<p>Ricky Reyes opened up about how he came to adopt and raise his four children, calling them a blessing from God.</p><p>In an interview with Karen Davila for her YouTube vlog, he said, &quot;There is no accident in life. Lahat &#x27;yan ibibigay ng Diyos kung para sa&#x27;yo.&quot;</p><p>He shared that his first son was given to him by a customer in the 1970s.”[Sabi ng customer] &#x27;yung kapatid ko nagpa-anak sa ospital, eh iniwan lang &#x27;yung bata, gusto mo ba? That simple,&quot; he recalled.</p><p>His second child is his niece, whom he raised after his sister moved abroad. &quot;&#x27;Yung sister ko naman nag-asawa siya, naghiwalay sila, nag-America siya, naiwanan niya anak niya. Ako na nagpalaki,&quot; he shared.</p><p>His third and fourth children, siblings, were given to him by their mother. &quot;Pareho naman silang magkapatid, they we&#x27;re given to me. Isang sanggol, isang three years old. I came to meet the mother and I told her wherever you will go, please tell me where you are because we don&#x27;t know what will happen in this world. Baka paglaki ng mga bata, mayaman ka na, tapos wala na ako, mabuti may tatakbuhan sila. [Pero] nawala na, nawala na lang ng parang bula,&quot; he shared.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/LSehJC0tMCM?si=XjyCapKPoAVpUru5"><iframe width="681" height="383" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LSehJC0tMCM" title="KAKAIBANG INA: Ricky Reyes’  Life With 4 Adopted Children! | Karen Davila Ep205" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></a></div><div></div><div><br/></div><p>Despite the unconventional family setup, Ricky shared that his children never questioned their situation growing up. &quot;Ang mga bata sa akin, maski &#x27;yung dalawang anak ko na una, lumaki sila sa mundo, [they] never asked a question. We never talked about that,&quot; he relayed.</p><p>&quot;You know why? Because in my house, it is full of love. I only believe that an adopted kid or a foster kid na tatangapin mo, maghahanap lang &#x27;yan, magloloko lang &#x27;yan, &#x27;pag hindi na nakikita &#x27;yung pagmamahal sa loob ng bahay. But if the life is sufficient sa loob ng pamamahay, wala silang hahanapin.&quot;</p><p>He went on: &quot;Lumaki sila sa mundo, not even a single quarrel they have witnessed in our house. Wala silang nakitang nagtataas ng boses, mataas ang boses, wala &#x27;yun.&quot;</p><p>When asked if raising his four children is his greatest achievement, Ricky responded: &quot;I think so. I have made four beautiful kids na marunong matakot sa Diyos.&quot;</p><div></div>
