Seriously! The Tuoghys took him into their home, treated him like one of their own children, provided for his every need and probably every want, too, then sent him to college and provided him with the necessary support system of tutors and coaches to get him into the NFL, where he had a pretty successful career, and then treated his girlfriend like family and accepted his kids as their own grandchildren.
I wish the Tuoghys would adopt me.

Since they never adopted him, Oher is probably wishing the same thing….
I think what the pp was trying to point out is that the Tuoghys literally pulled Oher out of the projects and gave him tremendous opportunities with every resource they could provide.
That's just nonsense. He was already a student at their kids' private school and was a 5 star football recruit. They definitely helped him along with tutoring, etc but they did not "literally" "pull him out of the projects." Yuck.
From his Wikipedia page:
He was placed in foster care at age seven, and alternated between living in various foster homes and periods of homelessness.
(Then in high school![]()
Before that season and for his prior 20 months at Briarcrest, Oher had been living with several foster families. In 2004, Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, a couple with a daughter and son attending Briarcrest, allowed Oher to live with them.
So what is your point? He was in foster care. So not in some ghetto like you seem to think.
