Big happy family: The seven siblings and Noah pose for a picture
The siblings were placed in the foster care system after their mother abandoned them about four years ago.
They have been living the the Clarks since August last year.
The Clarks have grown from a family of three to a family of 10
In an interview, Joshua and Jessaka said they have always wanted a big family. Jessaka also said she came from a family that also took in foster children.
When they heard about the seven siblings, they decided to take them in. Jessaka said: "My eyes probably got as big as his and we both said the same thing: 'We need to pray about this.' We prayed that night and didn't sleep well because God told us that these were the kids for us."

The siblings have one more sister under the age of two but the Clarks will need to get a bigger house to take her in as per local laws.
The kids are happy together
