When Chris and Bob Atherton got married, they decided to build their family through adoption. They've adopted kids from around the world and many with challenging health conditions. It's an incredible story of life, love and family. Nearly 40 years and 14 kids later, they continue to run a busy household. Recently, the kids got together to surprise their parents with an update to the Athertons’ family room. help.houzz.com/s/article/How-can-my-project-get-fe…

These two are pure angels on Earth and it looks like they have raised good-hearted children.

You know for a fact that those 14 people are tremendous human beings. they will have been raised in tolerance, without discrimination, know how to share and be compassionate towards others.

Dyou know that the original saying actually goes: "blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" which means, the family you choose is stronger than the biological one that was given to you.

The girl with the heart problem has ironically such a big and kind heart. Such a warm and lovable family

Rest in Peace, Becca -- the daughter with the heart condition. She died on Oct. 12, 2018. What a beautiful, kindhearted and generous soul she was. I've tried to raise my daughter right and she's turning into an honest, sensitive and caring 16-year-old. But even if she is just a fraction of the kind of girl Becca seems to have been, I will be overjoyed.

This family has been my family since I’ve been born. My mom met them when I was in the hospital in Phoenix. I love them more than words can express. I think I’m gonna go visit them today. I have a tattoo for Becca who passed not too long ago. I miss her every day. I love these people. They are so genuine and are truly the best people I’ve ever met. Love you Chris and Bob.

My favorite by far. 😍 As a foster kid that was never adopted, taken in by a family at 18 after i was homeless, ...and resident Oregonian, my heart is awash with love for this incredible family. ❤✊🏼

I’m both adopted & an adoptive mother. This brings joy to my heart. Love is the indisputable reality in adoption.

I haven't even finished this video but I already know that these parents deserve so much more than a new family room. I can only hope to be 1% as wonderful as these parents someday.

WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS? The moment she said that another family turned down the adoption because she was sick, tears formed in my eyes.
