00:00Laura, Kira, I'm feeling really nervous. What about you?
00:03Not nervous. I'm just excited.
00:05Oh, I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin.
00:08What if we can't...
00:08Wait, Miss Davis is ready for you.
00:11Are either of you anything? Water? Coffee?
00:14Do you have any herbal tea?
00:16I'm sorry. No.
00:18I'm running to the store to get some...
00:19Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry about it. It's okay.
00:21It's fine. Who needs a lunch hour?
00:28Mr. and Mrs. Chase.
00:30Well, hi, you two. It's okay, Suzanne. Thank you.
00:33Good to see you.
00:34You too.
00:38Well, I wish to see you on my calendar.
00:42What can I do for you?
00:45We want to adopt a child.
00:48I called because I'm looking into the history of L&B records and clients.
00:55Represented Miguel Moraes.
00:59No kidding.
01:01My chance was touring the days that I asked you about.
01:06You know what?
01:07Sorry, I have to go.
01:08I'll call you back.
01:08Hi, Miss Spencer.
01:17Um, is Rocco here?
01:19I really need to talk to him.
01:22He's upstairs, but...
01:24First, you and I need to do things straight.
01:28You can see more.
01:31Are you threatening to charge Danny with his water?
01:34No.
01:35No, man.
01:36I'm trying to make you understand that what happened last night could have ruined his life.
01:41All because you're not paying enough attention to him.
01:43Hi, I need to take your vitals before the doctor comes in.
01:52No offense, Willow, but I would really prefer another nurse.
01:57Sasha, I'm the mother of mindful students.
02:01And that makes us family.
02:06So we can continue to hate each other or we can accept that we're going to be in each other's lives.
02:12Whether we like it or not.
02:14Tracy.
02:16Curtis.
02:17Do you have a minute?
02:19Actually, I have two starting now.
02:24I couldn't help but notice that you had a meeting with Sidwell, Drew, and Jordan.
02:32And you are wondering why I'm working with someone I love.
02:37Well, I'm guessing it has something to do with taking down Sonny Corinthos.
02:41What I want to know is why do you want to help take Laura down too?
02:47Curtis is never going to turn his back on Mayor Collins.
02:50Well, then you've got to find a way.
02:52Because I'm incredibly patient.
02:55And so far, my patience has got me very little.
02:59I have done everything that you've asked me to do.
03:02I supported you when you announced the Pediatric Sports Initiative.
03:07I had to go for Aurora to give you positive coverage.
03:10But there's a limit.
03:12Curtis is smart.
03:14I push him too hard, he gets suspicious.
03:17Well, then you step up your game.
03:19I mean, I don't really care how you deal with music pillow talk.
03:21It doesn't matter to me.
03:22But you've got to find a way to get Curtis to use the full force of Aurora Media
03:27to drive Sonny Corinthos out of Port Charles.
03:32Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying.
03:37Actually, it's the other way around.
03:41Um, I'm not selling my peers.
03:44Mr. Corinthos, I think you need to hear us out.
03:47You know, I used to try and understand both sides.
04:16But now I get what Sam was worried about, you spending time with Danny.
04:24You want to be, which I get.
04:27And you did that when I was here.
04:29But now that she's gone, he's gone.
04:31Dante, I'm aware of that.
04:32Well, then maybe she'd be aware of the fact, then, that he's got enough friends.
04:36He doesn't need you to be one, too.
04:38He needs a father.
04:40What's going on, Dante?
04:41Oh, why, uh, letting Jason know what I think of him as a father.
04:50Which isn't much.
04:51I need you to tell me everything that happened.
05:00It was all my fault.
05:04Going to the party with me, yeah.
05:05Raku was nervous about me going.
05:08But I convinced him to go, you know.
05:10Fun.
05:12Up there.
05:14Cool.
05:14And you were both drinking?
05:16Yeah.
05:17Then someone invited me to play volleyball.
05:20So I went, and I kind of lost track of Raku.
05:23I saw him again.
05:24I didn't realize how much he had to drink.
05:25But that's all my fault.
05:27Not Raku's.
05:29Look, I knew he felt weird about going.
05:31And I should have paid closer attention.
05:34I was a really, really bad brother to Raku that night.
05:39It will never, ever happen again.
05:42We were incredibly lucky.
05:44Not that we did.
05:47I just want you to remember that.
05:49I will.
05:51Good.
05:53Raku!
05:55Can you come down here?
06:04Hey!
06:04Hey!
06:09I'm so sorry for what happened at the party.
06:23How sorry are you?
06:24Because Raku is cleaning the entire house,
06:26and he could really use some help.
06:30Are you seriously trying to use your children
06:33to smooth things over with me?
06:36Not at all.
06:37I just, I'd like to start over.
06:40Bury the hatchet.
06:42Because we're family.
06:45Of course, for that to be true,
06:47we would have to act like Wiley and Amelia
06:49are Michael's kids.
06:50What are you talking about?
06:51I've always been clear that Michael's their dad.
06:54When was the last time Michael laid ice on his kids?
06:57Christina Arrangeas.
06:58No, not Christina.
06:59You.
07:00What are you doing to keep their dad in their lives
07:04while he is recovering from nearly burning to death?
07:07I went to him, Sasha.
07:08I flew all the way to Germany
07:10because I wanted to fix things with Michael
07:12for our kids' sakes.
07:13He refused to see me.
07:17Laura is a smart woman.
07:22She can take care of herself.
07:24I agree with you about Laura.
07:26Laura, I just have some strategy here.
07:30Hello, mother.
07:32Curtis.
07:33Hey.
07:33Hello, darling.
07:35I'm meeting someone, and I got here real early.
07:37Join us, by all means.
07:39I'd love to.
07:41I was just telling Curtis why he chosen to support Drew
07:44on one issue only.
07:48Sonny Corinthos.
07:50Here we go.
07:51Sonny Corinthos has done a blight on this town
07:55and our family
07:56at every quarter in a test.
08:00Yes, mother.
08:02Sonny has done terrible things with this family,
08:04and no one is disagreeing with you.
08:06I'm not sure that, uh,
08:09weren't you teaming up with another blight
08:11on our family.
08:12True.
08:13Or, Jensen.
08:15Sidwell,
08:16we know very little about this guy.
08:19We have suggested that he's been doing
08:21some questionable things in Africa.
08:24So,
08:24if you open up the news,
08:27Sidwell,
08:28who knows what kind of joke you're doing.
08:32Out of respect to the commissioner,
08:35I'm going to go ahead and listen.
08:38But you're not going to like my answer.
08:40Oh, no consideration.
08:43You two together, right?
08:45I thought you kept better company.
08:48Well,
08:49I recently joined Mr. Sidwell's company
08:51as his COO.
08:53Part of the reason I was excited
08:54to take this off
08:55is because he is a very efficient businessman
08:58with an amazing vision for poor Charles.
09:02Well, congratulations,
09:04but I'm not interested in Sidwell's vision.
09:10Even if war planning is your advantage.
09:14Do you want to make a deal with me?
09:17Yes.
09:18I want to make a deal
09:19that will be to our mutual advantage.
09:22Okay.
09:23You tell me exactly
09:25why you want to help me.
09:28Don't take what Dante just said to heart.
09:36He's coming from a place of pain, you know?
09:39You can't let it get to you.
09:40Yeah, I mean,
09:41he basically said,
09:41I'm a terrible father.
09:43I know.
09:44I know, but
09:45I was with Dante
09:48when he got the call from Cody
09:49that Rocco was in the hospital.
09:52It was like
09:53watching a building fall on someone.
09:56I mean,
09:57you're a dad.
09:59You know what
10:00that kind of a phone call would be like.
10:03And hey,
10:04Rocco,
10:05he's going to be fine.
10:07But Dante knows that
10:08he could have lost his son,
10:09so he's throwing blame everywhere.
10:11And he even attacked Gio
10:13when Gio was just trying to help.
10:14Yeah, well,
10:15attack seems to be Dante's default position.
10:18Well, it is right now.
10:19But
10:20he knows he can't go after Danny,
10:22so,
10:24you know,
10:24he's coming after you.
10:28That's fine.
10:28I can handle it.
10:32I'm just not sure he's wrong
10:34about me.
10:36What do you mean?
10:37I missed a lot of...
10:38Missed a lot of Danny's childhood
10:41for all kinds of reasons.
10:44Not all my fault,
10:45but, you know,
10:45the bottom line is
10:46I wasn't there.
10:47Dante was,
10:48and he still is.
10:50Yeah, but Jason,
10:51everyone knows you.
10:52I love Danny.
10:53I know, I do.
10:54Very much.
10:56But Danny was able
10:57to sneak out to that party
10:58with Rocco
10:59because I was awful, Sonny.
11:01I mean, Dante's right.
11:04I let my son down.
11:06You don't seem to understand
11:07what you're asking me to do.
11:09Actually, I do.
11:11And believe it or not,
11:12I do understand
11:13why you've got a problem
11:14working with me.
11:15I am not working with you.
11:16You're blackmailing me.
11:18I just want
11:19what's best for Port Charles,
11:21and so do you,
11:22and I think we can both agree
11:23that this city
11:24would be safer
11:26without Sonny Corinthos.
11:28Your own daughter
11:29was hurt
11:30by Sonny's violence,
11:31and if there was no Sonny,
11:32then there would have been
11:33no Cyrus,
11:34and then you and Trina
11:35would never have to deal
11:35with that whole hostage nightmare.
11:37I'm sure Trina
11:38still has scars from that.
11:39You're not going to use
11:40my daughter
11:41to manipulate me.
11:42I am just telling you
11:44what you already know,
11:46and once Curtis
11:46stops trying
11:47to tear me down,
11:49then I can concentrate
11:49on doing
11:50what we both know
11:52is the right thing
11:54for Port Charles.
11:58Don't forget the gutters.
12:00The last owner
12:01never cleaned them.
12:02They are going to be
12:03pretty special.
12:05Okay.
12:06We're honest.
12:07Great.
12:07Sorry.
12:13You're stuck here
12:14doing this to me.
12:15Dude,
12:16it's the least I can do.
12:18Man,
12:19I'm really sorry
12:20about the party.
12:22Seriously.
12:23It wasn't your fault.
12:25You didn't make me
12:25drink that punch
12:26or do all those shots.
12:27That was all me.
12:29I'm the one
12:30who got us both in trouble.
12:31Still,
12:32we went to the party together,
12:33and I knew you felt weird
12:34about going.
12:35I should have made sure
12:36we stayed together.
12:38Maybe,
12:38but I mean,
12:39you came looking for me.
12:41You helped me get home.
12:42Yeah,
12:42but I can do better than that.
12:44And from now on,
12:44I will.
12:46Okay,
12:47gentlemen.
12:48I have an appointment
12:49that I need to get to.
12:52Can I trust the two of you
12:53to stay here alone
12:54and not get into any trouble?
12:57Definitely,
12:57Mom.
12:58Great.
12:59And I expect the front
13:00and back porches
13:02to be so clean
13:03you can eat off of them.
13:05And that includes
13:06all the windows.
13:07Okay.
13:07And you need to
13:08deep clean the kitchen.
13:10Do you think
13:11this is something
13:12you can handle
13:12or do I need to
13:13stick around and supervise?
13:14You can trust us.
13:16Your house will be spotless
13:17when you return.
13:18Great.
13:19Because if you
13:20screw this up,
13:21we are going to be back
13:22to square one
13:23on the whole trust thing.
13:25Understood?
13:27Totally.
13:28Yes, ma'am.
13:30Good.
13:30I'll see you soon.
13:45Do you guys
13:46have a back porch, too?
13:50Everyone thinks
13:50I'm a terrible mom
13:51because I want my kids
13:53to live with me and Drew.
13:55Meanwhile,
13:55I fly all the way
13:56to Baden-Baden
13:57and Michael
13:57couldn't even be bothered
13:58to talk to me
13:59about a custody arrangement.
14:00But that doesn't matter.
14:02I'm still the bad guy.
14:03Well, you definitely
14:04paid him back for that.
14:05What are you talking about?
14:06I'm talking about
14:07Drew's ridiculous
14:07press conference.
14:09I'm sure that Michael
14:10saw that
14:11and seeing you
14:12standing there
14:13holding hands
14:14with that sleaze
14:15after he was photographed
14:18doing body shots
14:19off some woman.
14:20I mean,
14:21what is wrong
14:21with you, Willow?
14:22You should have
14:23more self-respect
14:24than that.
14:25Drew was drugged.
14:26Only you believe that.
14:29And you believe it
14:29because you have to.
14:30Nobody tells me
14:31what to believe.
14:32But people have.
14:34And you fell right in line
14:35when they did.
14:36Are you really saying that?
14:38You tore your life apart
14:40for Drew?
14:42And if you had to
14:43admit to yourself
14:44that you did
14:44the wrong thing
14:45for the wrong guy,
14:46you would probably fall
14:47into a thousand pieces.
14:49But I'm sorry.
14:49Drew is the wrong guy.
14:52I tried to salvage
14:54our relationship
14:55for our kids' sakes.
14:56That was obviously
14:56a mistake.
14:58I'll send in
14:59another nurse.
15:05Measure C
15:06was supposed to be
15:07a vote on where
15:08to build the Esplanade.
15:10But thanks to
15:11Ezra Boyle
15:11and Drew Kane,
15:13it became, um,
15:14well,
15:15became a referendum
15:16on you,
15:17Mr. Karekos.
15:19So I heard
15:20trying not to get
15:22my feelings here.
15:25Well, you can
15:25fight the measure.
15:27It would be
15:27time-consuming
15:28and very costly.
15:30And you could still
15:31lose your properties
15:32to eminent domain.
15:33And you'd cause
15:34even more negative
15:35publicity to fall
15:36on Mayor Collins.
15:38And given how close
15:38you two are,
15:39is that something
15:40you really want to do?
15:41What are you proposing?
15:46Circumvent
15:46the democratic process.
15:49Make a fortune
15:50while you're at it.
15:52Sell your peers to me.
15:58Look,
15:58you don't have to
15:59take my word
16:00about not trusting
16:00Sidwell.
16:03But I think
16:04we can agree
16:04that a bottom feeder
16:06like Ezra Boyle
16:07is terrible
16:07for poor Charles.
16:08Think what you want
16:10about Sonny,
16:11but he's a known entity.
16:12What you see
16:13is what you get.
16:13In his own way,
16:14he's kind of like
16:15a civic-minded
16:16criminal.
16:19I have my issues
16:21with Sonny as well.
16:23I encourage you
16:24to think long
16:25and hard
16:27about joining forces
16:28with Sidwell.
16:30I have to go.
16:31It's nice seeing you both.
16:33Curtis.
16:33Good God.
16:38If one more person
16:40tells me
16:41that Sonny Corinthos
16:42has been good
16:42for poor Charles,
16:43I'm going to lose
16:44my mind.
16:44Don't you start.
16:46I wouldn't dream
16:47of defending Sonny.
16:49Besides,
16:50there are so many
16:51better things
16:52that we could be
16:52talking about.
16:54Like the fact
16:55that Brooklyn
16:56and Chase
16:56are meeting
16:57Alexis today
16:59to discuss
17:00adopting a child.
17:01Alexis?
17:04Isn't that a little
17:05claustrophobic?
17:09Who better
17:10to help my daughter?
17:12Well,
17:12to each his own.
17:14So,
17:15how do you feel
17:16about becoming
17:17a grandfather?
17:19Well,
17:19I'm still
17:20wrapping my brain
17:22around it.
17:23How did you feel
17:25about becoming
17:25a grandmother?
17:27Oh,
17:27I was sure
17:29I was going to hate it.
17:31And I really do.
17:34We wanted to talk
17:35to a lawyer
17:35because we need
17:36an expert
17:36to take us
17:37through all our options.
17:38We want to make sure
17:39that nothing can go wrong
17:41from a legal perspective.
17:42To be honest,
17:44you should know
17:44adoptions are quite complicated.
17:46There's a lot of factors.
17:48Okay?
17:49Before we get
17:49our hopes up,
17:50can we discuss
17:51some of the things
17:52that might disqualify
17:53people from becoming
17:54adoptive parents?
17:56Like what?
17:56like if
18:01I've had a baby
18:02in the past
18:03and gave it up.
18:10I got pregnant
18:11when I was a teenager,
18:13gave the baby up
18:13for adoption.
18:15The adoption
18:15was sealed.
18:17I have never
18:17made an effort
18:18to find my child
18:19who
18:20by now
18:21is a legal adult
18:22and my child
18:23has never made
18:24an effort
18:24to find me.
18:26And you're worried
18:27that your previous
18:27pregnancy
18:28will be held
18:29against you?
18:29I'm petrified
18:30it will disqualify us.
18:32Well, it's no secret
18:33that I too
18:35was pregnant
18:35when I was a teenager
18:36and I gave up
18:37my daughter,
18:38Sam,
18:39for adoption
18:39and everyone's
18:41circumstances
18:41are specific
18:42to them
18:43but I want you
18:45to know
18:45that I'm pretty sure
18:46I know how you feel.
18:48Sure.
18:49I'm also happy
18:50to tell you
18:51that agencies
18:52typically
18:53focus on
18:54current situations
18:55not the past.
18:57Oh, that's great
18:58because we really
18:59want a family.
19:00We're ready
19:00to be parents.
19:02If I could be
19:03half the dad
19:03in mine was,
19:04I'd be happy.
19:05Gregory would be
19:06very happy
19:07to hear you say that.
19:09I feel the same way.
19:10My childhood
19:11was untraditional
19:12but like Chase's
19:13it was filled
19:14with the kind of love
19:15that I want
19:16to give
19:16to our child.
19:21What do you mean
19:22you hate
19:22being a grandmother?
19:24You love it!
19:25You're finally
19:26the undisputed boss!
19:28I've always
19:28been the boss.
19:30It's just that
19:30my work was always
19:31behind the scenes
19:33and it went
19:34unnoticed.
19:35Now I'm out front
19:35trying to protect
19:36my family
19:37and my efforts
19:40are completely
19:41unappreciated.
19:43What are you
19:44talking about?
19:45Why aren't you
19:46rallying around
19:47to help me
19:47oust Sonny?
19:49I'm on your side.
19:51Well if that's true
19:52then why don't you
19:52stand up to
19:53Lois and Brooklyn
19:55and Olivia
19:56when they all
19:58gather together
19:59to worship
19:59the altar of Sonny?
20:01Because I learned
20:02a long time ago
20:04with Lois
20:04that when it comes
20:05to Sonny
20:07we just had to
20:09agree to disagree.
20:10And at least
20:12with Olivia
20:12I knew what I was
20:13getting myself into
20:14because of their
20:15parental relationship.
20:17And to be clear
20:17none of them
20:19have ever asked
20:20me to
20:21ignore the fact
20:22that Sonny
20:23is a mobster.
20:25Well I am
20:26asking you
20:27my beloved
20:28firstborn
20:29to help me
20:30with the campaign
20:30for yes
20:32on C
20:33no
20:34on Sonny
20:35Corinthos.
20:36You're already
20:37bankrolling the effort.
20:39Why do you even
20:39need my help?
20:40Because money
20:41isn't the only
20:42thing that talks.
20:44Sonny has
20:45our current
20:46mayor
20:47on his side
20:48and I have
20:49you
20:49our former
20:51mayor.
20:52And your
20:53endorsement
20:53means something
20:55to people.
20:57Your phone
20:58is vibrating.
21:01Oh
21:02Lucy
21:02Coe
21:03her
21:04sole motivation
21:06in life
21:06is annoying me.
21:08I have to take this.
21:10You have a decision
21:10to make
21:11mom
21:13or mob.
21:18Yes
21:18Lucy.
21:19If you want to
21:20spend more time
21:20with your son
21:21then I'm all
21:23for it.
21:24But if you're
21:25doing it because
21:25of what Dante
21:26said
21:27don't.
21:29I mean
21:29he's too
21:30close to the
21:31situation
21:32to put what
21:32happened
21:33into perspective.
21:34I know
21:35I understand
21:35how Dante
21:36feels.
21:37Yeah
21:37we all do
21:38but
21:38look what
21:40happened
21:40with those
21:40boys
21:41is serious
21:41and each
21:42and every
21:42one of us
21:43need to
21:44put the
21:44fear of
21:44God
21:45into them
21:45to make
21:46sure it
21:46never
21:46happens
21:47again.
21:49Agreed.
21:50They're way
21:50too young
21:50to be
21:51drinking.
21:52Agreed.
21:54Also
21:54Rocco
21:56really
21:56looks up
21:57to Danny
21:58and
21:58follows him
21:59around.
22:00I mean
22:00there's nothing
22:01wrong with
22:01that.
22:01You know
22:02it's just
22:02the way
22:02it is.
22:04But
22:04Danny
22:05needs to
22:05realize he
22:06can't lead
22:07Rocco
22:07around
22:08by the
22:08nose.
22:10I didn't
22:10know that
22:11was happening.
22:11I guess
22:12I should
22:12have.
22:13Look
22:13you give
22:14Danny
22:14a lot
22:15of latitude
22:15you know
22:16but he
22:17also knows
22:18that he
22:19can count
22:20on you.
22:22Jason
22:22you're
22:24a really
22:24great
22:25dad.
22:29Thank
22:29you for
22:29saying that
22:30but Danny
22:32needs to be
22:33my priority
22:33and for that
22:34to happen.
22:34I need
22:37to make
22:38some
22:38changes.
22:42After all
22:43this my
22:43parents are
22:43going to be
22:44watching every
22:44move we
22:45make for a
22:45long time.
22:48Okay
22:48man you
22:48just got to
22:49earn their
22:49trust back.

23:01mom?

23:02an appointment

23:03weren't done
23:04cleaning by
23:04the time

23:06bad.
23:07Wow

23:15more soap

23:17Sure.
23:24Listen I
23:25know I'm
23:25in a lot
23:26of trouble
23:26and I
23:27shouldn't
23:27be asking
23:27for any
23:28favors
23:28but can
23:30you please
23:30not unload
23:31on Danny
23:32when he

31:53as I would
31:54like to
31:54farm out
31:55that particular
31:55conversation
31:56I'll have to
31:57do it
31:58myself
31:58there's
32:02nothing
32:02better at
32:03creating
32:03family
32:04fiction
32:04than a
32:05political
32:06discussion
32:06when you
32:08were mayor
32:08how often
32:09did you
32:09wish you
32:09were still
32:10on the
32:10road
32:10with the
32:10idle rich
32:11oh all
32:12the time
32:13those were
32:14the days
32:15I'll bet
32:15when did
32:17you stop
32:18touring
32:18oh years
32:19ago
32:20and then
32:21Lois she
32:22still continued
32:23to manage
32:23you
32:23yes she
32:24did but
32:25Miguel Mraz
32:27was her
32:27main focus
32:28he was
32:29her big
32:30money maker
32:31he was
32:32huge back
32:33then
32:33she went
32:34on the
32:34road with
32:34him all
32:35the time
32:35she got
32:35to see
32:36the world
32:36with Miguel
32:37that really
32:38sounds amazing
32:39but how did
32:40Brooklyn handle
32:41being away
32:41from her mom
32:42so much
32:42obviously she
32:44really missed
32:44her but I
32:46think she
32:46really loved
32:46staying with
32:47Carmine and
32:48Gloria and
32:48then when
32:49Brooklyn got
32:50older Lois
32:51actually took
32:51her out of
32:52high school
32:52to go on
32:53tour with
32:53her
32:53most prospective
32:55parents work
32:56with agencies
32:57but there's
32:58also the
32:59possibility of
33:00a private
33:00adoption
33:01then there's
33:02the question
33:03of whether
33:03you want
33:03it open
33:04or closed
33:05and these
33:05days birth
33:05parents have
33:06that choice
33:06I didn't
33:07know that
33:08things have
33:09evolved
33:09there are
33:10some parents
33:11that don't
33:12want any
33:12contact with
33:13the child
33:13after it's
33:14given up
33:14for adoption
33:15and there
33:15are others
33:16that want
33:16to keep
33:16the door
33:17open
33:17for the
33:18possibility
33:18of a
33:18relationship
33:19in the
33:19future
33:20either way
33:21both are
33:21protected
33:22legally
33:22but adoptive
33:24parents
33:25always have
33:26full custody
33:26so are you
33:29leaning toward
33:29anything
33:30we prefer a
33:32closed adoption
33:33we're definitely
33:35planning on telling
33:36our child that
33:36they're adopted
33:37but we feel like
33:38them having a
33:39relationship with
33:40their birth parents
33:40might be confusing
33:41unless you think
33:42it's too early
33:43no no no no no
33:44I think it's a
33:45very good idea
33:45to set boundaries
33:46before you get
33:47started
33:48at least we got
33:49that part right
33:50how soon will
33:51we be able to
33:52adopt a child
33:53that's really
33:54hard to say
33:54now I do
33:56know some
33:56very good
33:57private adoption
33:58attorneys and
33:59I will reach out
34:00to them and
34:01they'll see if
34:02one of their
34:02clients
34:03is coming in
34:04and wants to
34:05give their
34:05child up for
34:05adoption
34:06that would
34:06be amazing
34:07I'm gonna
34:08warn you about
34:08something though
34:09this process
34:10could take a
34:11while
34:12it's very
34:13unpredictable
34:14and you're
34:15gonna feel like
34:15you don't have
34:16much control
34:16over anything
34:17so prepare
34:19yourself to be
34:19patient and
34:21know that this
34:22process could
34:23take a long
34:23time
34:24I didn't expect
34:28to see you
34:29here today
34:29am I gonna
34:30get you in
34:30trouble talking
34:31while you're
34:31on the clock

34:32did I wouldn't
34:33care I'm
34:34really glad
