Ever since Angie K. Elliston was nine years old, she knew she wanted to be a mother when she grew up. However, she didn’t want to have children of her own. Even at such a young age she knew there were so many children in the world in need of a loving family, so she wanted to adopt.

Elliston is 48, and lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She and her husband have adopted a total of 13 children. Elliston knew were so many kids in the world already, and she wanted to make sure that they were loved.
