Arrianna and her husband Kent already had three kids, all of them teenagers. So adding two more would be crazy right? Maybe. But it's also been rewarding and fun.

"The Rogers are one of a number of Utah families who have participated with the Save A Child Foundation started by Vern and Nannette Garrett (www.saveachild.cc) that focuses on adopting older kids from poorer countries."

After some initial hesitation, the Rogers adopted two teenagers - Artem and Sasha - from the Ukraine. Arrianna admits that there have been some challenging and discouraging days, but says that she also believes those days would come whether she had five teenage kids or just three.
