Parker is now a healthy and happy baby with none of the medical complications that plagued him as a newborn, according to his dads.

Shortly after bringing Parker home to Florida, More and Lach learned that Parker has a half-sister who was also adopted. The family who adopted the 3-year-old girl lives less than 30 miles from More and Lach.

\"We've been in touch and it's as if we've known them forever,\" Lach said of the toddler's adopted family. \"It's really great to know that Parker is able to grow up with his half-sibling.\"
