“Angels on Earth”: Tennessee Couple Adopts 4th Child with Medical Needs, Inspired by Their Son’s Fight
When Caleb and Ruchala Bone adopted their 2-year-old daughter Isabella last week, it wasn’t just another family milestone — it was a moment of love, healing, and pure selflessness.
Isabella, a brave little girl who underwent open-heart surgery as an infant, officially became the newest member of the Bone family in Tennessee. And here’s the beautiful part — the Bones specifically chose to adopt her because of her heart condition.
The couple knows this road well. Their own son Griffin was born with a similar heart condition, and through that experience, Caleb and Ruchala learned an eye-opening truth: countless children with serious medical needs are lingering in the foster system, waiting for someone willing to take a chance on them.
And the Bones? They didn’t just step up — they opened their hearts and their home. Isabella is now the fourth child with medical challenges that they’ve either adopted or fostered. That kind of commitment doesn’t just come from compassion — it’s built from lived experience, quiet strength, and daily acts of love.
During last week’s adoption ceremony, an official overseeing the process didn’t mince words, calling the couple “angels on earth.” And honestly? That label feels just about right.
In an age where we often look to celebrities for inspiration, it’s families like the Bones who are the real rockstars — giving second chances, healing hearts (literally), and building a family that proves love isn’t afraid of a few scars.
So here’s to Caleb and Ruchala, to Griffin and Isabella, and to every family making room for kids who need more than just a roof — they need hope.
