- Synopsis:
Who says you can't choose your family? "I think when I found that I could survive raising four kids, that it wasn't that far of a leap to add another one", says Susan Tom of Fairfield, California, who has done more than just that, adopting 11 special needs children. For a single mother who receives only limited help from the state, Susan faces the seemingly impossible task of caring for her brood, somehow managing to give them love, hope and as close to a normal childhood as possible. But limits are tested when her angry teenage son threatens to harm one of his siblings. And after another child's condition becomes erratic, Susan must struggle to keep her family united as their battle threaten to tear them apart. - Actors:
