Sia Shared The First Pic Of Her Adopted Son Che

Sia is opening up even more about becoming a mother and actually shared the first pic of her younger son, Che.

The 44-year-old musician is pictured hugging Che from behind and they both have emoji sunglasses over their faces.

Speaking with InStyle, Sia got candid about her decision to adopt older kids and what went down during their first family dinner together.

“Older children have a really hard time getting adopted, and when I saw him, I said to myself, ‘That’s my son,’” Sia shared with the magazine. “I knew I wanted to help him. By the time I found him, he was 18 and aging out of the foster care system. I told him that I wanted to adopt him, and since he was an adult, he left with me that day.”

While she only planned to adopt one child, she came home with two instead.

“The only thing he asked was if he could also bring his cousin Che, who had lived with him in a group home. I had two spare bedrooms, so I said, ‘Sure!’”

Sia also recalled how both boys had tears in their eyes after their first meal together.

“The day they came home with me, Maddie [Ziegler] was over, and since she’s like my daughter, we all had our first family dinner together. Sitting at the table, my sons said, ‘We’re allowed to use knives here?’ In foster care, they hadn’t been allowed to use a metal knife to eat in years. And they’d never really eaten a vegetable either,” she explained.

“I basically sat them down that day and said, ‘What has happened to you in your life was wrong. It never should’ve happened. But my job now is to protect you, and we’re going to get through everything together.’ Both my boys had tears in their eyes, and from that moment on, I knew it was my duty to be the best mother I could be for them.”
