That sparked a lifelong passion for caring for children with complex medical conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Today, the Kniss family includes two biological children, five adopted children and one informally adopted adult, eight children in all. Each child\u2019s story is unique but one thing remains constant, Kelly and Kevin\u2019s boundless love and commitment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhen you take medical special needs kids there there&#8217;s always way more under the surface that we don&#8217;t know about these kids than what&#8217;s on the surface,\u00bb Kelly explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Among their children, Malkahm and Everly\u2019s stories are really profound. Both were adopted from the Heart Institute at Children&#8217;s Hospital after being born with heart conditions. Malkahm&#8217;s story is especially poignant. After initially declining due to Everly\u2019s high needs, their agency, confident in Kelly and Kevin\u2019s ability to care for him, accepted Malkahm on their behalf. Malkahm received a life-saving heart transplant soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00abWithin 15 minutes of them declaring they were going to take him off the list, before they formally took him off the list, our agency called in and said that we would take him&#8230;then they got a call for his heart,\u201d Kelly recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Because one of their children is immunocompromised, the family finds joy in the time spent at home, from dance parties to afternoons in the backyard jump castle. When they venture out, they prefer open-air spaces like zoos or outdoor festivals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With help from the team of nurses and their adult children who live nearby, Kelly and Kevin ensure their kids&#8217; complex needs are met with patience and grace. Kelly\u2019s 34 years of experience have made her a skilled advocate in both medical and educational systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cKelly has become an expert at navigating the systems and learning how to get doctors to talk to each other and learning how to make sure that if things aren&#8217;t quite right to call that out. And also getting the kids to receive the therapies that they need, the accommodations that they need, and the equipment that they need,\u201d Kevin explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Maintaining connections with birth families, even after adoption, is a deeply held value for the Kniss family. Kelly emphasizes that these relationships are vital for a child\u2019s well-being and sense of identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cMalcolm adores his birth parents,\u201d she said. \u201c It was clear that it was really important to Malcolm that he maintained that connection with them and we could see how important it was to his birth parents to maintain some connection with Malcolm too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Their journey hasn\u2019t been without heartbreak. They\u2019ve experienced profound loss, including the passing of their daughter Sierra at 14 due to medical complications. They\u2019ve also felt the pain and joy of saying goodbye when children reunite with their birth families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u00abFostering can make you humble\u2019\u201d said Kelly. \u00abYou grieve the kids that leave and they&#8217;re all worth it. They&#8217;re all worth breaking your heart over.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Even through the challenges, the rewards are immeasurable. Kelly and Kevin find deep joy in seeing their children thrive far beyond their expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe see kids that come in with certain prognosis then we watch them flower and thrive and exceed expectations. Feel free to tell my kids what they can&#8217;t do. They&#8217;ll blow it out of the water,\u201d added Kelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Kniss family&#8217;s story is a powerful reminder that love, dedication, and a generous spirit can transform lives, even in the most challenging circumstances. Their journey is a beautiful example of how stepping out on faith offering grace can lead to a life filled with \u00abdeep belly giggles\u00bb and the profound satisfaction of watching children bloom and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI think our kids help us grow. They do more for us than we do for them. We&#8217;re very different people than we would have been. I guess ultimately, you know, that&#8217;s one of the reasons you do it. I say it&#8217;s the fast track to spiritual growth,\u201d Kelly offered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0884d4d2
