What are you talking about, "father"? What, are you doing comedy for us now, Pete? Karen, we've had plenty of fathers who have stepped up, but in this case, no ID's on any birth fathers. Look, Lizzy's mom is a product of the system and she never learned to properly care for herself, much less three kids. - Three? Three kids? - Oh. What? Yeah, three. - Yeah, Lizzy... - At once? Yeah, Lizzy comes with two younger siblings, Juan and Lita. Wait, wait. So we would have... three children? No. Two, maybe, but there's no way we can do three. I mean, we wanted to meet... Oh, my gosh. - Why would you show us that? - You're an asshole. Why would you even show that? They're so cute. That's wrong. Listen, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, okay? Lita is a... a wild, rowdy kid, and Juan can be fragile and a little emotional, and Lizzy is strong-willed and she won't trust easily. - God, can you blame her? - Well, but listen. We wouldn't recommend this match if we didn't believe that with some structure and love these... these kids could blossom, right? Yeah, and we're hoping to get them out of their current foster placement. - The Muskies might lose that meal ticket. - Karen, please. Most of our foster parents are really terrific, caring people. And, yes, there are people who do it just for the paycheck. But the Muskies are not abusive or evil. - Just maybe a little... - Inbred. - Karen, there is no evidence to... - You've seen 'em. I swear they look like brother and sister. I can't tell them apart. In any case, I'd love to set up a visitation, unless you have any other concerns. It's just a visitation. So... I-I-It's just... Is it a problem... You know, the whole white savior thing? - Like the Avatar thing. - Avatar? You know how the blue guys couldn't fight off the unobtanium guys until the white guy showed up and pretended to be a blue guy? All I'm saying is, white-bread couple taking in little Latin kids. Are people gonna think we shouldn't be doing that? You know what? We'll go ahead and toss these kids back into the system and I'll just jot you down for "whites only." - Come on. I didn't mean... - Hey! No, that's not... - Don't write "whites only." That's not what he meant. - That's not at all what I meant. Pete, I appreciate your cultural sensitivity, but we have every color of kid in the system. And we have every color of parent. Every color. - Just not nearly enough. - Not nearly enough parents. - Mm-mmm. - And listen. You're gonna get some funny looks. And people are gonna say some stupid shit. But if you're willing to love these kids who need a mom and dad, and somebody has a problem with that, you just ask 'em how many goddamn kids they've adopted. - Exactly. - Hell. Shoot. I just wanted to have the Avatar talk. Now we did, so I'm good. Oh, fantastic. - You ready to meet three kids? - Three kids? - Yeah. - All right. We'll set it up.

- Pete. Ellie. - Hey. - You made it. - Hi. Just sign in, and take this form with you and write down the name of any kid you meet you might be interested in. Really? That's how this works? Yeah, it can feel a little like shopping for kids. It's messed up, I know, but the county puts these on because they can match a lot of kids and parents quickly. God, look at the big kids over there. Breaks my heart. Most folks want nothing to do with teenagers. Of course, if you two thought you could make room for an older child... - Um, I mean... - I... Oh, God. I'm so sor... We... We're terrible people. I'm sorry. You're not terrible. Now get on in there and find you a family. Go on.

I'm gonna be honest with you, all right? I don't know, I just thought when we met our kids that it would be like this cosmic connection, you know? Like just take one look at them and just know, like when you and me met. Yeah. Totally. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What, you didn't just know? - Hmm? - Oh, my gosh. - What? - You heard what I said. You didn't just know? No, I was interested, but, you know, I'm more cautious than you are. Really? Wow. How long before you just knew? A couple of months. A couple of months? How many months?
