Over a half million children are currently in foster care. The system is overloaded, okay? It doesn't need any more kids. So for a child to be removed, conditions have to be pretty bleak, usually involving abuse or extreme neglect. And some of these kids can often languish in the system, unless a wonderful family like yours steps up for them. We'll step up. We'll take one right away. Perfect. Let me go check in back, see what we have in stock. She is kidding, of course. We do not stock. And you know that. But we can take you through the eight-week foster parenting course, and you can get your certification. And then we can pair you with some kids that you can foster until they become adoptable. But it is not gonna be easy, folks. These kids will test your will, put a strain on your relationship, and push buttons you didn't even know you had. I can tell by looking at you that not all y'all are gonna make it. I actually think this group has got the grit to face some unpleasant... - Excuse me. - Y-You guys heading out? - Yeah. - Okay.

And the Lord has guided us here to adopt a baby boy... or a girl. - Yeah, the big guy, he's blessed us with so much. - Mm-hmm. - We'd just like to share it with a child that needs a home. - Yeah. What about over here? I'm David, and this is my wife, Jessie. And we've been trying to have a baby for three years now. But no matter what we do, I... I can't...

Just like... really, that gorgeous sweet spot. Yeah. And when you graduate high school, we're gonna be in the front row embarrassing you. We're gonna be in the front row again when you graduate college, or even if you don't. You will be graduating college, 'cause it's so important and you're so smart. I don't mean to push, but it just opens up so many more opportunities. But either way, we're gonna be there for you. And someday I'm gonna give you away at your wedding. Even if I think the guy's a pissant and he's not good enough for my little girl. That's right. Someday in the future. Someday in the way, way, way off, deep, deep, deep distant future.

Hi. So, when I was eight years old, my mom and her boyfriend decided it would be a good idea to build a meth lab in our garage. They made me deliver drugs for them. They abused me physically, and some of their customers abused me sexually. Uh, when I was 11, our garage exploded, and I was put in the system, bounced around from placement to placement. Pretty soon I was 14. Nobody wants a teenager, so I'd be aging out in a few years. The thing is, over half the kids who age out of foster care end up homeless, addicted, incarcerated, or dead within two years.
