Families gathered around the dinner table to give thanks today. One Springfield family is just grateful to have all the kids in one house.

When our families get together, it's hard not to notice what defines them: single, married, blended, adopted. You could say this family is all of the above.

Celebrating Turkey Day and a birthday, a dual holiday for kids who have two moms and two dads.

"It's kind of cool," daughter Mikala B'Williams says. "On Thanksgiving there's more people. And my dad, his birthday's today."

B'Williams is a combination of her old last name, and the new one.

Tiffany Brewster is the biological mom.

"They call me Tiffany and that's fine," Tiffany says. "Frank and Kristine are their mom and dad as far as I'm concerned."

"This is our family. Our biological children," Kristine Williams says while pointing at a family photograph.

Kristine and Frank Williams had an empty nest after raising four kids.

"They're all grown and all married," Kristine says.

Around the same time, Tiffany's drug addiction forced the state to place her kids in foster care.

"I knew that I couldn't take care of them the way they needed to be taken care of," Tiffany says.

"I went to several different homes," Mikala says.

Until they moved to the Williams' home. The five kids could have been separated through adoption.

"It happens to a lot of other people," Tiffany says.

"In my heart I would always hold a place for the other children," Kristine says. "That would be a very, very hard thing."

But Frank and Kristine chose to adopt all of Tiffany's kids and raise them under one roof.

"That was our goal," Kristine says. "Our aim was to keep the children together as a team."

"I could never thank them enough," Tiffany says. "There's nothing that I could do to thank them."

But on the day we give thanks for all we are given.

"For me to be sitting with all of them on Thanksgiving, it's just amazing," Tiffany says.

These smiles prove the children and their parents have a lot to be grateful for.

"I don't think people realize how much children do give back," Kristine says.

Tiffany has an open adoption agreement with the Williams. She says when she was battling her drug addiction, Frank and Kristine sent her pictures and updates on the kids. Now that she's been sober for awhile, she visits on holidays and birthdays, so she's very much a part of their lives.
