When Matt Stutzman was born without arms, his birth parents’ obstetrician told them their son would never be independent, find a job, or blend into society. By the time he was three months old, Matt had been put up for adoption. His adoptive parents, however, were undaunted by the realities of raising a child with physical disabilities.
