It was Juan, Lita, and Lizzy." You see? You were what was missing, Lizzy. But now you're here and you are stuck with us. - That's right. - We're gonna be at every soccer game. We're gonna be all over your ass about your grades. We're gonna buy you your first prom dress. It's gonna be really pretty. But not too revealing. Super sweet. You know, not too sexy. 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.

So... um, here's what I think is best. I know Juan and Lita are more like what you had in mind when you got into this. Come on, baby. So I think the best thing is for you to adopt them. And... And I'll just ask Karen for, um, a different placement. - So... - No. - No, it'll be good. - No, honey. We need your help with Juan and Lita. We're not doing this without you. I'll visit all the time and you can call me if you need help for anything. - No. - Pete, I really don't want to argue about this right now. I don't care. I said no. That's not happening, okay? - You're with us now. - Yeah. And you know why? We've got a cosmic connection. That's right, we've got a cosmic connection. I know you feel sorry for me right now, but you really don't have to... It's got nothing to do with what just happened. Where's the court statement Ellie gave you?

Okay. Now, Miss Viara, I see that you've been keeping up with your visits. That's good. I also understand that you've been sober for the last five months. Is that still the case? - Yes. - That's very good news. And if I were to put the kids in your care, your current residence could accommodate them?

Hello. My name is October Ross Jennings. And I would like to be the single mother of an athletically gifted teen boy who I can help to reach his full Division One scholarship potential. Preferably African-American. - Mm-hmm. - Right? Like The Blind Side. Like the movie. Right? That's great. Honey, she's not joking. A-Are you jo... You're not joking? My God. I'm so sorry. I just thought 'cause of the gay guys' conceiving joke that we were... I mean, that is the plot of The Blind Side, so... I've never seen it. So, please, it's your turn. Just do not talk to me anymore. Yeah, she's nuts. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible. I, uh... So, my name's Ellie. Hi. This is my husband, Pete. Uh, yeah, I mean, I'm not too sure about any of this. I mean, I get it. We adopted our dog Meatball, and we love him like crazy, but... - Don't compare kids to dogs. - I'm not. I'm just saying there used to be a stigma about getting a dog from the pound, but now they're called rescue dogs and everybody wants one. Don't say "pound," don't say "dog." Just don't. Okay, no, that's not... It's just all of this is a little scary, right? - But maybe if you call them rescue kids... - Oh, my God. ...instead of foster kids, more people would be into it and people wouldn't walk out in the middle of your seminar - and it'd be good for your program. - Pete! Pete! - I'm just saying... - Just stop it! Oh, everyone, our guest speaker of the day, Brenda Fernandez and her parents. Let's make them feel welcome. Whoo! Hey, thank you.
