Chris Henk (1977-Present) Chris Henk was born in Seoul, South Korea on October 25, 1977. Known as Min Jae while if foster care before being adopted in 1980 to Greg and Robyn Henk. Chris was born with a deformity called Arthrogyposis which limited movement in his arms, left knee, wrists, and both hands. Chris is not able too raise his arms above his head without assistance. The arms also do not contain enough muscle to allow him to flex like normal people. His left knee does not contain a kneecap and has limited flexibility. The knee does not bend, so he walks and runs with a limp. Chris's wrists do not allow for them to straighten out flat due to weak tendons in his wrists. The left hand has two fingers that are not really fingers. They look more like a boomerang. His right hand has all five digits, however no grasping power or fist making abilities.

Although Chris has grown up with this disability, it has not stopped him from carrying on with life. When doctors told Greg and Robyn that Chris would not be able to do things capable people were doing, Chris surprised all the doubters, his parents to a certain degree, and himself.
