Family in Brookfield adopts 20th foster child

Dan and Lori O'Brien are adopting their 20th foster child on Thursday afternoon. They told TMJ4's Sydni Eure that they've been foster parents for 28 years, and now it's time to pass the baton.

Their children range from 10 to 42 years old and say this 20th and final adoption will make their family complete. A total of 26 lives have been forever changed by one couple's unconditional love.

The O'Brien's have three biological children of their own and took in their first foster daughter nearly 30 years ago.

Dan says it wasn't long before they realized there were countless children in Wisconsin that he says had been deemed "unadoptable." The O'Briens felt it was their purpose to step in.

Eight of their kids have autism and many have cognitive disparities.
