Speaking of court, um, I just wanted to apologize for what I wrote to the judge. It was all true. It was a little out of context maybe, but there's no hard feelings. Actually, I wanted to give you the statement we wrote that we couldn't read in court, just so you have it. Yeah.

I said that, Your Honor, but again, I thought it was the person who sent her the... Mrs. Wagner, did you at one time force Lizzy's friends to leave your home by way of a bedroom window? - It was a ground floor window. - Good. Points for you. And at that same occasion, did you tell Lizzy to call CPS and to come and take the kids? - She didn't mean that. - I did not mean that. That was in the heat of an argument. - Your Honor, I have a statement. - Yes, I've read it, thank you. - We actually wrote a new one. - Ma'am, excuse me, but I have your... Please, Your Honor, we were up late working on it. I can read it very fast. "Lizzy once asked us why we took them in. And at the time, we couldn't answer her." - Ma'am, please sit down. - Please, Your Honor, can you let me say the answer? No. Sit. This hearing is not about you. Judging by Lizzy's statement, you might be back in court soon enough, so let's save that heartwarming speech for that occasion.

Whoa. What's happening here? This man has been sending lewd comments and photos to our daughter. - You're going to jail today, Jacob! - You mind calling the police? Absolutely! Miss Peppers!

- Did Lizzy tell you that? - Oh, come on, Ellie. I grew up a lot like that kid. You get reminded what a sack of shit you are five times a day, after a while, you can't believe anyone could ever love you.

- I'm sorry. Can someone else go? - It's okay. It's okay. Well, I'm Kit and this is Michael. We've also been trying to conceive now. Pretty much since the first night we met, right? That is correct. We're just not having any luck. We're looking for a child of any gender or ethnicity up to nine years old.

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.

But no matter how hard I pushed them away, they were always there with a sack lunch and a ride.
