You guys picking us up? Where's Mom? She was supposed to meet us at the office this morning and she didn't show. Oh, no. She didn't answer her phone. Did you go to her house? What if something happened to her? Yes, we went to see her. She was very ashamed. She said... she can't do it. No, she didn't. Because why would she, um, fill out all the forms and the court stuff and reunification stuff if she didn't... - Lizzy, your mom said you filled out all those forms. - I helped, but so what? She felt she was being pushed into something that she wasn't ready for. No. I didn't push her. She's ready! Just let me talk to her, please, and then we can figure something out. - Honey. - And she can take me home. Honey, when we saw her, it was obvious. She's using again. She's not coming, baby.

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. Well, thank you. Bye-bye. - All right, that one's on me. - It absolutely is. - We've gone over this before. - We have. - This is a problem. - It's a problem. Okay, everybody, why don't we learn your names and what type of children you're looking for. Oh, hi. We're Dana and Dirk McCann. 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...

Wait, you mean the one in your hand? Lita, honey, did you go potty? - I went potty! - Okay, good job. - Everybody go potty! - Yeah, I went potty. - Got that packet we're supposed to bring? - Yeah, I'm all set. - Let's go, guys. - Let's go.

Come on. Okay. So you're punishing me with manual labor. - I've worked harder than you've ever... - Yeah, I know, you're a badass. - This isn't a punishment, okay? - Hey! I'm Stewart. You probably...

- Put these on. - What? Just put them on. Lizzy, I know you're angry. At us, at the world. Maybe at yourself a little bit. I don't know, and you're not talking. Truth is, when I'm pissed, I don't like to talk about it either. But you know what I do like to do? - Oh! - I like to break shit. R... Really?
