(CNN) – A Kansas family is adopting seven siblings. But what is even more amazing is that they already have ten other children.

Gary and Lisa Fulbright say they are on a higher mission to help take are of the children, whose ages range from 3 to 12.

The oldest child, Emerson, says she loves having a dad.

“My mom would leave me for days at a time without being home, and I don’t know my dad. He’s in Mexico, so it’s nice having a dad here I can spend time with,” she said. 

The Fulbrights say they are not focusing on more mouths to feed, but on getting the chance to love and be loved by seven kids who no longer have to search for a family.

They also say they’re looking forward to all of the grandkids.
