Dr. Jan Pol is a veterinarian and a television personality. He is well-known for his role as the main character in the show “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” which premiered on Nat Geo Wild in 2011. The show is about Dr. Pol and his team who work at a veterinary clinic in rural Michigan. They take care of all kinds of animals, including cows, pigs, cats, and dogs.
Although Dr. Pol’s professional life is frequently showcased on television, his personal life is rarely discussed. Dr. Pol has been in a committed relationship with one woman, Diane Pol, for his entire life. This shows that long-lasting marriages can still exist, even in a time when relationships often crumble easily.
Throughout their years together, the couple also raised three children under the same roof: Diane Pol Jr., Kathy Pol, and Charles Pol. Dr. Pol and Diane Pol are not the biological parents of any of the three individuals. This article will provide you with all the information you need to know about Dr. Pol’s children.
Dr Pol’s children
All three of Dr. Pol’s children were adopted by him. Dr. Pol and his wife, Diane Pol (formerly Dalrymple), met when he was a foreign exchange student at Maryville High School in 1961. They decided to pursue adoption as a way to become parents.
The couple has been married for more than fifty years. They got married in 1967 and adopted their first child after six years of marriage. This suggests that they may have realized early on that they might not be able to have children biologically.
It is known that Dr. Pol and his wife adopted their first child, a daughter named Kathleen “Kathy” Pol-Butch, in 1973. In 1979, after a gap of six years, they decided to take the plunge once more. They decided to adopt a son, and they named him Charles Pol. The first two children were adopted at birth, but the adoption of Dr. Pol’s oldest daughter, Diane Pol Jr., is a bit more unique. Her adoption was completed when she was already a teenager.
However, Dr. Pol and his wife have demonstrated that despite their children being adopted, they love them just as much as if they were their biological children. Dr. Pol’s children have all grown up, and two of them have even started their own families. We think it’s worth looking into the lives of Dr. Pol’s children, starting with the first child they adopted.
