All right there is an incredible family
that I want to tell you about.
Chris and Christina Sanders are a couple from Cincinnati, Ohio
who have 11 children, 11.
But here's what's amazing.
In the past A-- this past April, they
adopted six of those children after meeting them
in the foster care system.
They're all siblings, and the Sanders
wanted them to be able to stay together as a family.
So they adopted all six at once.
So right now--
I know.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Right now the whole family is on the Warner Brothers Studio
tour.
But what they don't know is they are
about to drive onto this stage.
And they're going to be guests on the show.
So everyone has to be quiet when they start getting close.
There-- that's not them.
We just have a cam-- a random camera just to let--
Here it is.
Here they come.
All right, so as they get closer--
All right, so they're turning, so they're going to be here.
Oh, so we have to be very quiet.
Because they're going to pull into the stage.
So what's also just kind of really exciting about this,
and this is what I love to do as well.
First of all, we'll head in through stage two.
Are you guys fans of the Ellen Show?
Yes.
Awesome.
Ellen's show is cool, bro.
I know.
They finished filming earlier today, which I say is exciting.
Because that actually gives me the opportunity
to give you guys a really behind the scenes look.
Sweet.
Kind of get up close and personal,
which I cannot wait to do for you guys.
It's going to be great.
Man, this is pretty cool.
Yeah, so this is behind the scenes, guys.
This is as behind the scenes as it gets in stage two.
So you know, so a lot of equipment,
you know, we were talking earlier about how many people
it takes to make a show.
Yeah.
And I think this is one of the best examples of that.
Oh my God.
It's great.
Man, That really cool.
You love this show, right?
Man, Ellen is the best.
It's happening here.
Yeah, it's a great, great show.
We're all happy to be here.
So--
[SCREAMING AND SHOUTING]
Come on.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Guys.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Hello.
Oh hello.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
Ellen.
Hi.
Oh my God.
Hi Christina.
Hi.
Oh my goodness.
Hey Chris.
Oh my goodness.
Hi.
How you doing?
All right, good job, John.
All right.
Come on over.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Christina you sit here.
Let's get-- all right.
Every-- somebody else sit back there.
Let me sit right here.
Let's get Chris on the sofa as well.
All right.
I know, everybody wants to be on the sofa.
Nobody's going to give room for mom and dad.
Oh.
All right.
Here's some microphones for you.
Surprise.
Oh, my goodness.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Oh my goodness.
So I was just telling everybody about y'all and then you
accidentally drove on here.
Oh my goodness.
So, oh look, you want to move closer.
Hi.
All right.
So how did you hear about the siblings in the first place
that needed to be fostered?
Oh, my goodness.
OK.
I know.
it's exciting.
There's water by the way, if you want water.
OK, OK, thank you very much.
You know, in the beginning, you know--
We always want to be foster parents, always.
You had four children already of your own.
Five of our own.
Five.
Five of your own.
Absolutely.
All right.
And they-- It's OK baby.
OK, so we, you know, my wife wanted
to be a foster parent early on.
Because she always liked to take care of kids.
She always like to give back and help people.
And so, you know, I just-- you know,
it was just a natural progression for us to foster,
and, you know, just--
OK, excuse me, I'm a little bit--
We got the children.
Yeah, that's all right.
It's OK.
So you fostered.
Yes.
And that was the intention, just to foster.
Just to foster these, and we took the classes in December.
December 3, 2014.
we had an emergency phone call to ask us
did we want to take some kids.
We did.
We just--
We did.
So you took the boys, and then you
didn't realize they had sisters.
We round out right after.
We did not.
They had two sisters.
And we were, like, OK, we're getting them.
We're going to find them.
I found them.
Right.
And I said, from that point on, we were gonna--
Keep'em together.
Keep'em together and we were--
At all costs.
Holiday, birthday, every weekend, we made a commitment.
That's right.
OK so--
[CROWD CHEERING]
All right so, Chris Ju--who's Chris Jr.?
Me.
All right, hi Chris Jr. Here, you take the mic.
Nice to meet you.
OK, nice to meet you, too.
OK, so suddenly you got a whole bunch of brothers and sisters
all at once.
Yeah.
Yes, I did.
And how was that?
At first, it was just, like, wow.
I mean, one thing, my responsibility
definitely went through the roof.
Uh-huh.
I had a lot of way more eyes looking on me.
Uh-huh.
So I had to make a lot of-- a lot of things
had to change we'll just say.
Yeah, yeah, your behavior.
Yes.
You have to be a responsible person.
Yes, I did, I did.
Yes, yeah.
OK, and so who's Caylee?
Where's Caylee?
Hi Caylee.
OK, m tell me what it's like to be a part of this family all
of a sudden?
Because I understand, after six months,
they ju-- you just started calling them mom and dad.
So you were just--
you can't send them back to the faucet.
You're, like, they're calling you mom and dad.
Yeah.
So you're like--
Absolutely.
So, tell me what it's like to be part of this family?
Um, I love it.
I'm happy that they adopted us because not so
many parents would adopt, like, us,
six kids and they didn't know us.
And I'm just happy.
And they're always doing something for us.
And it's amazing.
Every word, every good word, describes them.
And I thank you very much.
Wow.
That's why you do it, right?
Absolutely.
That's why you do it.
All right, so I know that you watch the show.
And I want you to watch the rest of the show.
You have the Skybox to yourselves up there.
All right?
So you're going to head up there and watch the rest of the show.
And, you know what?
I should tell them now.
I might as well them him now.
No, I'll tell you later.
Oh.
Oh te-- tell them now?
Yeah, yeah.
Before you got here, I just sa-- we just
gave the audience tickets to 12 days to come back.
So you're all coming back to our 12-day show.
Sweet.
