who are the debolts and where did they get all these kids?

this movie is my new top pick of the year. filmed in the 70's, "who are the debolts (and where did they get 19 kids)?" is a must-see.

not only did their story redefine my meaning of family, courage and love but it completely undid me. my heart for adopting kids grew exponentially.

with tears rolling down my face, i watched--just one of many examples--as their son JR (blind and paralyzed from the waist down) climbed the stairs for the first time on his own.

the humor, insight, playfulness and teamwork of this family is nothing short of miraculous.
