These are pictures of a boy from Idaho named Bowen Toomey. Bowen was born without complete arms or legs and was given up by his birth mother in Serbia. Bowen was adopted from an orphanage in Serbia by the Toomey family. Bowen now has two brothers and is a smart and playful boy. His mother says, "With all that he's been through you'd think he'd be unhappy, but he is joyful through it all." Rather than thinking of himself as disabled, Bowen makes himself very able. Bowen says, "I have no arms and no legs, and that's a good thing because it makes me special. I like me the way I am."
