Paulding Couple Gets 7 Sons For Christmas: Report

A Paulding County couple celebrated Christmas this week with the adoption of seven boys from foster care, says Atlanta TV station.

PAULDING COUNTY, GA - A local family celebrated Christmas with a special gift — the adoption of seven children, all of them boys, according to a media report. Candice and Larry Logan told WSB-TV Channel 2 that their prayers have been answered with the adoption of one set of four brothers and another set of three, ranging from 3 to 10 years old.

The seven of them previously were in foster care with the Logans, Channel 2 reported.

The Logans told the TV station that their house has gotten louder and rowdier; they keep having to patch holes in the walls.

The family celebrated their first Christmas together this week, but money has gotten tight, Channel 2 reported. The Logans need to replace an aging 10-passenger van with a bigger vehicle, so relatives have set up a GoFundMe page to help the family out.

As of the afternoon of Thursday, Dec. 27, the GoFundMe page had raised nearly $12,000 with the goal of $30,000 to help the Logans buy a 12- to 15-passenger van. If you wish to donate, please click here.
