Most amazing documentary on HBO: "My Flesh & Blood"

[LynneSin]

I watched this yesterday and this documentary just amazed me and moved me to tears. This is a story about Susan Tom who adopted like 11 special needs children.

As an advocated of choice, I found this movie quite heartwarming and also reminded me about the problems with the anti-choice ideal that we should do "adoption not abortion".

I'm not saying abortion is the right method for children born with special needs, but unfortunately in this country there are too many of these children out there that need homes and too many people wanting to adopt that only want "healthy white babies".

Susan Tom is an angel and a wonderful mother to all these children

1. I love that documentary!

Susan Tom has a messageboard at yahoo and she answers all questions.

My favourite part of the movie is at the very end when Susan says, "it's life and you gotta live it"
