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

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.

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.

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.

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.

"red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world." We were raised on that song in North America and many of us believe it's true. Race is a myth. "from ONE man He made all the nations of the earth."

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.

@rudeminnesotan 4 года назад

Her "blood is thicker than water comment." If she knew the entire phrase, "Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb". The real phrase actually means EXACTLY what she means it to be, instead of the 'modern meaning' of the phrase. Kind of ridiculous how time changes things. But i totally agree. Chosen family is much more than blood family.
