TV Insider reported that Jenny took to her Instagram account on July 8 to share details about adopting her daughter 11 years ago. featured a picture and video of Jenny and her husband, Dave Marrs, meeting their daughter.
In the caption of the post, Jenny wrote she doesn't know much about Sylvie's "earliest, most formative years" in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where she was born.
"Yet, what I DO know is on this day, 11 years ago, I bore witness to a miracle. An honest to goodness God-sized, Red-Sea-parting kind of miracle," wrote the Fixer to Fabulous star.
According to Jenny, she and her husband had difficulty adopting Sylvie.
"602 days of waiting, 602 days of praying and pleading and calling Congressmen and Senators and flying over the sea to beg the US Embassy to help. Emails and letters and phone calls with no traction toward getting her home left us depleted," read a portion of the caption. "Make no mistake - a battle took place to bring our daughter home. The exhale that took place when she was placed back into my arms on US soil was echoed in heaven. The spiritual battle that I couldn’t see during those long days and nights was finally over."
Jenny also expressed gratitude for Sylvie in the post's caption.
"I post this photo every year on this day to remember. I never want to forget the way the Lord fought on our behalf. The things He has in store for Sylvie must certainly leave the enemy shaking in fear or else he wouldn’t have worked so tirelessly to keep her from us," continued the mother of five. It’s hard to believe eleven years have passed since this day when our family was finally under the same roof. HAPPY FAMILY DAY, SYLVIE-LOO!! You are deeply loved and wanted and cherished. We are the lucky ones, my girl. ?"
Jenny ended her caption by sharing her condolences for the families of the Texas flooding victims, specifically the Camp Mystic campers.
"As I post this, this year, I do so through tears. I know how desperately I wanted to hold my girl again in those years of waiting and, today, I can only think of the mommas in Texas who will only do so on the other side of Eternity," wrote Jenny. "My heart grieves for them so deeply and I post this with so much love and sensitivity. I hold the joy of this day with the reality of grief earthside. I cling to the promise, 'He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.' (Rev 21:4a NLT)."
While speaking to TV Insider in January 2025, Jenny and Dave opened up about their family life with their children, Sylvia, Nathan, 15, Ben, 15, Charlotte, 12, and Luke, 6. Jenny shared that her older children aren't all that interested in filming for Fixer to Fabulous anymore.
"As the big kids get older, they really shy away more so than ever from the cameras," said Jenny during the interview. "It has been going on for a while now, but really this year they don’t want to have anything to do with cameras, particularly after school and long days. I think you’ll see the big kids not involved anymore. If they want to be part of the show, that’s up to them. We never would push that on them."
In addition, Jenny said she and her husband have made the choice to film less HGTV shows so they can prioritize spending time with their children.
