Was Michael Oher adopted?
Oher was adopted by Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy while he was attending Briarcrest Christian School.
They initially allowed him to live with them temporarily but when they realized he needed help and a sense of belonging in order to turn his life around, they adopted him officially.
Oher had academic issues so the benevolent couple hired a private tutor who taught him at home for 20 hours every week.

His biological parents were Denise Oher and Michael Jerome Williams. They had 12 children and did not bother to raise any of them properly.
