Since 2012, Cori and Mark Salchert have added to their family of eight biological children by adding nine foster children, five of whom they've adopted.
Cori says it's a way to let children live before they die.
"She likes the party, she likes a little bit of chaos," said Johanna, the fourth oldest of the Salcherts' biological children, who helps take care of the children with terminal illnesses.
"I mentioned that I wanted - if there was a baby that parents just could not stay because of this terminal prognosis, that we wanted them, that we weren't backing off because there wasn't going to be a curative outcome.
We're very human and have all of the emotions that anybody else does and the grief was acute," said Cori.
