Indianapolis Colts General Manager Chris Ballard and his wife, Kristin, have an inspiring story of adoption that emerged in 2010 when they received a life-changing call. The couple learned that four daughters of a family member had been removed from their home due to severe neglect. Despite the challenges, the Ballards felt called to adopt two of the girls, Sunnie and Rainn.
Chris Ballard has shared that the decision wasn’t easy and required significant adjustments for their family. The process taught them lessons about patience, unconditional love, and sacrifice. Ballard emphasized that the adoption strengthened their marriage and instilled important values in their biological children, as they learned the importance of giving and compassion. He also credited his faith for guiding him and his family through the challenges of foster care and adoption [[❞]](https://www.westernjournal.com/colts-gm-wife-saved-lives-4-children-need/) [[❞]](https://www.colts.com/news/chris-ballard-talks-faith-family-football-20641497).
For the Ballards, adoption became a journey of selflessness and growth, a testament to their belief in giving back and making a lasting difference in the lives of others.
