BREAKING: Braydon Fisher and Wife Surprise Adopt 10 Orphans – “We Can’t Turn Away When They Need Families”
In a heartwarming announcement that has captured widespread attention, country music star Braydon Fisher and his wife, Lauren Fisher, have legally adopted ten orphaned children from three different countries in a single, surprise proceeding.
The couple finalized the adoptions on December 27, 2025, at a private family court hearing in Nashville, Tennessee, bringing their total number of children to thirteen almost overnight.
The 34-year-old singer, best known for chart-topping hits like “Small Town Saturday Night” and “Boots on the Porch,” revealed the news exclusively through an emotional Instagram post late Saturday evening.
Alongside a candid photo of the new family gathered in their living room, Braydon wrote, “We’ve been praying about this for years. These ten beautiful kids lost everything and everyone. We can’t turn away when they need families. Meet the newest Fishers—our hearts just grew by ten sizes.”
The children, ranging in age from 18 months to 14 years, include six siblings from Ukraine who were displaced after losing both parents in the ongoing conflict, three brothers from Guatemala whose orphanage closed due to funding shortages, and a 9-year-old girl from South Africa who had been in foster care since infancy.
Court documents confirm the Fishers began the international adoption process more than two years ago, working quietly with three separate agencies while keeping the plans private from even close friends.
Lauren Fisher, a former elementary school teacher who stepped away from the classroom after marrying Braydon in 2018, told reporters outside the courthouse, “People keep asking how we’ll manage thirteen kids. Honestly, we don’t know yet, but love multiplies.
We already had three little ones at home, and every night we prayed for the children still waiting. When the agencies called and said these groups could be adopted together—keeping siblings intact—we knew God was answering.”
The couple’s existing family includes their biological daughter Harper (6), adopted son Levi (4) from Tennessee foster care, and daughter Everly (2).
Friends say the Fishers have spent the past year renovating their 200-acre ranch outside Nashville, adding a second wing with six new bedrooms, a large playroom, and a homeschool classroom to accommodate the growing family.
News of the mass adoption spread quickly across social media, with the hashtag #FisherFamilyOf13 trending within hours. Fans flooded the comments with messages of support. “This is what real country living looks like—big hearts and open doors,” one follower wrote.
Another added, “Braydon sings about family values, and now he’s living them louder than any song.”
The adoption comes at a pivotal moment in Braydon’s career. His latest album, Homegrown, debuted at number one on the Billboard Country charts just last month, and he is scheduled to kick off a 40-city arena tour in February.
When asked whether the new family dynamic would affect the tour, Braydon laughed and said, “The kids are coming with us. We’ve got three tour buses now—one for the band, one for the crew, and one big one we’re calling the Fisher Family Express.
Lauren and I want them to see the country and know they belong everywhere we go.”
Child welfare advocates have praised the Fishers’ decision to keep large sibling groups together, a rarity in international adoption. Dr. Emily Chen, executive director of Global Family Alliance, one of the agencies involved, explained, “Siblings who have already lost so much often face separation in the system.
The Fishers insisted on adopting each group as a unit. That kind of commitment changes trajectories for life.”
The couple has also established the Fisher Family Foundation, announcing an initial $500,000 donation to support orphan care in Ukraine, Guatemala, and South Africa. They plan to match fan contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million through the end of January. “We’re beyond blessed,” Lauren said.
“If sharing our story helps even one more child find a forever home, it’s worth it.”
Inside the Fisher home, the transition is already underway. Neighbors report seeing moving trucks delivering bunk beds, toy chests, and mountains of new clothes over the holiday weekend.
The children, who arrived in Nashville in small groups throughout December, spent Christmas Day opening presents under a towering tree decorated with thirteen new stockings—each embroidered with a name.
Fourteen-year-old Anastasia, the eldest of the Ukrainian siblings, spoke briefly to reporters through a translator. “We were scared no one would want all six of us. Then Miss Lauren hugged us and said, ‘You’re home now.’ I still cry when I say it, but happy crying.”
Braydon, visibly moved, wrapped an arm around his wife as the children played nearby. “People think celebrities live some glamorous life,” he said. “But real joy? It’s bedtime stories in six different languages, midnight bottles, and knowing thirteen little hearts are safe. That’s the dream we never knew we had.”
The family plans to spend the next month bonding privately before Braydon returns to the stage. Lauren teased that fans might hear new music inspired by the experience. “He’s already written three songs about these kids,” she smiled.
“One’s called ‘Ten More Reasons.’ Get ready—the next album is going to hit different.”
As 2025 draws to a close, the Fishers’ story serves as a powerful reminder of compassion in action. In a world often divided, one family’s quiet yes has given ten children the priceless gift of belonging—and inspired countless others to consider opening their own doors.
The Fisher family asks for privacy during this transition but welcomes messages of encouragement through their foundation website. For anyone moved to help children still waiting, they suggest visiting fisherfamilyfoundation.org to learn more.
What began as a secret prayer has become a nationwide celebration of love without limits. Braydon and Lauren Fisher didn’t just add to their family—they multiplied hope, ten times over.
