So awesome:)
I hate the part when the Romanian boy is talking and says he was 1.5yrs old and 9lbs because his family shunned him for being born with a "deformation". Kills me...

I love all their happy faces, such a beautiful family.
I wish the video had been arranged slightly differently though, just because the focus on "rescuing" bothered me a little bit.
These children deserved families and homes all along, and while I'm thrilled that these parents found a way to bring them into their family, they aren't some sort of saints for that. Adoptive parents aren't heroes - they're parents. Parenting is powerful and beautiful in it's own way, but just because someone adopts doesn't mean their parenting is some sort of martyrdom.
Does that make sense? I'm not trying to draw away from what a beautiful thing their family is, in any way. I hope it doesn't sound that way. I find them inspiring and heart-warming. I hope someday my family will look something like theirs.

@Arden: no, I agree. I take issue with adoption as rescue, because we honestly don't know what things would be like otherwise. We can speculate, but we don't know. We just love and continue on as a family, thankful that it is what it is...
That said, this family is beautiful. So very beautiful.
