Episode 3: Borrowed children

Yvonne and her husband Artie take in a 15-month-old foster son who social workers say was abandoned by his mother. They take this as a cue that they might be able to adopt him. His hair — red, just like Yvonne’s — also seems like a sign. The first of many moral dilemmas comes the very next day: Would they also care for his 9-year-old brother? They didn't feel prepared for another child, especially an older one, but who were they to keep siblings apart? Their hopes. The system’s goals. What was best for the boys. What was best for their parents. Could it all line up?

Yvonne's story is also being told in words, pictures and video.
