When Carrie and Craig Kosinski were approached by a family friend to care for her young twins, they immediately agreed, setting off a remarkable journey that would bring them three sets of twins in just five years.
Becoming parents had always been a cherished dream for Carrie and Craig, but they couldn’t have foreseen the unique path ahead. It all began on February 28, 2014, when Adalynn and Kenna entered their lives through adoption. Born prematurely via emergency C-section, the Kosinskis became their legal guardians when the twins were only three months old.
After a couple of years of nurturing their first adopted twins, the Kosinskis received a heart-wrenching call. The twins’ biological mother, facing immense challenges, asked if Carrie and Craig could adopt her two-year-old twins, Cece and J.J. Without hesitation, the couple chose to keep the siblings together and welcomed them into their hearts and home.
During the adoption process for their first twins, Carrie and Craig had endured the disappointment of multiple failed attempts to conceive naturally due to Carrie’s severe endometriosis. Adoption had become their primary plan for expanding their family.
Then, shortly after welcoming Cece and J.J., Carrie discovered something unexpected—she was pregnant! Not just with one baby, but with twins. This astonishing news marked their third set of twins in five years.
“We were shocked but incredibly happy,” Carrie recalled. They viewed it as a miraculous blessing and dedicated themselves to providing a nurturing environment for all six children.
As fate would have it, their doctors were once again amazed. On February 28, the exact anniversary of their first twins’ arrival, Carrie gave birth to their biological twins, Karraline and Clarissa. It was a poignant coincidence that affirmed to Carrie and Craig the path they were meant to take.
Raising three sets of twins under one roof presents its challenges, but the Kosinskis have found immense support from their community. People from all over the country have generously contributed to their fundraising efforts, easing the financial burden of raising six children.
Carrie emphasized that staying organized is crucial in managing their bustling household. Each child brings their own unique personality, and Carrie and Craig cherish the joy and blessing that each one brings into their lives.
This extraordinary journey has shown the Kosinskis that adopting their children was their destined path, forming their own beautiful and unique family. Their love knows no limits, and they wouldn’t change a thing about their journey.
Today, the Kosinski family thrives. Watching their children grow up is a profound blessing for Carrie and Craig. They are grateful for the opportunity to raise these children as their own, alongside the biological children they’ve been blessed with.
