G-R-A-C-E: The Healthiest Quins Ever Born Come Home (+video)
The first letter of each baby’s name, G-R-A-C-E [Gabby, Riley, Addison, Cooper, and Emerson], spells out a word with deep meaning to the Ferraro’s, who are of profound faith: “Just to communicate that we want them to be full of grace,” John Ferraro said of the naming process. “We also like the song, ‘Amazing Grace.'”
Add in big sister Gianna, who is 2, and you have “Grace Plus One,” which is the name of the family’s website: graceplusone.com.
The quintuplets were born Sept. 26 at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Ariz. The Ferraros lived in a nearby apartment until the babies – three boys and two girls – were strong enough to take home to Fullerton.
“We’re excited to be home,” Meryl Ferraro said. “This is the first step to help us feel organized.”
The couple had lived in Torrance but thought it best to relocate to Fullerton to be close to their family and spiritual base. The Ferraros attend First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton. John Ferraro was born and raised in the city. Friends from church plan to help with feedings, and all four grandparents likely will be spending lots of time with their new grandchildren.
