THE world of beauty pageants has helped two disabled sisters find their confidence and, for one of them, her first words. From a young age, both Ava, 9, and 4-year-old Jessa struggled with their confidence, with Jessa unable to speak at all. Ava was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, and Jessa has spina bifida milamidiseal - one of the most complex forms of spina bifida. Parents Jacqueline and Jason Whipple turned to beauty pageants to see if they could bring the girls out of their shells. Between them, Ava and Jessa have appeared in 40 beauty pageants, winning several crowns along the way, not to mention the hearts of everyone who meets them - and their parents couldn’t be prouder.

As the first blind person to win a beauty pageant in Canada, I love this! I won MTCI when I was 15, a year after I lost most of my vision. The pageant really helped me in my journey to recovery and I love seeing it do the same for other disabled girls!
That's so cool. You need to be in one of these documentaries.
Molly Burke How did you write your comment?
Seeing...huh
Loved your collab with Shane Dawson!
Inanimate Carbon Rod umm she not completely blind...duhhh🙄🙄🙄 she can still see somewhat obviously
As soon as they said jessa was non verbal and pageants helped her talk and its helping the girls self esteem it made my heart sing ♡
They were very cute and they did well to! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
limpy and chubs disabled kids only win because its PC to be deluded that everyones equal
Andrew Freeston Maybe they win because they’re good at it. They obviously are skilled.
@@AndrewFreeston-qn7ck mabie its because there just as able as anyone else and capable of it and ur the one lacking the capability to understand disabled means people are just as valid an equil sometimes we just require assistance I'm autistic my IQ is above normal range meaning its higher than most of the population born into this world and I own my own business society called me disabled I started my buisness on my own with no help so mabie stop hating and shut your mouth before u speak
Pagents seek more than looks.
Always have to give credit to people who live through disabilities and disadvantages, how they focus on the positives of life and don't give up. It's amazing how strong some people really are.
There is nothing wrong with being disabled. The only reason we are at a disadvantage is because the world is not made accessible for us. If the whole world could fly except for you, would you want to feel like an inspiration just for existing? When we’re given the tools to be able to do the things other people can do, we’re exactly the same.
You're putting words into my mouth, I never said being disabled is wrong.
While this comment 100% comes from the right place, it shows an unhelpful lack of understanding of living with a disability. Many people with disabilities have no interest in being inspirational or for people to just look at how they "don't give up" and are so strong just because they do normal things - which the girls in this video are doing. They want to simply be seen as normal people, who should be included in every normal part of life, and not seen as suffering just because of their disability.
@@savfromsopn that's right. but even if they don't want to be an inspiration, they are. Because they do all they can to do things the world didn't plan for them. That's sad, but that's true. Humanity has his society and activities planed for the average people and the "disabled ones" could have it tough trough that. And they could say "Ok. it's not for me, I'll forget it and stay alone at home.", what lots of other persons would perhaps do for less. But when they try to do the things like normal people, it's harder for them and therefore they are inspirational, because we think "if they can do it, we can do our things too!".
I hope you understand me well, I have nothing against them, I'm just happy they try to do their best and show the world, they can do it, and are accepted for who they are!
Have a great day!
@@rebeccaschadeli8707 The problem lies in what people call "inspiration p*rn" where disabled people are viewed as something amazing just for doing everyday tasks. Yes it's harder, but we don't want to be an inspiration, we want people to realize our struggles and make things easier. For me, during the last year when most places removed public seating and required the use of hand sanitizer (some kinds I'm allergic to), I realized my disability more than ever. At least I'm no longer looked at funny for wearing allergy masks, but I'm just trying to exist, and find places to sit and get what I need, not be some aspirational thing just because I'm in university with multiple chronic conditions and learning disabilties. I'd suggest looking at the social model of disability, as that's a newer way of looking at disability that helped a lot of us come to terms with our limits, as well as realize we don't have to be an inspiration, and we're also not a problem.
Wow, this is the first time I've ever been truly encouraged by someone competing in pageants. They look like they truly enjoy it and that their parents are doing it for the right reasons. I actually trust them that if it ever started to hurt or they regressed, they'd stop. ....as opposed to a lot of other pageant parents. This is actually really sweet. And, I appreciate that the organizers didn't put them in a different category or anything else. They're just as good - if not better - than some of the other in their age group. Way to go girls!
Kaalyn - OPG you are absolutely right.

Khoi My -- No one ever said nor suggested that. Please stop projecting your "unfair advantage" trope that's been seen more than enough in this comment section.

I know these girls personally and they are the most polite and adorable little angels ever.
Colton Meeks yes I served on them and they are the sweetest
That's awesome! They are so sweet and adorable!
Awww good! Hope they are doing well.
Those parents are amazing wow never thought i would say that about a pagent family
not all pegent families are bad, just the ones u see on tv usually
OMG these girls are too damn adorable!! I love their spirit and energy and overall positivity. I wish them the biggest and brightest futures wherever they land!! 💖
Best story of my night by far, thanks for the smile Barcroft!

Khoi My how would you feel if you were ava or Jessa and you heard that comment
Khoi My yeah they're not pretty their adorable
uh as I am a model
Nonce
You can tell that these girls are the center of daddy’s world 😭❤️
Oh my gosh Ava is a natural at this--she has a wonderful smile and adorable poses. Jessa is super cute and sweet too. I love how dad thought it would only be "one" beauty pageant--XD!
I love that they don’t discriminate and they let the children have fun.
Ur sooooo right
I don't know if they thought of this but they should dress up Jessa's wheelchair to go with the theme section of the pageant portion. It would be so cute!
Yes it would but then it would draw attention to her chair and not her that's probably why
Cinderella in a carriage, with mice or geese, dressed up like the chauffeur.
Wow this couple are true Angels to not only adopt, but to adopt special needs child. Really gods send to these kids
What a beautiful family. Ava's huge heart and spirit -- and those eyes -- just make my heart smile so brightly!
This is what pageants should do for young children. Not exploit them, but empower them.
What a wonderful family. Glad they can find ways to make their little girls feel beautiful.
This story warms my heart❤😊. Bless the parents for taking in all four of these beautiful children 👏👏👍.

I've seen both of these girls in a pageant before. They were both the sweetest kids. Smiled the whole time!
Never let anything or anyone take away your dreams
That is one thing nobody can take from you
MOMMYnARMYwife Thank you:😊💕💕💕
Sweet sweetheart s
God bless them and their caring parents
They're both pretty girls! And seeing them being so "fierce", and giving it their all, is proving that no matter what is going on in your life, that you can still go for your dreams and goals! And their parents seem so loving and caring! Giving their children a loving and caring home to live in, and supporting them in the things they want to do, is a great example for others to see!
Hmmm, I wonder if it would be selfish of me to ask God for a brand new heart? Now that Ava & Jessa’s beautiful smiles have melted my old one away?
What an amazing story and amazing family!!! God bless these wonderful parents. Their children are beautiful and I know in my heart they will be success in their life because of a strong support and encouragement from their mother and father. This family is a very great example and influence for young generation 🙏🏻😊
The parents are true heroes I applaud them for raising these sweet little girls in a loving home.
These sisters are so adorable! And thanks to the parents for taking in all four of these children and showing them the love they deserve. I heard once that "adopted kids are special because they were chosen".
These two little girls look like little dolls. So adorable! I love how their little faces lights up when they're on the pageant stage. !!
omg such a cute family ! So much talent ❤️ and the girls have so much personality
These girls have more passion and zest for life than any of those Toddlers and Tiaras brats. I am usually very against these pageants, but I believe that this is an outlet that lets them be their own advocates. They’re changing the face of beauty in the eyes of so many kids❤️
These are some of the first girls that actually look like they love to do pageants and are not being pressured by parents
I wish these girls and their parent the best. They are so lovable and seems so happy participating. Good job teaching them to brave in public since kid. All the best for this family
This is AMAZING! Somebody needs to give these girls their own show! TLC watching?
I always thought that pageants were the worst thing for children, but watching this video I understood that they have a lot of potential to build confidence in children 💕 wish it could be like that for every child
Every little girl deserves to feel beautiful and loved
This is such a great story I want to see more pageants like this
honestly hate pagents but this seems to genuinely make these two happy and is done for the good of the kids rather than to just live the parents dream. massive respect to the parents :D
Wolfsign No parents I know who have kids in pageants do it for themselves? You need to stop believing everything on TV. 🙄🙄
:,) awww they’re so cute! I love the way the older sister kisses her little sister 😍 so sweet
Ava is 9, Jessa is 4 and they also have boys who are 9 and 4
Simone Paterson yh it says so in the video you don't need to repeat it
Ava has some sass, and I love it!!!!!!!! Beautiful!
No Ava does not
@@yolo7744 what
Another kid in Bulgaria was starving and covered in hair from an orphanage but he is doing amazing with his new family he can now, at least a temp to, move and make noises, I'm happy Ava and the other Bulgaria kid are doing well #saveBulgariakids

Parents, please stay healthy and take very good care of yourselves, the kids need you now and in the future. Your both amazing parents..God bless! xx
I'm in love, absolutely in love with these girls! They are so genuinely happy to be alive, enjoying each moment they can because a selfless husband and wife gave them what every child deserves: A loving home :)

That kid will always be able to make a living as a performer.
I love those people! And lord, are these kids beautiful

Huu
I hate beauty pageants but these girls are so happy and beautiful. I am vexed.
I'm not crying waddya mean. Honestly this channel gives me so much hope if and when I have children if something unexpected happens it's really not the end of the world because anything is truly possible
Wow, I am in love with this family....what beautiful human beings. Even the poor long suffering 9 year old and 4 yr old brothers are amazing, that’s a lot to deal with. These parents are a shining example of what we all need to keep in our hearts and express to the world.....our humanity.
im crying i love them
God bless this family, the girls are so lucky for having this couple as their parents.
These children are so amazing! The parents are so nice for doing this for them and boosting their self-confidence. This is the best video I've seen from Barcroft TV yet.
We need more folk like these parents !!
These Beautiful girls got d most wonderful parents...God bless all...
What beautiful little girls and what a wonderful loving family
They are both such beautiful girls!
Beautiful girls and I totally agree - the parents are allowing them to compete for all the right reasons. I was sad the video ended. I wanted to see more of the family. She should vlog!
CindiLeeCusimano I am more of a Facebook junkie! Thank you for your lovely comments!!! I tried blogging once.... I don't have that kind of time!!! I do wish I could have shared about my awesome sons, too.... another story for another time!
They are so precious!!! They have spectacular personality’s! You can tell they love their hobbies!!!

Amazing! I love that no matter the disability they can over come any challenges. ❤️ you beautiful girls!
These girls are just too cute and they look so happy at their pageants. This makes my heart grow 3 sizes like the Grinch. Keep doing what you love and making friends💗 The parents of these girls are doing a wonderful job and I am so happy they got to become parents cause We need more people like them bringing up children into the World. This video really made My day😊

They really are very pretty, they'll do alright, they are happy and loved.
They are just too adorable
I love it. They have so much confidence and it’s amazing. I’m glad that people no longer allow their kids with disabilities to just lay at home and hide them from the world. Nowadays they are free and their parents let them explore the world. I know this is very therapeutic. I’m happy for them.
What an amazing awesome family!! ❤❤ them!!
