Adoption, which comes from the heart, is a journey of trust and is an excellent way of forming a family. Instagram star Lauren Akins adopted a daughter from the rural parts of Africa, Uganda.
She came to limelight as a wife of country singer, Thomas Rett. The duo has launched their jewelry line, Lauren Akins X Ladybird in support of Love One International's charitable efforts in Uganda.
Wants To Add Five Kids In Their Family
In an interview with Access on 3 August 2018, the Instagram star's husband, Thomas Rett said that he and Lauren want to add three more kids to their family in the next five years. The couple wants to have a total of five children before Lauren turns into the age of 34. They have been discussing the possibility of growing their family with the goal of five kids in their mind. Thomas also admits that they are open for the adaptation once again.
Lauren and Thomas, who are high school sweethearts, met during sixth grade at Goodpasture Christian in Madison. However, in their late teens, they almost got married to different people. Lauren's father urged Thomas to reveal his feelings to his daughter, and after the American singer confessed his love, the duo started dating.

At that time, the songwriter knew that they existed for each other. The newlywed couple then spent their honeymoon at Oahu, and after returning to the island's north shore in 2015, the American singer cast his wife on the music video, Die a Happy Man.
Lauren and her husband, Thomas decided to grow their family, and they adopted their first daughter, Willa Gray Akins from Uganda on 11 May 2017. Some months after fostering Willa, Lauren knew that she was pregnant. The couple then welcomed their biological daughter, Ada James on 12 August 2017.
The family of four went to hiking in Colorado during late June 2018 with a couple of friends. Lauren posted a series of their travel pictures on 1 July 2018 and said that they had sustained minor injuries. Her husband rolled his ankles, and their friend Tyler slipped 14 times. Also during their hiking, the couple's first daughter Willa fell once. In this way, the family relished their Colorado trip.

The cute little birthday girl donned a pink bedazzled party hat rejoicing the moment of her celebration. Her birthday cake decorated adequately, with her name written on the steep slope. Her cute smile flashed as she showed the no.1 written on her party hat, sitting in the high chair. The younger daughter of the couple savored the perks of her first birthday with her family and friends.
