The children all have special needs and Geraldi and her husband, Mike, have adopted all of them.
In fact, in the last four decades, the couple has adopted 88 children, when all of them were infants.
“The children I took in were expected to die,” Geraldi, 68, told CNN.
The labor of love started in Florida even before Geraldi, a nurse, met her husband Mike, a pediatrician, at a Miami hospital.
Along with huge hearts, they had fortitude — and that sustained them through the years as they coped with the deaths of 32 children.
Through it all, they kept adopting more special needs infants.
The family relies on money raised by the Possible Dream Foundation to cover basic needs and pay two employees that augment a team of volunteers. »
