Okay, folks, our .26 hearing is now a Change of Circumstance hearing for a Miss Carla Viara. - And you are Miss Viara, yes? - She is, Your Honor. And also with us today are Juan, Lita, and Elizabeth Viara? - Here. - Here! And did you two each get a teddy bear? - Yes! - Oh, those are good ones. - And you are Elizabeth? - It's Lizzy, sir. I mean, Your Honor. And, Lizzy, I understand that you've submitted a statement.

And the foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, are they present as well? Yes, Your Honor. And, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, is it accurate that you left Juan and Lita alone in your car while you were being arrested for aggravated assault? - Well, that... - Yes, Your Honor, but in our defense... Sir, all I need to know is whether or not Lizzy is lying. No, she's not lying. And prior to that assault, did you accost a 14-year-old honor student in the same school yard and encourage him "to whip out his big, shaved plums"?

Hi. I don't know the whole context of everything. But I'm just wondering if I can just get in on that hug a little bit. We're good! Thank you so much. We're good, thank you. Sorry. That was just wrong. Yeah, I just do that. You guys hug. I crossed a boundary there. Everything's gonna work out great too. I can tell.

She got a T-shirt. You know, family court is important work. But it's difficult work. We spend day in and day out dealing with things that we feel no family should have to go through. So on these rare days when we get to smile at work, these days mean a great deal to all of us. And I may not look it, but I'm a huge cornball and I live for this. Ronit?

Yeah! I love this song. We are here today to officially create a new family. Peter and Elinore Wagner, do you wish to adopt Juan, Lita, and Lizzy into your family today? - Yes, Your Honor. - Yes, Your Honor. It's just the song that's got me a little emotional.

Are you with them? Do you know those guys? Yeah. Why? Do you guys want to come in? - Uh... - I-I made a pie. - No, thank you. - Yes! - Karen! - It's pie. You know I love pie. Great. Yeah, I just... I have so many feelings.

- 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.
