Couple Adopts Boy With Same Rare Disease As Their Biological Son

Couple Adopts Boy With Same Rare Disease As Their Biological Son
A boy with a rare genetic disease has found a forever home after he was abandoned as a toddler living in China.

Earlier this year, Monica and Josh Poynter, of Bowling Green, Kentucky, adopted Trey. The 9-year-old has the same rare, genetic disease as their biological son, Tag, 6.

“Tag loves having a brother and Monica and I love having another son,” Josh Poynter told “Good Morning America.” “It’s hard to put into words what he’s meant to this family.”

Both Trey and Tag have severe hemophilia Type A. The disease causes sudden or prolonged bleeding and both boys require lifelong treatment.

Tag was diagnosed when he was two days old after spending time in the neonatal intensive care unit. Monica Poynter said she is unaware of any family history of hemophilia Type A.
