The mother whose story inspired the hit movie "The Blindside" has taken on a new television series to assist families in navigating the process of adoption.
"We are taking one family at a time and we are trying to make a difference," said Leigh Anne Tuohy, adoptive mother of Super Bowl champion and offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, Michael Oher.
Ever since her family's real life story of taking in – and eventually adopting – a teen from the streets has captured the public's attention, Tuohy said members of the family have been offered spots on numerous shows, from "The Amazing Race" to "Undercover Boss."
"We've turned them all down because that's just not who we are," she said in a recent press call.
