Popular Kenyan musician Kevin Kioko, known as Bahati, and his wife Diana Marua have reunited with two girls from a children’s home whom Bahati had once hoped to adopt alongside their son, Morgan.

Unfortunately, despite his deep desire to adopt them, legal limitations prevented him from doing so.

He explained that adopting girls came with additional legal requirements, which he couldn't meet at the time due to his age and circumstances.

"When I started fathering Morgan I took him with tow other girls Rose and Purity... At that time I was still young legally. I was also struggling , hustling and trying to make ends meet. Legally, I did not fit in the criteria for adopting the kids and especially when they are girls," Bahati revealed.

Bahati, who grew up in a children's home himself, shared how painful it was to make the decision to return the girls to the orphanage.

"I really wanted to give back to the home that made me and the only thing I thought was going back there and give a child a life. But at one point I had to make the hardest decision of my life...

"This one hurt me the most. I was a tricky situation. I am not guarded by law as as much as I wanted to help them, there was no way I could live with these two girls in my house. In a very painful decision, I chose to stay with Morgana and returned the two girls to the children's home," he said.

Although Bahati could not adopt the girls, he did not forget them. He continued supporting them in any way he could over the years. However, this reunion marked the first time they had come together as a family in many years.

"Ever since, I have been supporting where I can but we have never come together to just know how they are doing. Today Rose and Purity have visited us and I know they have gone through a tough life and we will tell you more... I am so proud of this moment," Bahati said with pride.
