled in size, from Dawn, Mike, and their two boys to a family of eight.\u00a0“Nothing about what we did should have been easy,” said Dawn. “But my kids make it easy.
