'The greatest gift': Rachel Kolisi reflects on her family's heartwarming adoption journey
Siya Kolisi celebrates with Rachel and her family after defeating New Zealand during the Rugby World Cup France 2023 Gold Final match between New Zealand and South Africa.
Rachel and Springbok star Siya Kolisi are one of South Africa's favourite couples. While Siya's prowess on the rugby field first impressed us, his wholesome marriage to the fitness enthusiast and businesswoman Rachel has won many hearts."It was scary. I asked her to lunch, and that's when I told her. She played hard to get in the beginning but eventually admitted it as well. The rest is history.
When Nic—as the family fondly calls him—was three months old, Rachel and Siya made the undoubtedly difficult decision to adopt Siya's two siblings, Liyema and Liphelo, who became orphaned after their mother's untimely passing in 2009.A few days ago, Rachel headed to Instagram to reflect on the past ten years with Siya's siblings.
She wrote:"While celebrating Liphelo's birthday last week and having all 4 kids home for the weekend, we reflected on the fact that almost to the day, 10 years ago, Liphelo and Liyema came to spend a week with us in Cape Town to see that they were comfortable to make the move and come stay with us forever.
