A family welcomed home their 'miracle' triplets in time for Christmas - just four months after the birth of their daughter.
Zac and Brittany Wolfe struggled for years to conceive, but will now be spending their first Christmas as parents - to four children in total, following the birth of triplets Noa, Knox, and Navie Wolfe of St. Mary's, Pennsylvania. The triplets pent over 50 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before finally being brought home this week, joining their elder sister, Charlie, who was born three months earlier in July.
"Charlie finally got to meet her sisters and brother after 46 days in the NICU," Zac Wolfe stated on "Good Morning America." "Having four infants under four months old might be difficult, but we can do it. We get a lot of assistance and have a fantastic support network", the happy father added.

Triplets Noa, Knox, and Navie Wolfe of St. Mary's, Pennsylvania (The Wolfe Pack)The Wolfes, who battled infertility for a long time and had several rounds of unsuccessful intrauterine insemination(IUI) and in-vitro fertilization(IVF) treatments, are relieved to see their home filled with healthy children. The Wolfes claimed that medical professionals said they had "unexplained infertility," which denotes that examinations did not reveal a clear reason for their reproductive issues.

The parents pursued adoption as a means of ending their infertility, seeking to adopt both embryos and children. Through embryo adoption, a person can select a donated embryo and go on to get pregnant on their own. Those who have frozen, unused embryos left over after IVF treatments are the embryo donors.
Within a few months, the Wolfes experienced two instances of success following numerous false hopes for adoption and one unsuccessful effort at adopting embryos. The Wolfes received an unexpected call earlier this year from a neighbour inquiring as to whether they were still interested in adopting a kid. After the couple said yes, a pregnant woman who was interested in adoption was introduced to them.
The Wolfes received an unexpected call earlier this year from a neighbour inquiring as to whether they were still interested in adopting a child (The Wolfe Pack)"We met with her and she asked us if we would adopt her baby," Brittney told GMA. "So, we were there from about the middle of her pregnancy. I was with her at her 20-week ultrasound when we found out it was a girl. I was there through all of her appointments."
In case one of their alternatives didn't work out, the Wolfes also made the decision to pursue an other round of embryo adoption at the same time.
"We knew both of them may not work. It's a 50-50 chance," Brittany said. "So we went for it." The Wolfes learned that their second embryo transfer, which they underwent in April in Tennessee, had resulted in a pregnancy. The couple claimed to have been informed that there was a less than 1% possibility that the three embryos they had transplanted would result in triplets owing to the quality of the individual embryos.
