“We’re walking out of service to our car and the parents approached us with the children and a social worker, and they said ‘would you be willing to temporarily take our children.’ We decided we’re going to do it (…) if not the social worker is gonna have to take the children,” they told Fox13.
What was supposed to be just one night turned to five when the couple made the courageous decision to accept the two little children into their home, despite the fact that they already had 3 children of their own.
The Stewarts knew they wanted to follow their hearts and the biological parents soon signed over custody.
But it didn’t stop there. Initially meant to be temporary, Pastor Ronnie and Krystal soon decided they wanted the brothers to be a permanent part of their family.
“We don’t look at it as we are somebody special, we look at it as they are special, and we’re just excited to be a part of their journey,” they said.
