Emily Amlin, teacher adopts fifth and sixth children from foster care on Wednesday. While the ceremony made it official, Adrian, Adrianna and her five other children have been a family for two years. Amlin thought she was done adopting when she adopted her oldest children, Kayley and Chloe, in 2006. Six kids later, Amlin has a very full house. “It's not always pretty, but I mean they're normal siblings, they argue with each other … but I am continually amazed at how well they all work together,” Amlin said. Amlin has been raising the six of them as a single parent. “It's hard, but I don't know any different, so I don't know if that's a good thing,” Amlin said. “I've always just done it myself.”
