    The fact that the mom can literally raise 12 kids and help other foster kids find homes shows she never stopped caring about these kids in foster care

    Such a beautiful inspiring family. The truest words ever spoken from a child, I call mom , dad, or siblings if I ever need anything, both good or bad. Family is everything. Family is love .dna doesn't make a family, it doesn't make a parent. A parent and family is a choice based on imperfect, unending love , made perfect

    It is difficult to believe people had problems with them being a mixed family. Listen up to all the negative people, "IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." They are one happy family,but because the negative speakers are not,they have to throw in negativity. Astonishing.
    Enjoy your wonderful family,you are Mom of the year
