CLEARFIELD COUNTY - Zaden Thomas was an only child wishing for brothers and sisters. In 2008, his wish came true when his then foster brothers Devon and Colin came to live with them.
Four years later, Devon and Colin were officially adopted by the Thomas family.
Devon said " I was happy and excited to live in a home where they could care for me. "
Colin adds, " I have a mother and father now and I am happy with my new last name".
Zaden said " I was so excited to have two brothers".
In Clearfield County, adoption and foster agencies hope hosting an Adoption Fair at the DuBois Diner from 12:00 - 4:00 on Saturday will help answer peoples' questions about adoption and ultimately create more stories like the Thomas's.
