Clemmons, NC -- Jeanine Baskin doesn't have a typical family.
The single mother of two adopted her daughters from China.  Her youngest daughter, Amelia, Isn't your average seven year old. She was born with just one fully-developed arm.

That hasn't stopped her from leading an active seven-year-old's life.  "What we often say about Amelia is how do you catch a cloud and pin it down? Thats just her personality," said her mother Jeanine.

Amelia is currently learning how to play the piano.  She also loves to swim, ski, and has a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. "What I tell her is there's nothing that you cant do. You just might have to do it differently," explained Jeanine.

Amelia also plays soccer. Their last game of the season was supposed to be today, but it was postponed.
