unfortunately that means that you can't adopt no please don't I you don't know how much this means to me quite frankly it's unfair to the child and it's against our agency policy I wish there was more I could do I'm sorry what about her oh that's Tara unfortunately we just found out that she's sick the doctors say that she only has another 3 [Music] months she's going to be going to the hospital soon so [Music] let me adopt her no let me adopt her I can take care of her better than any doctor will I don't think that is no tin you don't understand I know what she's going through she can relate

stop you all right I don't know I don't know when I know you'll know okay are you going to perform a miracle huh okay great great great so I'll send you the bill excuse me where do you think you're going uh I'm having Thomas take me to Stacy's to use her hot tub okay well you can't just leave the house whenever you want Jennifer uh why not we have a driver for a reason come on let's go no no no Thomas doesn't work for you okay he works for us and you have to ask for permission anytime that you leave this house this place is like a prison if we had a hot tub I wouldn't have to leave but we don't this is just temporary I've explained this to you our house is being renovated Renovations that you wanted so it's common sense to expand the pool at a movie theater and a basketball court we have all those things at our house in Star Island so why would we not have that here in La if I knew we'd be staying in this dump during summer I would have left to Florida hello are you hearing this Jenny there is nothing wrong with this place plenty of people would killed to live in a home this nice yeah well they can kill me too I'm sick of feeling like a prisoner here see this is exactly what I was scared of her growing up so privileged she has no idea what it was like for us growing up poor true oh honey this is heartbreaking what happened there was an accident on the 405 oh and it was a whole family head on collision jeez both parents died and only the daughter survived and she was around Jenny's age too that's awful I don't even want to imagine what that poor girl must be feeling right now this looks so good I want to try some sure I'll you this no problem gross what's wrong now I asked for medium well not medium it should be less pink on the inside honey nobody can tell the difference between medium or medium well okay just try it no way I'm eating that where's the waiter the waiter just dropped off our food a minute ago maybe I don't know exercise some patience seriously dad Jenny a girl just lost both of her parents and you're over here complaining about a steak at a kitchenin restaurant do you have any idea how you're sounding right now I don't care I wanted to go to mastros anyway they would have made it right that's it I'm finding Jenny please don't I cannot believe her I know God I mean she doesn't appreciate anything at all oh I forgot to tell you that um I did a little bit of research on the girl that lost both of her parents and they put her in an adoption center and you know that must be so traumatizing and they're going to keep her there until someone you know until they can find a place for her and I really want to help look you get paid enough to do your job so why don't you just do it I mean are you trying to poison me stop disgusting not even cook like also it like we really have created a monster haven't we you think it's a joke right we're going to need to leave a big tip I'm sorry we only have a size five are you kidding me they don't even have my size I'm sorry sweetheart but maybe there's another fashion come let's go to another mall but this is already the third Mall we've been to so these are the heels that Kim K wore I need them honey honey good news yeah I just found out we're the girl from the news um I'm kind of in a shopping crisis right now please sweetie anyway so it turns out that we actually donate a lot of money to the center that she's at her name is Ally and told her we wanted to meet her and adopt her so excited no you're not adopting her I like being an only child and it's going to stay that way okay but that's not your decision to make Jennifer you're going to call them back right now your mom's right this is not your decision first we live in some crappy apartment all summer and now you're telling me I might have a sister you guys are literally the worst I'm having Thomas take me to another Mall anyways I scheduled it for Monday so it looks like it's Ali is a really sweet girl it's truly tragic what has happened and that she has no other family to go to the only good news about this is that she wasn't hurt in the acci accident but she's struggling really hard with the loss of her parents as you can imagine it's terrible poor thing I really appreciate both of you for caring so much and trying to help let me go grab Ali and you two hang tight how you feeling you okay I mean I'm just I I'm nervous is all I I don't know how she's going to be here what she's going to think of journy this is Ellie Ellie this is Mr Mrs Santos hi Ellie um it's it's so nice to meet you we heard about what happened to your parents on the news we're so sorry thanks so Mr and Mrs Santos are great people they've done a lot for this organization here I'm sure they take great care of you they even have a daughter your age would you be interested in going home with them that would mean you wouldn't have to stay here we totally understand if if you're not ready um we can always come back at a later time that's [Music] fine your home is beautiful I've never been anywhere this nice see you later going to support with Kimberly Jenny this is Ally the girl we've been telling you about right hi it's nice to meet you hey why don't you stay for a bit and welcome Ali into our home then we'll all go to the mall together that's actually a great idea because we have to stop by Ali's little Department anyways to pick up some clothes so we could just go there first first of all don't call this place our home Ally are you hungry let me know what you want and I'll have our Chef make it for you uh do you have some tortillas and cheese I can just make myself a guilla ew gross wait there's only two bedrooms in this house yes and so where is Ally going to sleep you guys are going to have to share a room until the house is being done renovated but then you guys each get your own room are you kidding me there's no way I'm sharing a room with her Jenny be nice it's really not a problem I don't mind sipping on the couch that's where I need to sleeping in anyway great we'll get you some nice blankets too I'll take the siuna and tell Alfred to hurry up the store closes early today like I'm sor so sorry about her don't pay attention to her she's complicated but you'll get used to it that's one way of putting it Che down right here what are you doing uh uh are we taking a different car uh no but why are you opening your own door we have drivers for that oh um thank you you're very welcome Ally I know it's a little odd but you'll get used to it over time it was weird for me when we first got a driver let's go to the Beverly Center we have to stop by Ali's first if we get there after the store is closed I'm going to be so mad everyone buckled up gosh I thought our apartment was bad were you getting your house renovated too no this is was our home OMG so you used to live here like permanently how could you survive in a place like this Jenny what I'm just saying there's no pool no spot and look at this TV e that's enough you know not everyone is as privileged as you I'm so sorry can I start by helping you grab a few things sure if you wouldn't mind not at all here's a garbage bag to put everything in a garbage bag you don't have like a suitcase or something no then what did you guys travel with we've never been anywhere well we drove to San Diego once because my dad had an interview I'm sure being back here is pretty tough on you it's okay I'm going to start grabbing these the bedroom ooh I want to see your closet you've got to have something better than that to wear I can have her wait in the car if you want she's fine but thanks wow your room is so small this wasn't just my room we all shared it why I'd sleep on the couch seriously I could never where are the rest of your clothes did you leave them at the adop agency no these are all my clothes you're kidding right where are your purses your shoes your jewelry you're looking at everything I have and you're not mad about that I could never live a day without my Louis or Chanel honestly I've never had a fraction of what you have but I had everything I needed you see other kids may have nicer clothes bigger houses nicer things but I never cared because I had my family even if we were just playing board games and eating TV dinners we made the most out of it to me family is the most valuable thing in the [Music] world I would give anything to just see my parents one more time to tell them I love them to hug them I miss them so much I still can't believe they're [Music] gone I feel so bad I'm so sorry for what happened Ali just don't ever take your family for granted we just got done filming a video for dar's channel I got pied in the face so did he well well well looks like a successful shopping trip did they have the shoes you were looking for yeah they did but I didn't get them why not seems like you guys got a lot of other stuff yeah actually none of it is for me it's all for you what no yes me and mom wanted to surprise you it's our way of saying welcome to the family that's so nice but this is way too much I don't need all this please keep it I promise you I don't have any more room in my closet look at that Allie's only been here for a couple of days and she's already rubbed off so much on Jenny all right I'll grab your blanket and pillows right wait no she won't be needing that what do you mean I think I'm fine sharing my room with my new sister are you sure yep I realized now there's nothing more valuable in life than family wow I'm shocked I just don't know what to say other than I'm proud of you chenny you know why don't we all go out to dinner to celebrate Ally moving in with us yeah sounds like a great idea and we'll make sure that your steak is medium well not medium actually I was thinking we could just have casadas for dinner today over mastros well if you say so wait you never said anything about mastros maybe we can save the casadas for tomorrow night let's go okay we pick Alex Emmy D no no way are you sticking us with Matthew what's wrong with Matthew bro look at him look at the way that he tied his shirt I'd rather be one player down than have him on my team well you don't have a choice Matthew you're with James list just stay out of the way weren't going to win against us anyways Matthew is going to make your chances any [Music] worse [Music] come on man thanks a lot you're going to make us lose sorry I love this you should always have Matthew on your team yeah right no one wants him not even his own parents what do you mean oh you don't know he's an orphan isn't that right orphan boy leave me alone James his little boy going to cry God you're pathetic you're never amount to anything in your life you're just going to be a weird Outcast hey I heard that don't talk to Matthew that way are you okay um yeah you want me to report him to the principal no it's okay that'll only make things worse all right you let me know if you change your mind the first step is to apply the shade trap Queen all over your lips what is that oh it's a makeup tutorial on YouTube oh why are you watching that I thought only girls were into that kind of thing uh yeah that's right Sam they are no boys can be into it too I want to be a makeup artist one day here look no I'm sorry I meant uh no more videos at

another foster home we don't think you're a good influence on Sam we're worried that you're rubbing off on them it's nothing personal Matthew why don't you go pack your bag I'll be here waiting for [Music] you check it out is he painting his nails what a freak come on hey Matt uh these seats taken oh no you can sit if you want dude I'm kidding you would never want to sit with you no one does

maybe I could help um I mean I could start by recording makeup tutorials on YouTube but I don't know I'd probably be judged H I'm too shy I can never be a YouTuber you want to know what I say what it doesn't matter what people think because whatever you believe you can achieve you just need to have a little faith and confidence in yourself and you can do anything do you really think people are going to want to watch my videos sure they will I'll even be your first follower I I think you mean subscriber oh yeah sub so I'm a huge fan of live glam's pretty pout lip oil it's application is so

one look at my nails and decided they didn't want me anymore you know it's hard watching kid after kid get adopted when I can't even keep a foster family around longer than a month what's wrong with

Matthew to start his YouTube channel with his mom's support he finally starts to come out of his shell he starts recording all the time making lifestyle videos to show his personality and doing makeup unboxings and tutorials so so many young people relate to him and love his authenticity eventually he ends up gaining a following he even starts getting recognized everywhere he goes several years

will Lancaster live here um it depends who might you be I think I'm his [Music] daughter hi sweetie what's your name Josie Josie Franklin well it's very nice to meet you Josie but I think there's been a little bit of a mistake you used to date my mom Jamie she said she never told you about me Jamie Franklin wow that's been over a decade uh how old are you Josie I'm 10 I'm going to go want to sit down I'm going to need to sit down just give us a sec okay um just stay right [Music] there will what is going on the timing makes sense I mean she could be mine but wasn't Jamie your crazy ex-girlfriend who always used to use you yeah I know and I haven't seen her in years where's your mom did she bring you here we were living on the streets and she passed away recently she told me my dad's name right before so I looked it up on the library computer well why don't you come inside come on in and and wash up the bathroom's right over there and we have plenty of towels what are you doing we don't know this girl can't just let her into our home well what are we supposed to do just put her back in the streets she's a kid even if she gets help she'll be in falser care until she's 18 look if Josie's my daughter I can't let that happen to her what if she's not she could be lying her mom could be lying she could be a total stranger I know that just sounds crazy okay I get that and it's totally unexpected but I feel responsible for that little girl all right so let's just do whatever we can to help or at least find her a good home hey are you hungry yeah do you like pasta according to police records Jamie Franklin is presumed dead without her mother it will take some time to get approval for a DNA test uh so what can we do now well we can take her in or maybe we can sign you up for temporary custody I really don't want her going through the system so we can take her in I mean for [Music] now we're trying to have a kid so maybe this is the universe you know giving us a test run just to be clear well this is only temporary I can help you get started with the paperwork meanwhile I'll try to find other family she may have please as soon as possible you got a bad feeling about all of this this one's cute why don't you try on these and then meet us out here okay all right come on didn't you always want to do this take out a little princess make her look cute

your bedroom and I'll be there in a few okay why would you ask her that you basically are accusing Josie of stealing your bracelet don't you find it a little suspicious that she knew exactly what was missing without me saying anything was a wild guess well I mean can you just please ease up she's just a kid what are you doing just making sure see I told you she didn't steal anything do you feel better now I will feel better once I find my bracelet do you ever consider there's other possibilities besides our daughter being a thief our daughter is that what you're calling her now you haven't even gotten your DNA results back yet okay well regardless of to that family doesn't just require blood I'm going to go find my bracelet press stop bookside Elementary all right there jie I'm going to

been treating her I guess deep down I just feel sad because seeing Josie is a reminder of that we can't that I can't hey it's okay it's okay I understand and I'm sorry that I rushed you into this

you're using counterfeit bills wait there's no way that what did you do I don't know what's going on I swear come on you can explain this all to the cops they're on their way I swear officer this we didn't do anything wrong then how do you explain this counterfeit money huh we got it from someone else someone paid us with it this is all one big misunderstanding you're not going to believe this she's been presumed dead and he has a bunch of warrants out for his arrest mhm going anywhere come on now take it easy this is all your fault she didn't do anything you fell for our trap she have known it was you behind us the whole time always finding ways to use me but this is a new low I have no idea what you're talking about let me give you some advice uh the next time that you're using a kid to scam someone make sure that your idiot boyfriend doesn't pick them up in front of their school I would never do that to my daughter Technically she's not your daughter she's in our custody because you died remember I was going to clear that up you can't prove that I did anything wrong you're wearing the evidence well I wouldn't have to do this if he wasn't such a deadbeat dad he owes me 10 years of child support I never even knew that Josie existed how do I owe you money for not even knowing that I had a daughter I'm not actually your daughter she told me to lie so that she can make money out of you I'm so sorry well this does complicate things seeing as how the mother is alive we're going to have to take her into custody as well just to we sort this out come on let's go follow us it's [Music] okay well I guess you don't have to worry about Josie anymore oh I'm sorry that I didn't listen to [Music] you I didn't bother to take my watches did you see anything missing yeah my PS5 is gone did they take anything else no I don't think so why would some just break in what's wrong nothing I'm fine how was your day good um I have a surprise for you oh yeah what's in the bag oh this too but first Josie hi I don't understand what's going on well I thought about what you said about family doesn't require blood it only requires love and we're adopting Josie that is fantastic Josie welcome to the family again thanks and I'm so sorry oh no no sweetheart that was not your fault we know what happened I have a gift for you really mhm we're going to Disneyland hey oh so cute thanks Leah thanks will and if you want you could call us Mom and Dad I'd love [Music] that where's Dad's ears uh right aha Mr and Mrs Thompson okay evaluation was completed I see you attended our adoption event last month we did and we met the sweetest boy Russell we were hoping that we could finish this process as soon as possible we got his room all set up and ready for him I'm sorry but it looks like Russell had a few potential matches oh he was already adopted well maybe we could look at someone else there had to be a child that didn't get picked at the event I just was pictur and spending my birthday with our child maybe even a trip to Harry Potter World no that would make me so happy is there anything we can do oh my gosh what about the boy over there playing te party he seems adorable yeah that's Michael he's been known to be a bit problematic problematic what do you mean well let's just say none of the parents that tried to adopt Michael lasted for more than 2 weeks and since I've been here he's been through at least six different households that sounds awful I bet that that has had an emotional tolling on him actually he's fine with it it's usually the parents who leave here traumatized and afraid of him my goodness really that sweet boy I don't believe it he just needs a good home with loving parents M I believe that hurt people people hurt people yes can't we take them please I have a really good feeling about this I tell you what let's call this a pre-placement I'll arrange for you both to Foster Michael for 30 days and if it all works out then we can sign the placement agreement I know it'll be a good fit I just I just know it we're going to be his Lucky Seven we'll see and if it all works out and this is a good fit bring this back to me signed okay oh and here's his portfolio H there barely anything in here yeah the kids a mystery what can I tell you are you ready to meet him yeah all right hey Michael can I talk to you for a second

say that it's just the first day it'll get better I'm sure we can assume that it's going to be like this the whole time maybe he just needs to know that we are going to love him no matter what let's not be too loose on the no matter what we have to let him Express himself okay and then we can teach him what's appropriate and what's not appropriate we just can't give up this soon oh look I'm not giving up I'm just giving you my day one review but you're right I'm sure things will get better I guess he found the drums yeah maybe those were a bad idea welome to the Jung he's not for the game

veins I fight gain Breaking All the RO to keep me f oh oh [Music] oh I believe the [Music] C the moment [Applause] I think he'll like it I'm less concerned about the backpacks and more concerned about the teacher's safety honestly should we be signing him up for school our 30 days are almost over what are you talking about we're not taking him back Michael is a part of this family now H not yet we haven't made it official it's not too late I cannot believe what you're saying right now Michael is our son okay sure he's a little rough around the edges but that is no excuse not to accept him he just needs to be loved he doesn't want to be loved Amy if he did he would have found a home by now look we've tried to give him our hearts but all he gives us back is chaos it's like he keeps pushing us away clearly he doesn't want to be here how about we ask Michael since it's going to affect his life as much as it affects ours we should be asking Michael about how he [Music] feels hey M hey Michael can we talk to you Michael Michael I knew it was too quiet in in here Michael Michael Michael [Music] Michael should we call the police yeah where's my phone where were you we really worried relax I just had to go do something if you really worried you would have called you took my phone duh how else was I supposed to get in Uber a $60 Uber ride Michael where did you go it's none of your business you can't just walk away you owe us an explanation you get back here or else I won't or else what you'll send me back to the adoption agency fine I get it you're just another family who doesn't want me I'm used to it by [Music] now it turns out that it wasn't a right match after all yeah I totally understand it's kind of sad because I kind of had a feeling he'd be right back here I wonder when that boy is going to have a family H maybe he could if he just behaved him himself the way he acts is like he wants us to reject him there was that one day when he was really sweet other than that he didn't act like he wanted to be a part of the family it feels like he gave up on us before we gave up on him anyway there's any matches in the future just you know okay um I'll give you guys a call and hopefully if things change we'll try next time okay here's my personal number please give me a call if you have any questions okay still can't believe he spent $60 on a uber I wonder where he went this a home address in land Caster oh no come on Amy just let it go whatever it was it doesn't matter now Mike was always such a mysterious and secretive kid I just wish I'd have got to know him better it might be a source of closure please can we just drive by fine I'll get the keys what are we doing you said you just wanted to drive by I mean we're here so we might as well can I can I help you folks I'm so sorry to bother you but we were wondering if you know a boy named Michael look I told the kid last time he was here that I can't take care of him I've got nothing else to say I'm sorry uh who are you he didn't tell you no I'm his dad like biological father yeah that's probably a better way to say it I really haven't been much of a dad who are you guys we adopted him from almost things didn't work out um he's a little problematic yeah just like his mom we never meant to have kids it kind of just happened and we tried our best but then when his mom passed away I had no choice but to put him up for adoption I couldn't raise a kid by myself isn't that your kid yes he is when we had Michael I wasn't ready and then I was ready when I met my new wife and I think that really killed Michael that I was willing to raise another child but not him that's got to be so hard and I I think that's probably why he comes around every so often to see if I'll change my mind but it's it's just too complicated I I daddy who's there it's no one buddy uh they're just leaving look I really have to go you were right hurt people hurt people imagine just being rejected by your dad like that while you're watching him accepting another child I I feel so bad it's almost as if he rejects every new family because he's afraid of being reject rejected again which is exactly what we did hello Linda speaking Linda oh thank God you answered it's Amy and John Thompson we've changed our minds about Michael we want him back oh I'm sorry um un fortunately you're too late Michael was adopted again and his new family really seems happy with him what no I'm so there has to be something that we can do can you tell us who adopted him I'm sorry that information is confidential but I will let you know if I find another kid for you all right thank you we'll be in touch hey at least now he's a part of a family right well hello there birthday girl it's perfect for Harry Potter world today right yeah I just I don't know if I want to go to Universal or celebrate I'm sorry why not I don't know I I had planned all of this trip with Michael and now that he's gone it just feels like it's going to be different I don't want to be a downer all day hey I promise you're going to have a good time it's your birthday we have to celebrate I really wanted to go please have a blast [Music] please okay all right well how about if Michael comes with us John please don't joke around about that I'm serious what if did you miss me [Music] Michael but how got to call from lenda last week and luckily Michael was at his same old tricks so things didn't work out with this new family oh this is the best birthday present thank you so much for coming back we missed you so much sure hopefully I stay for more than 30 days this time if not I understand oh give me that oh no I'm going to sign that right away I'm not going to wait any longer it's official Michael you're a Thompson and you never

who wants to read from chapter 32 any volunteers May's mom's outside waiting for her right today will be Maya's last day at school because well don't think I need to say it's because she's pregnant yes Alex it's because she's about to have her baby you know in school you're supposed to be a kid not be having one well this wasn't exactly planned maybe if you had been more responsible you wouldn't have you know what never mind you can leave now so sad I would be so embarrassed she's not going to be able to take care of her baby she's going to be a terrible mom even my own mom gave me a really hard time what's wrong all of the kids at school are laughing at me well can you blame them I mean this is really irresponsible of you you know I didn't mean for this to happen Okay what exactly is your plan anyways what do you mean I'm going to keep her not in our house you're not but then where am I supposed to go I don't care that's not my problem clearly you make your own decisions so figure it out but I don't have anywhere else to go go to your boyfriend's house then or to the streets for all I care even her own mom doesn't want her can we please just go I don't want to be here no I need you to experience this so you can see what a huge mistake you've made as a matter of fact walk home what no I can't walk that far Mom Mom you better get used to it young lady cuz you're not going to be living with us for too long [Music] what but worst of all was what my boyfriend did to me hey uh I wasn't expecting you here my mom basically just kicked me out of the house what are you serious yeah whose heels are those those aren't mine uh hey babe what do you make who's she Who Am I who are you and why is she wearing your shirt this is Stacy Stacy this is Maya my ex-girlfriend ex what are

Technical Solutions yes I'm calling to inform you that unfortunately you didn't get the job well is there anything I could do to change your mind I went through three rounds of inter viws surely you see some potential please I really need this job I'll take any position I'm Sorry Miss Martinez but their decision was Final Take Care Now wait wait hello I didn't get the job that means I have to start all over and I don't even have a daycare to take you guys to you don't need to find us a daycare why don't you just take care of us until school starts again I mean honey there's nothing more in the world I would want that to take care of you guys full time but I have to make money how about you can make money while taking care of us you mean like working from home I'm terrible with computers no I mean like stting own daycare you can take take care of us and other kids yeah I like the idea a lot then I would have more fls to play with I can't start my own daycare I don't have any experience yes you do being a great mom counts you help us with our homework and you cook food for us that's with my own kids it's different with other people's kids you took care of Alex and Ro salinda for a long time want had to go back to Mexico yeah but I would have to rent a location and we don't have money saved the last place we were just at was an apartment so what's stopping you from doing it in years and the lady said that dayc cares are way too expensive or they're too cheap and bad how will you be right in the middle I don't know the first thing about starting a business you guys I just don't think I can do it but you always tell us we can do anything in life as long as we set our minds to it well that is unless you didn't mean what you said of course I did right then it settled me and Martin can help you and it's not like you got anything to lose right Martin and Isabella convinced their mom to start her own daycare business the next day they all get to work Isabella helps design the logo while the mom works on getting permits to start the business even little Martin helps out the family starts handing out flyers trying to get the word out about their new daycare people seem excited about an affordable place with great service well most people at least eventually yena starts getting some clients she teaches the kids and does a great job taking care of them the moms love youa and start recommending more parents one year passes by yena is now doing so well that she has more kids and moves into a bigger location she's so happy to not only be making good money but also to be getting to do what she loves you know what I'll be hi I'll be right back what's going on hi um yena I know I have a balance and unfortunately I'm not able to clear that today you see

ladies I don't want any problems so why don't you just go well you got problems hey now don't attack her dayare just because yours isn't doing well well maybe if you had actually paid attention to the kids you were watching and not let them eat things they were allergic to like you did my son you might still be in business hey watch who you're talking to you watch who you're talking to yena has been nothing but a blessing to me and lots of other hardworking parents I will not let you treat her this way how dare you talk to me and my sister like that huh do I need to repeat [Music] myself
