What a moving and inspiring story! It’s always great to see people with big hearts who are willing to embrace and provide a loving life for children in need. The fact that Chris and Elmira Knutsen decided to adopt Vasilina despite her physical challenges is truly commendable.

Sadly, even today, stigma and discrimination against people with physical differences is still prevalent. It is essential to understand that everyone has the right to live a full and rewarding life, regardless of their physical circumstances.

It is also important to remember that difference does not define a person. As Vasilina’s story demonstrates, despite her physical challenge, she grew up in an environment of love and support, and made great strides. It is a powerful example of how love, support and understanding can have a significant impact on a person’s life.

Vasilina’s courage and strength, as well as the kindness and open-mindedness of her adoptive parents, are inspiring. This story reminds us of the importance of accepting and embracing our differences and treating everyone with love and respect.
