I'm not sure if it would be wise

with your first placement to-

What are you saying?

I'm suggesting that Evans might try your

love and patience beyond what you might think.

We'll take him.

- Could we have a minute?

- Sure.

Aaron, did you see him?

Are you sure about this?

- Yes, I'm sure.

- Shouldn't we think about this a little?

No, I don't want you to think

yourself out of this one.

What?

- Why do you always just give up?

- How is this my fault?

You can't keep bringing Ethan into this. You

have no idea how hard that night was for me.

You have no idea how hard it was

for me. I live with that every day.

I've always wanted more

children and you know that.

I almost lost you that night Stacy, and I

wasn't willing to put your life at risk again.

But this is different. We can't

have anymore, and I'm okay with that.

But that doesn't mean we can't have him.

He needs us. He's even ten years old.

We'll take him.

Okay...

But you need to know more. I've known Evans all

his life. He came here when I was just an intern.

I've watched him over the years.

Every time he moves, he gets worse.

If you take him and give up on him,

I have very little hope that he'll

ever have a chance at a normal life.

We won't fail.

I want you to seriously

consider this step you're taking.

Evans has a lot of

behavioral problems.

There's some things I need to tell

you before you agree to take him.

First of all, he's been known to throw

himself at people and attack them.

He can be dangerous to younger children.

He also suffers from night terrors...

You don't need to be

shy. It'll be fine.

What do you like to do?

Most of my old toys are for girls, but

you can play with them if you want to.

Do you like to watch TV?.

What's your favorite show?

This is your new home, Buddy.

Well, let's show him his room.

Okay. I'll start some dinner.

I think you're really gonna like it.

Do you like it? Mom and I spent a lot

of time shopping and cleaning and stuff.

There just used to be a lot

of boxes and junk in here.

I thought this was the perfect color.

We weren't really sure...

Maybe we should just give

him some time to himself.

I thought you might like green.

If you want to stay here for now that's

fine. We'll come get you when supper is ready.

Heavenly Father, we thank you

for bringing Evans to our family,

and we ask your blessing

on this undertaking.

We thank you for the blessing

of being able to provide for him,

and we ask that in time, he

would learn to call this his home.

We thank you for the food, and

we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

This looks good. Thanks, Honey.

Would you like some water?

Evans, it's dinner time,
