Heroic Police Officer Adopts Three Children After Tragedy

Nikki Cameron

After being the first to respond to the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting, Officer Adam Gruler realized how precious and fragile life is. Then this police officer adopted three children into his family. For a long time, Adam and his wife Jaimi were trying to adopt a little girl into their family.  They have a house filled with six boys, so a little girl would bring balance to their home. So, they did all they could to adopt a child. They signed up for classes, completed the necessary background checks, and home visits. But they were not getting anywhere with their progress.

With dealing with the frustration from things not progressing and on top of the trauma from the night of the shooting, the couple decided to take a break from looking for a child to adopt. Their break gave Adam the time he needed to recuperate, and it also gave an adoption recruiter time to find children for them. And that is when things began to look up for them.

The children were two 6-year-old twin girls named Stephanie and Rachel and an 8-year-old boy named Jonathan. Coincidentally, the three children lived in a foster home less than a mile away from where the Gruler’s lived.
