My Flesh and Blood

I want to give a shout-out to this documentary that Nate and I watched last night. It is called "My Flesh and Blood."

The documentary follows a woman who has 13 kids who all have varying degrees of handicaps, mental or physical. Most of the kids are adopted. From twins who were born without legs, to an abusive boy that has cystic fibrosis, it was shocking to see how well kids can cope with this sort of adversity.

It was also interesting to watch the mom, how she coped and how it affected her personally.

It isn't the most upbeat of movies, but if you have 80 minutes to spare some day you should check it out. It definitely leaves you with the feeling of not taking what you have forgranted.
