Today at one point during class we discussed how social class and the country you're born in, your social and financial conditions has effect on your life. Especially if you're disabled, this has a huge influence on your quality of life. Here are two videos of adoptive families who have offered their children amazing lives with so much possibility, potential and happiness.
I think the Johnstons have a reality show now... For some reason, American television networks are obsessed with people with disabilities nowadays. Well, at least these people are not in circuses... But I feel that they are exposed to the media a bit too much just because they have physical challenges. I know that conjoined twins Brittany and Abigail Hensel have a reality show. Their parents didn't want them to be exposed as much... (I will share that soon, I have the link but I don't want to bombard my blog with so many things that nobody could follow). In any case, these are beautiful stories. I had been thinking about sharing them on my blog for a while.

So on the one hand there are those who think of abortion when their baby/fetus is diagnosed with an impairment. On the other, there are these families who adopt these kids. Still, I wonder how the economic situation of these families is. And of course, the social environment they are in.
