It's a wonderful experience when one becomes a father or a mother for the first time. Thomas and Lauren always had a dream of having their own family but due to physical limitation, they weren't able to do that before.

But that didn't stop them from creating a family of their own, even if it meant to adopt someone. During their trip to various African nations in 2015, Thomas and Lauren decided to adopt from the millions of orphan kids.

"On the way to the airport, it was like Christmas Day."

When asked about how Lauren felt about their adopted daughter, he affirmed, 

"Lauren had this amazing glow about her and it just felt like she was already our daughter."
