In 1979, He Adopted Nine Baby Girls Nobody Wanted

In 1979, He Adopted Nine Baby Girls Nobody Wanted — and What They Became 46 Years Later Will Leave You Speechless…

When Richard Hayes lost his wife Laura in 1979, his home went silent. Her final words echoed in his heart:
“Promise me, you won’t let love die here. Pass it on.”

One rainy night, he stopped outside St. Catherine’s Orphanage — where nine baby girls had been abandoned together. No one wanted them. When the staff spoke of separating them, Richard said quietly:
“I’ll take them all.”

People called him crazy. He sold everything, worked two jobs, and built nine cribs by hand. He learned to braid hair, to sing lullabies, to be both mother and father.

Years passed. The girls — Grace, Nia, Lila, and their sisters — grew up to become nurses, teachers, and leaders, each carrying a piece of their father’s love.

Now, in 2025, Richard sits surrounded by nine incredible daughters, proof that love truly has no limits.

What they’ve built together after 46 years will take your breath away…
