Kerri Browitt and Jim Caviezel have three kids, Bo (b. December 12, 1999), Lyn Elizabeth “LeLe” (b. September 25, 2001), and David (b. 2010). Interestingly, none of the kids is their biological child, they were all adopted from China; all the kids had cancer but that did not deter the couple.

When they adopted their daughter, Lyn, they were offered a healthy newborn girl but opted for the five-year-old Lyn who had a brain tumor. Speaking on their decision to adopt her, the couple stated that instead of going for healthy children, they reasoned that those would definitely find a good home but it is very unlikely that a sick child would.

Just like Lyn, Bo was also born with a brain tumor while David was diagnosed with a high stage sarcoma on his leg. The tumors, however, turned out to be benign and has since been successfully removed. Also, after numerous visits to the hospital, their son David had his leg saved and is now living happily with his family.
