She bounced from various foster homes going to four schools in four years. She was featured on CBS4's Wednesday's Child segment along with both of her brothers.

Kaylee craved and needed stability and unconditional love and that's what she has now.

"I like knowing that I'm always going to have somebody there for me," she said.

Sheena has embraced her new role as a mom.

She adopted Kaylee then the boys and plans to adopt more kids from foster care.

"The children they're gorgeous they make me feel complete, give me purpose," said Sheena.

Kaylee also has a newfound purpose not only as a sister but as a daughter.

"I'm glad that she's my mom and I'm glad she chose me because parents who want to adopt they get to choose their kids," said Kaylee.

Kaylee finally belongs to a forever family and is the happiest she has ever been.

On Wednesday CBS4 will host the annual "Day For Wednesday's Child" to raise awareness and money for the Adoption Exchange.
