โ€œIโ€™m happy that Iโ€™m here because everything is wonderful,โ€ 12-year-old Cayley, one of the newest additions to the Sanders family, told the Cincinnati Enquirer. โ€œThis is just what I wanted.โ€

โ€œI would not know where Iโ€™d be right now if it wasnโ€™t for the Sanders. We [were] having a rough life before,โ€ Caleb, her 13-year-old brother, added.

The Sanderses took in the children in 2014 as foster parents; the kids were their first charges as foster parents.

Along with Cayley and Caleb, the Sanderses have also welcomed 16-year-old Coby, 14-year-old Christian, 10-year-old Carson and 9-year-old Chloe.
