Five Unique Sisters (Four Adopted Internationally and Three Disabled)

Francesca was adopted internationally and is diagnosed with Apert syndrome. She is often teased which results in her feeling self-conscious. Now Francesca is learning to love herself with the help of her four sisters, three of whom were also adopted.

THIS MOTHER. She is kinda by default "mother of the year" EVERY year from here on out. She has molded some amazing little humans. Their confidence is clearly a result of her treating them "normally" and her unrestricted encouragement.

Agree!!

There's no mother of the year .. we gotta give the trophy to all the good moms out there! 🥇🏆

[@TerraBerra]

Yes! When the one younger father goes “I don’t let people hurt me” and she co-signed “yea she doesn’t care what people think” I said 👏🏽 yes I’m so glad she has that figured out early in her life!!! Good for them and great they have one another ❤

Are situations improving at the orphanages now? No judgement or condemnation to you, as terrible things happen all over the world. It breaks my heart to hear about things like this happening.

[@clararidings4154]

In some countries. Sadly Ukraine still has pretty awful conditions in orphanages for kids with Disabilities. I don't totally know what the situation is now bc of the war, but I imagine it's worse. :( these kids deserve better

[@taeso0o]

the girl from georgia is a very smart and well spoken young lady! i love her!

[@DrFeelGoood]

shes quite the interesting character, i loved how she spoke! she seems really intelligent

i love how matter of fact she is 😂 you can tell she's the type of girl to tell you what it is and what it ain't real quick!

[@user-py1ql8zh5x]

she is very self aware in her intellect, tho seems a little stiff. It must be difficult to heal from the heartbreaking trauma she has endured but Praise God her mom clearly makes her feel loved and valued and respected.❤🎉 She seems very intuitive also 😊

[@leckerpistazie4136]

I think she also has a great and very dry sense of Humor. When she Said: "I love you guys!... See?" that even made Chris chuckle and also the others in the back.

[@bluefirekin]

Precious beautiful children. How painful it is to hear how ADULTS in their past abused them. I cannot imagine how it must have been for them as babies to live through such a loveless and torturous environment. How could anyone not see the intrinsically beautiful souls in these precious girls? I am so glad they have such an incredible mother, and a beautiful family now.

[@TF.Jodi21]

I know... It makes me sick how evil adults can be abusing kids! As a mother myself, I just don't get it. The love I have for my daughter is unlike anything I've ever felt or thought I could feel. Its a blessing to have such wonderful sweet children like this.

[@wired4933]

Being a mother has nothing to do with blood. I am a mother of many and I have not born a single child. People are just rude, I swear. You guys are an amazing and smart and loving family and you should be proud of that. There are not many out there like you. Many much love from here to you all! I hope you all have a wonderful life and all the good things in the world

[@Raven-pr6vd]

Then you are not a mother.

[@noahapollo]

@@Raven-pr6vd That just tells everyone that you haven't got a good relationship with your own parents/children.

[@nattance1]

Raven, it takes more than labor pains to make a mother. What a hateful comment.

[@longtabsigo]

Mom, I stand in awe, you have gone out to back roads to find the neediest of children and opened you home, and far more importantly, your heart. The world is a far better place with these kids as active participants. While the focus is, rightly, on the girls; your role must not be taken lightly. You an impressive woman, if you are even in NC, I’d like buy you lunch!

Scheherezade is so smart! All 5 girls are wonderful people

[@MrDuneedon]

Can we talk about how amazing this mom is?

[@johannahunderwood4596]

What a lovely family! Mum must be so proud of her daughters, and it’s plain to see that they all love each other. International adoption is expensive and fraught with worry, delay and disappointment, so props to Mum for persevering with it it four times. These girls are thriving under her care. However, it is sad to think of the ones who are left behind in these orphanages where they receive only the minimum amount of contact and care.

[@rae7864]

I was just thinking that.. Breaks my heart thinking of all the babies and children just being tortured and mistreated, no affection, no love... So sad.

[@laurenferrell6013]

When Victoria stood up I lost it! What a BRAVE and TENACIOUS girl. Man. She is one of a kind is SO many ways!!!

[@CarmenCastille]

She is a tough smart hard worker just amazing😮🎉😊❤

[@DrFeelGoood]

I'm seriously IN LOVE with all of their personalities and the way they work off of one another. Every single family member is so unique and sweet and ahh i would love to know them in real life.

[@tigerlily0988]

I had scoliosis, pretty severely, and if I hadn’t eventually gotten surgery for it I would have died because my spine would have really affected my organ function. I had to wear a back brace every day for over six years and was bullied relentlessly for it. So I really related to Victoria’s discussion about her brace and how uncomfortable it is…. I wish I had her strength when I was young to not care what people said about me. It was tough.

[@emmaedelmann3027]

I have scoliosis but not severe

My son has just turned 12 and has cerebral palsy and scoliosis. His back has just started hurting him and I'm expecting that he will have to have a fusion at some point. How was it for you? And what age did you have it? ❤

[@andrewc.2952]

One of the absolute best bosses I've ever had in my life has Aperts. He's got these amazing blue eyes and blond hair. He was like my work dad. I was so bummed when he left for another job. I must say, Francesca reminds me of Dakota Fanning when she was little. She's got such a maturity about her. I'm sure she could think circles around most adults. But what a beautiful family and I'm so jealous.

[@iwatchtrashtv213]

It must be hard being a parent and seeing your child cry because other kids are mean to them 🥺 I've said it years ago they need to show SBSK in grade school staring in Kindergarten so kids can see that there are different kids in this world.

[@larissalewis5591]

I am very disappointed in the parents of the kids that not only did not stop the rude and callus reaction to this sweet child, but they also contributed to the scarring and painful experience of rejection and judgment based on first sight, and made no attempts to get to know her. Shameful honestly. But this mother is an absolute angel on earth, and these little ones are in a great place.. and if by chance she sees this. Your amazing mama, and bless your heart, soul and family,, ur amazing, strong, and beautiful, inside and out.

[@sarahpcato]

I was born with this skull abnormality also, and I was adopted at 11 months old (when the dr. released me, 4 months after my skull surgery) wayyyy back in 1967. I would luv to be able to get intouch with this wonderful mother and/or her daughter to talk about these things.

[@blindboy9111996]

They are all so wonderful and sweet. The little girl with oranges on her shirt is so smart! I connected with her instantly when she said the most magical thing was music. Truly magical, but also practical. I want to be friends with all of them!

The kindness in this mother is awe inspiring and moving. That little girl from Georgia is so pretty. She seems to be very aware and it is so cute and amazing to hear her passion for teh manta rays, however she seems to need more healing from the terrible trauma she endured. The young girl Victoria is very impressive she is very smart and imaginative and has endured a lot also This was a great video among the most touching amd moving ive seen. I really am amazed at this mother and these beautiful sensitive smart appreciative kids. Very impressive video.

[@rae7864]

International adoption is so rough.. Bless this mama for all shes done, and bless all these amazing young girls.. Cant believe that orphanages treat babies and children the way they do.. Torturing them, hurting them, burning them, starving them, giving them no love or hugs or encouragement.. As a mom myself i just cannot imagine EVER treating ANYONE like this..
