Connecticut mother-of-nine adopts six children with special needs to give them a better future
Hope Feliciano represents motherhood in its most inclusive form, as she goes on to care for children who are challenged in various health related ways
Stay-at-home-mum-of-nine Hope Feliciano (53) from Connecticut has always hoped to adopt a child herself. But her objective has been unique as she has adopted six children with medical problems and provided them with a home where they can do anything they set their minds to.
Following her marriage to her husband, Caesar, in 1988 at just the age of 23, they both desired to adopt children, despite going on to have three children of their own.
It all began in 2002 when Hope and her husband decided to attend an open house session about fostering and adoption, soon after which they adopted their first child, Antonio — who is now 16 — in 2005.
