"My Flesh and Blood" (2003) UR

This documentary tracks a year in the life of Susan Tom, a courageous California woman who has adopted 11 "special needs" children, including a girl born without legs, a girl badly disfigured from burns, a boy afflicted with a deadly skin ailment and a troubled boy with cystic fibrosis. The film captures many happy times such as school dances and summer vacations, but also depicts heartbreaking events such as hospital visits and a death.

This film was very interesting to watch the strength and love which this woman has for all these special needs children and the tremendous amount of time it takes to care for each one's individual needs.
