"John and Robin opened their hearts and their home to 13 adopted children after the birth of their two biological sons in 1993 and 1995," Shimkus said. "God's grace and the Chomko's deep faith are awe inspiring, and the family they have grown together is a testament to the power of love and the importance of adoption."
