    As a dual-military couple in the Indiana National Guard, Staff Sgt. Ashley Cook and Sgt. Kelsea Cook have dedicated years of service and training to answer whatever call their state and nation might ask of them. Yet, nothing prepared them for the battle of adoption and the challenges of parenthood.

    In December 2022, Ashley and Kelsea officially adopted their foster son and daughter after surviving the six-month military assignment and a year and a half of fighting for custody.
