A Mother's Heartbreaking Essay On Raising 2 HIV Positive Children Goes Viral

A mother's account of living with two HIV positive children has gone
viral .While many would go for healthy children,the photo journalist
Jen Mosher adopted HIV positive children .She got tired of the stigma
associated with it and decided to pen down her feelings in an write up
shared over 37,000 times, She told Buzzfeed.

After doing some research and talking with other families, we
absolutely knew that we could do it and that HIV was a manageable
chronic disease. We took a leap of faith and asked our adoption agency
if there were HIV children available for adoption in China, and were
told, 'Probably not. China has lots of HIV-positive children in
orphanages but they are believed to be unadoptable so they do not make
them available for adoption.'

In spite of this, the very next day, we got matched with our
HIV-positive daughter, and then later, we also got matched with and
adopted another amazing HIV-positive child.
