adopted two sons last year, i love them
they are both finding it difficult, but they are both doing things that are very good for them, like educational stuff.
Sia's heart isn’t just "elastic" — it’s also huge. The singer confirmed that she adopted two teenage boys who were about to leave the foster care system because of their ages, as she told SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up in an interview.
Though the singer says she adopted the teenagers in 2019, she's rarely spoken publicly about the experience until now. "I actually adopted two sons last year. They were both 18 — they’re both 19 years old now," she shared. "They were ageing out of the foster care system. Yeah, and I love them."
In 2018, about 17,844 kids aged out of the US foster care system — roughly 7% of the total number of children in the program, according to the most recent data from the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. The institute asserts that many of these foster kids became adults without the ideal emotional and financial support.
