Yeah for the 26-year-old daughter who is stepping forward to raise her adopted siblings, following the murder of her parents in Florida. Whether or not her step father had shady dealings, doesn't change the fact that he embraced 13 children with autism or downs syndrome as his own. The fact that the daughter has agreed to follow in their footsteps says a lot about their success as parents and role models.
Clearly she learned that children who have disablilties like autism and downs syndrome have much to offer in terms of love, laughter and family.

Girls have an uncanny talent for knowing which button to press to turn their well behaved mothers into ferocious bears defending their wild cubs. When your daughter tells you that something terrible has happened to her -- assume she is telling the truth from her perspective. Chances are, another little girl is telling her mother the exact same story about your child. The truth is theirs to tell and ours to decode.
