"7 Little Johnstons" star Emma Johnston is 15 years old and was adopted from China when she was just five, according to her TLC bio. She was the family's last adoption and is "free-spirited and full of energy."

The TLC cameras capture everything in this family, and fans learned last season that Emma receives injections for an autoimmune disease. Her exact disease is unknown. During Season 7, Emma saw a speech therapist to reportedly figure out some communication issues. "Emma is seeing the speech therapist today, Dr. Tiffany, to help her confidence and her abilities to get up in front of her group at camp and instruct them and just be able to overall lead them during this summer camp," her mom Amber said in a clip obtained by Us Weekly. As her speech therapist said, "It seems to me that Emma's language disorder is related just to neurological, to brain functioning, that she processes information a little slower." Emma seemed uncomfortable at the time: "It bothers me when I take forever to answer. I know what I want to say, but I just don't know what the right word is."

Emma appears quite confident and even has her own jewelry store on Etsy, Emmas Rings N Things, featuring rings, earrings, bracelets, and plenty of colorful stickers. Like most teenagers, she enjoys perfecting her dance moves on Tik Tok. She has her challenges, but so does every teen!
