Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's new episode

[gini]

The college fund for those girls - now didn't that just get to you?

And the mortgage being paid off..............that called for another good cry too!!

I missed the very beginning of the show, so I don't know the relationship of the girls to the Mom.

Can anyone fill me in? Thanks!!!

Gini, I missed the first part too, but I am assuming that the oldest girl must be her blood daughter (well, I was wrong about that...wonder where her two "blood" sons are in all of this). How special that they were able to get the oldest girl a car of her own, plus a private entrance to her room! The others, I know, were all adopted. What I don't know if there was ever a Mr. Toms in the picture. She had a lovely, clean home, before the makeover, but it was not friendly for the girls with the disabilities.

Edit: Look at this link. I think it will help explain a lot. Glad you asked!!!!

All the girls were adopted, including the eldest. She had brain surgery as an infant.

Such a great show... I only caught the last 20 minutes. That was enough time for me to develop LES tho... There is a great Documentary on Susan Tom... what an AMAZING woman!

Yeah, when Mark Wills came on that made me cry. That song ALWAYS makes me cry, too, so it really fit with the show.

That is my FAVORITE song!! I have it on CD recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary. So true!!! It's not what's on the outside, it's what is on the inside that counts!
