  Samira happy

  Mother: Crystal S

  She said, mom, can you take a picture? I feel happy right now. I want people to know that we’re like everybody else, the same needs, the same wants… we want the same chances, just like everybody else.

  They shouldn't struggle

  Mother: Angela S

   I want them to be able to be at peace, to be healthy and be successful. Because life is very hard. And I don’t want them to even struggle a third of what I went through because it’s not right for a child to have to go through the stuff I went through.

• 
  Her feet

  Mother: Tangela F

  Those are my and Asiya's feet.  I don’t want ‘Siya to walk in the same footsteps that I did. I want her to be her own person. And I don’t want her to have such a hard life like I did.
