Three Brothers Find Their Forever Family on National Adoption Day
Friday marked a special day for 19 children in King County as they were officially adopted into their forever families. Among them were three brothers—Karl, Mike, and Rubben—who found a permanent home with Stephen Wangui and Caroline Kimani. The event was part of the 24th annual National Adoption Day celebration at the county’s Superior Court.
Karl, Mike, and Rubben had spent years in separate foster homes before being placed with Wangui and Kimani three and a half years ago. Since then, they have thrived under their care. On Friday, the adoption became final, and the boys now share Wangui’s middle name, Ndegwa, following his Kenyan cultural tradition.
The adoptions bring stability to the children’s lives, including the three brothers who now share a surname and a future with Wangui and Kimani. No details about the boys’ biological parents have been made public. The families will move forward with new legal bonds and shared traditions.
