The adoptive mother of a 21-year-old son, who was given a bleak prognosis after being shaken as a baby, is over the moon as he landed his first job. Her son, she says, has made himself and the whole family proud with his new feat.

Heather and Luke Bell of Michigan are parents to eight children. They started fostering after learning they couldn’t have kids of their own. Joshua was the first child they adopted through foster care.
