My sister's husband has Moebius syndrome with a very crooked smile, club feet etc. He is in his late 60s and leads a full and active life. He might look different but he is a wonderful man with great warm heart. He can't drive but is mobile and doesn't let his disabilities hold him back. Keep strong mommy!

[@rebeccas2813]

A close friend in high school has Moebius and got smile-surgery almost 10 years ago now, which was pretty successful. From my knowledge the facial paralysis was the only issue he had though. People with Moebius have such unique and beautiful faces, I can only imagine the struggles of going through life with limited ability to express emotions on your face.

[@matthewpettipas8233]

@@rebeccas2813 It's hard, especially when we are small and other kids don't understand what's wrong. But we learn to make up for it with body language and our voices. My mom has always told me she knows when I am happy or sad/angry by my eyes.

She is great honestly. But I really reject the idea some seem to have that young parents can only succeed with the sacrifice of their own parents. Many young parents do not have good parents of their own. I was pregnant young (not quite this young, granted), and had a crappy family. My husband and I, and our kids, are doing very well now because of our own hard work.

[@nickyceresney1045]

Wow! I'm blown away by the way all the women in this "family", including little sister and grandmother's bestie, have jumped in with full support of Abby and Riley. This is not at all the story I expected... Was very surprised by Abby's extreme maturity and devotion to wee Riley. This screams out for a follow-up show in 3-5 years. And Mobius Syndrome is kind of obscure so for Abby to manage to research and get confirmation shows her strength and determination to give Riley the very best of life. Good luck at college and can't wait to see the whole family thrive. You are a brilliant and bright girl, Abbey, and have surrounded yourself with supportive friends and Riley's Daddy.

I have a moebius syndrome. Life won’t be easy. People will look at you and they’ll whisper on each other’s ears and and getting you photo taken by people who don’t know you are sometimes the worst. People will think you’re always rolling your eyes at them and that you’re always sad, hence, making friends will be hard. But u know what, you’ll get through it. Many people will love you for who you are. I hope this young man grows up to have friends and family who’ll love him.

No one should be a teenage parent they are statistically the worst group of parents with the highest rate of child abuse and poverty.Sorry I'm more impressed with a teen that busts there azz to get a degree or a job.Not one that just has unprotected sex because they were to immature to use birth. Control.

[@adastra9892]

@@chetyoubetya8565 Im more impressed with a teen that does both. I have meet plenty of adult parents that shouldn't be parents. Not all teen parents are bad parents. Also just because you are a teen parent it doesn't mean you cant become successful. Vanessa Guevara Photography is a very successful company owned by a once teen mom she has a degree, has her own business oh, and she had her daughter at the age of 14/15 so yeah that' super impressive!!!!! Also I come from generations of teen parents whom own homes, land and have great jobs. A degree isn't everything, and today most degrees are just a nightmare of lifetime debt.

This family disserved to find out what was wrong with this little angle and I am so glade she didn't get ride of him when he was in the whom. The doctors were not 100% right about what he would have wrong and if she didn't keep him then the docs would have given the wrong advice. That's why I respect women who decided to keep there babies no matter what the doctors say and a lot of the times. The babies come out and they fight for there lives and they are wonderful angles. This kid is a angle who brought more to this family then they know. He is as strong as his mom and grandmother. This story made me cry. But this teen is the strongest, smartest, most caring and loving teen I have seen in a long time. I hope they do another video to let us know how they made out with this little angle. He is so adorable and I want to say to the mother and father. Thank you for sharing your story. This could help save the lives of other babies. The baby you guys have is an angle from god and you are the strongest parents I have ever met. And I wish you guys a life time of happiness and joy. And god bless you, your family, and your son.

I'm never supportive of teen pregnancy since it often leeds to more problems than good, but she is doing a better job than most adults would have done. Being so strong, fighting for her child and her own future, not many of us could have done it.

[@LoriFahy]

yup, and the stigma for teen mums continues. I have heard pretty much every stigma and negative comment there is being a teen mum myself. I am now a mum of adult children, and they are very intelligent , successful strong people. So to say it often leads to more problems is absolute rubbish.

[@happyhorse1028]

Purnima Gurung I am against teenage pregnancy because the teenage mums miss out on so much. Being a teenager should be a carefree and fun time. No one should have to deal with so much responsibility at such a young age.

[@happyhorse1028]

TheLoriFiles do you ever feel like you missed out on being a regular teenager? No judgment or disrespect intended.

[@LoriFahy]

@@happyhorse1028 I have often been asked that, and to be honest i dont feel as though I have missed out, my life was just different to most people my age. I did end up marrying the father when i turned 21, and we are still together today which I think in itself is something not that common. I managed a nursing degree as well. I dont think i missed out, I feel more that I was blessed to have her. :)

[@happyhorse1028]

TheLoriFiles congratulations on having a successful relationship and getting qualifications. I think your daughter is lucky to have you. All the best to you and your family.

[@dramamama2856]

What an amazing team they all are together! Even the dad! Nothing but respect and best wishes to this family.

[@aimeeoldham8330]

I've got to commend this momma, so young but so mature. I'm blown away with strength and determination to graduate from school, not pawning her baby off on her mom. Putting her baby's needs above her own...wow! Good on ya momma!

[@gothrockfairy]

When Riley is older I hope he can look back and watch this realizing what a super mom he has.

[@MegaBpop]

Well I got teary eyed when Abby got the diagnosis Abby you are an awesome mom. You perseverance is paying off. You have so maturity to teach other moms. I pray you & your entire family continue to prosper. Family unity is a blessing, what a wonderful grandmother, auntie and Riley’s dad too.

[@marys2382]

What an awesome mom! I was already a single mom of a 14 y/o and 37 y/o before I had twins with disabilities. I already had my college degree, but not enough family and friends supporting me. I feel like this young mom is stronger, esp with her wonderful support people and partner. She should really be proud. Keep going at it!

[@phanzy78]

"I feel like I'm going to be worrying forever now." Yeah, that's exactly how it works no matter what kind of child you have.

[@IamPINKIEDaniels]

Not really though, while my friend who has a son with downs syndrome and will literally stress about him and worry about him and CARE for him forever my 3 kids left home, got jobs, got married, had their own kids and i NEVER worry about them at all. My friend will never get that luxury. 💕💕💕💕

[@autumnbottoms5743]

I am PINKIE Daniels THANK YOU!!! 👏👏🌷💚⚘ Some most definitely MORE than others esspecially when they are born with an illness that changes your babies life and yours forever and it feels like no one else understands. They have no clue! 😩🔊👏💪

[@mimi-xx]

its disingenuous to act like parenthood means facing the specific issue she was, with a child with an (at that point) undiagnosed physical health issue, not knowing if he was even safe. you cant compare the two and you know it.

[@marcelah3016]

Regardless of how young she's an incredible mom and I admire her wisdom

[@nanamjbri]

She’s an awesome young mom that loves her son no matter what he has .... that’s amazing and still finishing school on top of all the stresses she going through .... she very Blessed to have her son and he’s very Blessed to have her as his mom .... God Bless you both and may God watch over you both at all times 🙏🏼

[@tashabrinkworth3995]

I had my first at 20 and this young woman is coping better than i did she is one of the best mums i have ever seen i wish your family the best and i hope the baby gets the answers he needs

[@GirlWhoLovesStrangerThings]

I’m proud by how strong she is and the father of the baby is still with him. She’s doing a brilliant job of juggling being a mum studying for her GCSES.

[@paigerichards3121]

I had my baby at her age and I can’t believe how mature and strong she is being. I can’t even imagine it. Her son is going to be so proud of her ❤️

[@47Ronin15]

The amount of these i have watched, i am so proud of her and i don't even know her. Massive well done to her Mother and Sister.

[@spiritliberty9113]

I just want to hug this girl and tell her how proud I am of her!! I'm so glad that she's got the support of her mom. What an inspirational young woman!!

[@LeahDiederich]

I just wanna grab this girl and give her a hug. I was 19 when I had my son

[@SobrietyandSolace]

My mother had me at 19. She did everything right in the sense she worked extremely hard to put food on the table, was extremely invested in my education and never left me with a babysitter; the only problem was that my father and the rest of the family I was left with were absolute fucks and she was too young to recognise how messed up, traumatising and abusive the environment was until we were all nearly murdered on more than one occasion, my brother got into gang crime and I was in and out of hospital with physical and mental health issues. Thankfully this young lady's family and boyfriend seem very loving and supportive. I seriously hope the young lad is as good an egg as he seems to be so far. I'm especially impressed given Riley's condition- many fathers many years his junior would have checked out.

[@rebajohnson8035]

I just want to give that beautiful young mom a hug!! So strong, loving and a great mom. I think that's been a part of his amazing progress!!!

[@Daniellehtds2]

[@danielle4971]

[@laurenwestwood7289]

[@schwarzkopfschaf5599]

Moebius was an AWESOmE artist and genius and this smoll bean is also pure gold! Shes a super mom, and shes so strong! All my respect for her 👍💫

[@KDu400]

What a precious boy ❤️ every life is special and I commend your decision and your devotion to your little fella. You are so young and being a mommy is so hard!

[@kashq502]

I can see how proud this grandmother is of her daughter for doing what she needs and taking on the responsibility of being a young mother. A teenage pregnancy is seen as a catastrophe, but this family is turning it into a blessing and a motivation to have a good life and work hard for it! So nice to see! God knows what he is doing when he chooses which child ends up with which mommy!
