Jennifer and her husband have three biological children, and in the last two years have adopted three children from China. Traveling overseas as a Compassion International artist, Jennifer learned that orphans who had medical issues and were above the age of 3 almost never got adopted, which led Jennifer and her family to purposefully choose older children who required medical attention. Noah, Ethan, and Anna (ages 7-11) have found their forever family with the Shaws.
