These two are pure angels on Earth and it looks like they have raised good-hearted children.

[@rosalynjohnson2295]

Agreed

[@roselee1974]

Totally agree

[@RMR1]

Rest in Peace, Becca -- the daughter with the heart condition. She died on Oct. 12, 2018. What a beautiful, kindhearted and generous soul she was. I've tried to raise my daughter right and she's turning into an honest, sensitive and caring 16-year-old. But even if she is just a fraction of the kind of girl Becca seems to have been, I will be overjoyed.

That’s awful, to happen to a young person, my condolences go out to you

[@si_quest]

You know for a fact that those 14 people are tremendous human beings. they will have been raised in tolerance, without discrimination, know how to share and be compassionate towards others.

Yes🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Dyou know that the original saying actually goes: "blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means, the family you choose is stronger than the biological one that was given to you.

[@bupekabamba6017]

I also wanted to straighten this out

[@sitakelemswati]

Well said

[@expertbyexperienceshared9903]

That is so powerful to know thank you so much for detailing that!

[@stfn8826]

The girl with the heart problem has ironically such a big and kind heart. Such a warm and lovable family

[@MrTastyCarp]

She's very cute too

[@GR-cf6ng]

She's not only GORGEOUS but has a lovely personality and attitude towards life! 💜

[@jssanch24]

I kept thinking how sweet she seems. Also, I kept trying to think about whose voice she reminds me of and it reminds me of Miley Cyrus. Their parents did a great job. They all seem kind and thoughtful.

[@Dawarlord34]

I thought the same too. May her days be long and blessed.

[@F-J.]

Two of them have heart problems. All are so wonderful.

[@Quinnsmithhh]

This family has been my family since I’ve been born. My mom met them when I was in the hospital in Phoenix. I love them more than words can express. I think I’m gonna go visit them today. I have a tattoo for Becca who passed not too long ago. I miss her every day. I love these people. They are so genuine and are truly the best people I’ve ever met. Love you Chris and Bob.

[@rlight7666]

Oh wow. I loved your families story and so sorry to hear Becca passed on. She seemed like a good hearted person who beat the odds. Praying peace and comfort for your family.

[@nicovargas7776]

Oh sad Becca passed away? That's depressing.

[@lowercase21]

You have a wonderful family! And im sorry for your loss but she is in a better place in heaven watching over all of you. Just be positive bc she is helping you god bless!!

[@lese91]

I haven't even finished this video but I already know that these parents deserve so much more than a new family room. I can only hope to be 1% as wonderful as these parents someday.

WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS? The moment she said that another family turned down the adoption because she was sick, tears formed in my eyes.

[@TheNocturnalpheonix]

My favorite by far. 😍 As a foster kid that was never adopted, taken in by a family at 18 after i was homeless, ...and resident Oregonian, my heart is awash with love for this incredible family. ❤✊🏼

*FACTS OF LIFE* If you ever wondered what a real super hero looks like, I give you Chris and Bob Atherton.

[@jannethiebaud1493]

There is more love, joy and gratitude in this family than you usually see in most biological families. What a beautiful demonstration of what a family should be like, whether they are biologically related or not. They are as close to being a perfect family as we will ever find. Love them all.

[@teeski693]

What an incredible family.

[@canecorsopuppies1660]

I Waa adopted after my mother had me taken away by CAS . She Was a drug addict and very young. I never seemed to fit well into my adoptive family as they had their own blood daughter a year after adopting me. Just watching this made me want to be a part of this family. Very fortunate

[@JohnSmith-fj5ee]

Someone raised the two parents right. I wish i had the same special values.

[@devils_reject82]

People like this are the reason I still believe in humanity. Few and far in between these days but thank goddess for them

[@kaiyeem]

Wow, the Atherton family is rich with culture and endless love, the mother and father are real life saviors.

[@andibrown7657]

These parents are the definition of LOVE. We all keep bickering and fighting with each other over race, ethnicity, religion or people running away from others who are not 100% healthy. These people completely have shown the true change that needs to happen in this world today. We need more people like this. Caring, non-judgemental, loving, open-minded.... Just absolutely more of what this world needs, especially right now. They definitely deserved this.

This was mindblowing wished the show would also help them redo the Kitchen/ eating area were they spend most of their time. It is a huge gesture when the kids paid for it but I partly believe the show pays the celebs money for it. They deserve a space were the whole family can sit TOGETHER.

I love this, and wish more people would adopt.

[@mikewrasman5103]

Believe me, there is a very great need for foster parents and foster-to-adopt parents. Having been a foster parent to 22 kids, there are too many kids in foster care and not enough getting adopted.
