NASCAR’s Joey Logano and His Wife, Brittany, Adopted the Two Foster Children They Had Been Caring For, Growing Their Family to Five Kids

NASCAR driver Joey Logano and his wife, Brittany, have officially adopted the two foster children they had been caring for since spring. The adoption brings the North Carolina family to five kids: the couple’s three biological children and the two children they welcomed through foster care earlier this year.

The couple shared the news on October 22, 2026, after the adoption was finalized at the courthouse in Haywood County, North Carolina.

“Day One of Forever” at the Haywood County Courthouse

Brittany Logano marked the moment with a short, emotional message. “After many days of limbo and uncertainty, today is day one of forever,” she wrote, according to Heavy’s report on the family announcement, which noted the news was shared in an Instagram video of the adoption ceremony.

Joey Logano, a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, almost did not make it home in time. In an interview with NASCAR broadcaster Kaitlyn Vincie, Brittany explained that he had flown to Las Vegas for a sponsor appearance and got home around 4 a.m. on adoption day. He woke up around 7:30, and the family headed to the Haywood County courthouse, Heavy reported in its look at Brittany’s adoption journey.

She said he gave a beautiful speech in the courtroom and was fully present for the occasion.

How the Logano Family Grew to Five Kids

The Loganos already had three children, Hudson, Jameson and Emilia, before they began fostering. The couple has kept the names and ages of the two adopted children private.

The road to adoption started with a foster care license. In late May, Joey Logano shared on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that two children had come into the family’s home through foster care, Oval Insider reported in June. He was honest about the adjustment. “Is it harder? Yeah. Is it worth it? Absolutely,” he said at the time.

He also said his biological children had adjusted well, sharing a room and pitching in with chores around the house.

According to EssentiallySports, the couple received their foster care certification in May 2026, and two children were placed with them soon after. The family, which lives in Concord, North Carolina, grew from five members to seven.

A Calling Rooted in Brittany Logano’s Own Family

Foster care was not a new idea for Brittany Logano. Her mother spent time in foster care, and some of her cousins were in foster care before being adopted.

She said the couple talked about fostering for a long time and said no for years. NASCAR’s long season keeps Joey on the road from February to November, which made the idea feel out of reach. Eventually, they decided to get licensed and take it one step at a time, describing the pull toward fostering as a big calling.

Joey Logano echoed that idea in a recent interview. Speaking about the family’s early doubts, including a busy schedule and three young kids, he said, “But being too hard is never a good enough reason to not do something,” in a Heavy interview ahead of Talladega.

The couple has long supported young people in foster care through the Joey Logano Foundation, which backs programs that help youth build life skills, education and stability.

The Support Behind Black Mountain Home for Children

Brittany Logano was open about one of the biggest lessons fostering taught her: asking for help. She credited family, friends and Black Mountain Home for Children for supporting the family through the process.

Black Mountain Home for Children is a nonprofit based in Black Mountain, North Carolina, that started as an orphanage in 1904. Its foster care team works to match children, from newborns to teens, with families, and it trains and supports foster parents. A leader there once described the work plainly. “Fostering is a ministry and there are days that it can be hard,” Loretta Shelton, the organization’s vice president of development and community relations, told The Paper.

What Becoming a Foster Parent Takes in North Carolina

Every licensed foster family in North Carolina goes through a set process. Under the state’s foster care licensing steps, prospective parents watch an orientation video, choose a local Department of Social Services office or a private agency, and complete 30 hours of training.

Families then go through a home assessment and submit an application that includes medical information, criminal background checks and a fire inspection. Licenses must be renewed every two years.

For the Loganos, those steps led to a courthouse in Haywood County and two children who are now permanently part of the family. Brittany’s advice from the experience is simple: be willing to ask for help.
