Family life explored in 7 Little Johnstons season 12

On the show, all the Johnston members have achondroplasia, the world's most common form of dwarfism. As a family, they refuse to be let down by the disorder and wish to live normally. By appearing on television, they hope to spread awareness about their condition. Moreover, they also want to show the world that they are no different from people who do not experience any kind of dwarfism.

Moreover, the Johnstons family has a diverse group of members. After the birth of their biological children, Elizabeth and Jonah, they adopted three more children: Anna from Russia, Alex from South Korea, and Emma from China.

The main reason behind adopting was that Amber suffered complications during both of her deliveries. The couple traveled to Russia and lived there for 16 days to adopt Anna. Similarly, the couple had to visit China to adopt Emma. However, unlike these two countries, they adopted Alex without visiting South Korea.

In a YouTube video, Amber expressed how she and her husband feel about adopting and creating a family;

"Adoption is not necessarily for everybody. However, everybody can be a part of adoption — whe,her it's making donations to a specific family that's adopting or a specific organization, "

She further explained;

"Our family was created not only by birth, but also by adoption, and Trent and I are extremely proud of that."

Moreover, the net worth of the Johnstons family is not widely known. However, going by TLC's budget of $250,000 to $400,000 per episode, it can be assumed that the family earns anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000 per episode.

Viewers can watch 7 Little Johnstons premiere on August 12 at 10.00 p.m. (ET) on TLC.
