00:00:00
foreign [Music] how old were you when you were adopted I was nine and that's what I wanted
00:00:18
I want to feel loved and I want a family [Music] I wanted a lot of children you see your friends having children and
00:00:34
you try and you can't it was difficult when we finally learned that we were going to be able to go over
00:00:40
to Russia and pick up a little boy and girl of our own it was just a tremendous event and we were very excited
00:00:47
we had seen pictures of the children and they were beautiful [Music] how did the agency describe currently a
00:00:56
wonderful outgoing intelligent little girl loved to be around all ages of children and desperately looking for
00:01:03
parents was that an accurate description no it was not no [Music] after we returned home we would see her
00:01:15
staring off into the distance blankly in a trance-like state she started to stand
00:01:20
over our bed at night wake up and she'd be right over my face there was a coldness in her and an anger
00:01:27
and just a distance she became someone I didn't know at all I mean at all Carolee began stealing everything in the
00:01:38
house she stole all my jewelry our knives were disappearing she would do things like putting a kitten in the
00:01:44
middle of a pack of dogs cruel type behavior and then she snapped and tried to kill Joshua she had him in
00:01:53
her hands and was going to throw him over the deck she had him yes yes over the side here yes and I just
00:01:59
started screaming put him down Carolee put him down what are what are you doing kill him
00:02:07
I called the psychiatrist what am I going to do you know what what did we do she's becoming violent doctor there was
00:02:14
no question in your mind that Carolee is a very troubled little girl no there's no question in my mind about it at all
00:02:20
this child I would consider to be a homicide risk she's been on all kinds of medication
00:02:27
and none of it has worked we've had cameras installed and we've had alarms installed on her doors
00:02:35
you know I don't know what the solution is what am I going to do [Music] I'm gonna get you the best help we can
00:02:44
okay I did not try to kill my brother I love him Oh My Darling I've done many stories during the course
00:02:57
of my career but this was one that that really stuck with me you want to rescind
00:03:04
the adoption we feel like we tried everything it hit me in my heart so you plan on taking
00:03:12
Carolee back to Russia yes yes I felt helpless leaving her behind I didn't know what would become of her
00:03:30
you're a strong girl strong girl you're gonna be fine okay don't cry [Music] thank you
00:04:26
[Music] oh Joshua I don't see him Mama [Music] more than two decades ago an American
00:04:46
couple adopted this little girl from Russia 30 seconds ago he was terrified of her they soon came to believe she was
00:04:53
dangerous hurry even capable of murder you take care okay you're strong I was with them when they brought her back to
00:05:02
Russia and left her covering the story changed my life and left me steeped in a haunting mystery
00:05:09
that began when the couple first arrived in Moscow hoping to find the perfect child
00:05:21
I think it's innate in every woman to want to be a good parent to have children and to share your life
00:05:27
[Music] there's Crystal she's tired often comments would be made about well when
00:05:34
are you gonna have children it was hard we thought this is going to be a wonderful Journey
00:05:45
Moscow 1997. Crystal and Jesse we agreed not to use their last name are both 30 and have
00:05:55
tried for years to have a child of their own it was something we really wanted to
00:05:59
do we wanted to parent we really wanted a house full far away from home they're finally about to become parents we
00:06:07
really wanted to give a child an opportunity adoptive parents I was adopted myself I know the benefits that
00:06:13
adoption can bring they found their daughter on an adoption agency's webpage posted on the internet she was a
00:06:21
beautiful child for them she was the perfect child a blonde blue-eyed nine-year-old we thought you know this
00:06:29
is an older child we can give a normal life before leaving for Russia the adoption agency gave them the little
00:06:36
girls medical records the agency described Carolee as a wonderful outgoing intelligent little girl who is
00:06:44
charming to be around you understood though that adopting an older child carries certain risks absolutely certain
00:06:52
risks [Music] they took an eight-hour train ride from Moscow to an orphanage in the small town
00:07:01
of borovichi they already paid nearly thirty thousand dollars to make all the necessary
00:07:08
arrangements and the child they called Carolee was anxiously awaiting their arrival she looked in my eyes very
00:07:18
warmly you're my mama she called you a mama she didn't from the very beginning my American mama she said at the
00:07:25
orphanage the couple would not only adopt Carolee they also found her a baby brother a three-year-old they would name
00:07:33
Joshua it was exciting but there were signs that the road ahead might be Rocky we did see the anger but it could be
00:07:42
explained certainly a child arriving to a new culture a new family you know leaving her home that's the only thing
00:07:48
she's ever known back in the United States the family settled into a brand new home in a comfortable suburb of
00:07:54
Atlanta a short commute to Jesse's computer engineering job we tried to make it very homey for her
00:08:02
and happy he's a little princess Daddy tried to give her everything we thought a little girl should have but the
00:08:08
beautiful little girl was having big problems as soon as we brought her home she was very very withdrawn and
00:08:14
isolating didn't cry at all but just very angry it was nothing they thought a little love couldn't fix
00:08:23
I spent all the time with her I quit my job I gave her 100 of me it wasn't working they say off camera she started
00:08:31
acting badly she just began becoming very destructive then the unthinkable happened
00:08:39
on carolee's second Christmas in America things seem to have started off caroly's got a new bike and we were
00:08:49
learning how to ride it she had never ridden one before I really thought that everything was
00:08:55
going great it was not long after when Crystal heard the horrible sound so I was over planting and I heard Josh was
00:09:03
screaming crystal says that's when she first saw Carolee holding her four-year-old
00:09:09
brother Joshua over the railing of the 30-foot High deck she had him yes yes over the side here yes
00:09:18
this wasn't rough housing no her face there was anger and hate crystal says that moment changed everything I'm gonna
00:09:27
kill him she said um why why mad at him what did he do he's getting on my nerves
00:09:34
I said you would kill him for trying to get on your nerves certainly you don't mean it you don't mean kill him and she
00:09:40
said yes I do but can you do this we asked Joshua about it are you afraid of Carol Lee yes because
00:09:52
she tried to throw out for that because she tried to throw you off the desk that's why I'll forever
00:10:15
[Music] are you worried that she's going to do something to you right now because she's
00:10:22
not mommy's here Crystal and Jesse's relationship with Carole Lee was in free fall after the incident involving Joshua
00:10:31
on the Family's 30-foot outdoor deck she started telling me you know I'm hearing
00:10:37
voices and I'm seeing things she says when the voices tell her to do something she has
00:10:42
to do it or they'll hurt her and the voices she said told her to kill him she was hallucinating that she was seeing
00:10:49
snakes the couple had her admitted to a psychiatric hospital spent almost four months under constant
00:10:56
care before Crystal and Jesse say their insurance started running out and they were forced to bring Carol Lee back into
00:11:04
their home again this is what you see yes she's repeated this for months on multiple occasions if I get another
00:11:13
chance I will kill him and she told us that too try to um call Joshua so they're installing an elaborate
00:11:24
security system so you have cameras installed at various points in the house yes in the living room her bedroom her
00:11:32
bathroom Cara Lee is forbidden to be alone with Joshua is he safe no that's on me I had to get help that's
00:11:42
why you have to get out she is a risk to the family members Dr Brian Kennedy was one of the
00:11:51
psychiatrists who saw Carolee she's got a tremendous amount of rage and anger that she's hidden inside her there's
00:12:00
clear evidence of a clinical depression there is definitely clear evidence of an
00:12:07
attachment disorder um now there may be other developing psychiatric difficulties such as bipolar
00:12:15
illness or schizophrenia she was given heavy medication but they say the medications aren't
00:12:24
working I'm gonna get you the best help you can okay it's gonna be all right you love her but you're frightened of
00:12:32
her yes the anger that she has focused towards Joshua is like something I've never seen before
00:12:43
four-year-old boy should never have to ask their parents the question why did my sister try to kill me
00:12:49
but since being home from the psychiatric hospital there's already been another frightening incident they
00:12:56
say Carolee tried strangely the family dog Aurora we woke up at three in the morning and Aurora was hung from her
00:13:04
collar with the leash tied to a Poe I'll go go to my grandma's today so Joshua's
00:13:11
being sent 600 miles away to live at his grandmother's house in Texas why do we have to send him to Grandma's to keep
00:13:19
him safe because I may hurt him just imagine you think you're bringing a bright girl to your home but no one's
00:13:27
told you that they're sociopathic and they have no conscience in fact they say the agency that
00:13:33
arranged carolee's adoption the Frank Foundation told them the opposite Carol Lee is mostly nice she's open she's
00:13:42
tender she's obedient she's friendly nothing in that sentence would lead you to question wow could there be you know
00:13:50
a tremendous variety of hidden medical issues here it was a glowing report except for one thing they did say she
00:13:58
was a ligophrenic translated then as mental retardation but the couple says they asked about it and we're told not
00:14:06
to worry they stated that it was developmental delay just slow to learn and we were assured that this job was
00:14:13
healthy and that in a good home with proper nutrition with the best of doctors in America helping her with the
00:14:20
developmental issues that she should be fine only after the adoption was official
00:14:25
Crystal and Jesse say did the Frank Foundation provide them with more documents that revealed troubling things
00:14:31
about carolee's past says the mother was amoral and anti-social you know these types of words are very loaded they
00:14:39
carry a lot of psychological meaning the new documents described how caralee's birth mother left her dirty
00:14:49
hungry and in rags Crystal and Jesse believed the mistreatment had a lasting effect on Carolee
00:14:57
when I dreamed of adopting a little girl this was not my dream we would not have adopted the child you
00:15:04
would not have adopted her no we would not have and as they continued digging into
00:15:10
Curley's past they found out more officials at the orphanage say currently was in a special dorm for children with
00:15:18
mental disabilities critical information the couple says the adoption agency failed to share with them you didn't
00:15:25
hide any information never and why would it back then Nina castina a Russian emigre ran the Frank Foundation
00:15:34
she set the medical information she received was limited by Russian privacy laws but adopt the parents once in
00:15:42
Russia can get anything they need once the parents are in the orphanage they have access to any medical records
00:15:49
to do to the doctors to anything and this is their time when they should ask any questions
00:15:55
so it's their fault I'm not telling food I'm telling that this is their obligation this is
00:16:00
Lifetime decision they should do it while they're in the orphanage when we first cover the story more than two
00:16:06
decades ago Nina castina said that no information happened with hell from the family
00:16:11
but at the time 48 Hours spoke with eight families who adopted through the Frank foundation and they all said they
00:16:18
had received inaccurate medical information their children had been diagnosed with illnesses like fetal
00:16:25
alcohol syndrome hepatitis C brain tumors and a slew of psychological problems they claim the Frank Foundation
00:16:33
didn't prepare them for three of the families who spoke with sued but lost Crystal and Jesse feel like they're out
00:16:43
of options so as Joshua leaves for the safety of his grandmother's home in Texas oh I'm
00:16:49
gonna miss you so much they make a painful decision we cannot continue to be your parents
00:16:58
they say the only way their son can return home is to send Kara Lee away forever we've been here every day loving
00:17:06
her nurturing her helping her we couldn't save her [Music] time to go get your picture made dearly
00:17:31
she has so many psychological problems what we're going to do is we can get your picture made today she is a danger
00:17:38
to society but more than that she's a danger to our son so you still like to get your picture
00:17:43
taken after all this time the fact of the matter is that we cannot be her parents anymore one two three
00:17:51
Crystal and Jesse are about to do something that's difficult to imagine honey did you want to see us they are
00:17:59
taking Carolee back to Russia and China there are parents out there that will not be able to understand what you're
00:18:07
about to do if I hadn't I might have been the very same thing that I expect to hear from them why how could you do this
00:18:17
how could you do this it's a long trip you need skeptic color there must be a family somewhere in America that would
00:18:23
adopt her we thought that there would be a family out there how are you today and
00:18:28
we've actually spoken to a few families in every case so far after reviewing the
00:18:32
medical information she tried to throw my son off a very high deck they've said thanks but no thanks they have told
00:18:38
Carol Lee they're taking her to a new hospital how are they going to stay in there but she has no idea it's a
00:18:47
psychiatric hospital in Russia this 12 year old girl has been abandoned by her birth parents and now her adoptive
00:18:54
parents are also rejecting her well it's not a case of her adoptive parents rejecting her but that's when she's
00:19:00
going it's going to be okay of her adoptive parents not being able to care for her
00:19:08
what's wrong honey but you have to understand psychiatrist tells that Carolee has no bonding no affection
00:19:17
I think the best thing in the world for her is a good night's sleep I do too so Carolee most likely will just move on
00:19:24
it looks cruel to me cruel and not thoughtful Nina castina the woman who arranged carolee's adoption is
00:19:31
distraught over the decision I feel very sorry for her for her part she questions
00:19:37
whether Kara Lee is even that sick they say that she tried to kill her little brother
00:19:44
this is what they say she tried to kill the family dog she's extremely violent that's what they say yes do you believe
00:19:50
it that's what they say psychiatrist Brian Kennedy says Carolee suffers from attachment disorder in effect an
00:20:00
inability to love and that he says makes her dangerous it's hard for me to digest
00:20:06
because when I look at her she seems like a very sweet little girl and smiles and laughs she does love to smile and
00:20:14
laugh and I think in certain situations that are non-stressful for her she presents as a very amiable child but I
00:20:23
think when you look at what she's been through and when you see how she functions under stress she can become
00:20:29
very different and have very significant rage she has thought about killing her brother she has tried to kill him and
00:20:36
she could not give me assurances that she wouldn't kill him others who treated Carolee had concerns as well but at
00:20:43
least one psychiatrist had another opinion after treating Cara Lee he wrote carolee's Behavior was impeccable he
00:20:51
said the staff perceive that Chris and Jesse were too often cool and distant towards their daughter and that Carolina
00:20:58
times appeared to be frightened by her interactions with them Carolee is a very different person when you really get to
00:21:06
know her it took me a year and a half to break through the facade they have made up their minds Cara Lee
00:21:14
must return to Russia [Music] the doctors in America have told me that if she returns home she will kill my son
00:21:26
I believe them she's already tried it once it's very strong possibility she'll try it again
00:21:31
with success they tapped into their life savings to bring Cara Lee here to be treated by Russian doctors they have
00:21:39
worked with kids from Russian orphanages they found a bed for Carole Lee at this
00:21:43
children's psychiatric hospital in Moscow but they don't hold out much hope and they're now thinking about annulling the
00:21:52
adoption doctors suspected they were trying to abandon her and demanded copies of their passports and made them
00:21:59
promise to return for Carolee in two months Caroline understands that she is here to be treated by Russian
00:22:06
Specialists and that's all she's here for at the time but she does not understand that you will not be
00:22:12
returning for no that's not the case at this time the only thing we're stating is that she's here for a diagnosis and
00:22:18
an evaluation but Carolee senses something is terribly wrong they told me that they love me and everything after
00:22:28
them I love them very much [Music] but didn't believe me then just a few minutes before she'll enter the hospital
00:22:37
Carolee tells me something she's never told me before I did not try to kill other that she never tried to kill her
00:22:45
brother Joshua you didn't try to kill Joshua you're telling me the truth cause he was too heavy Carol Lee says it
00:22:59
was all a big misunderstanding I love him I'm a dad interested but there's no turning back you've
00:23:11
pursued every possible Avenue and this is the only thing you can do this is this is the only thing we can do
00:23:19
honey Crystal and Jesse left her there days later I returned with a hidden camera and visited Carolee hey guys now
00:23:37
in a locked Ward I'm the same stay here she was frightened America I'm scared staying here but
00:23:46
Crystal and Jesse have made a final decision getting ready back to the airport it's been a long trip good oh
00:23:53
USA they're not bringing Carolee back [Music] hey the last time I saw Carole Lee was
00:24:18
in Russia more than 20 years ago she was terrified she was in a locked ward in a
00:24:25
children's psychiatric hospital the door slam Shack and I wasn't sure if I'd ever
00:24:32
see her again [Music] over the years we've repeatedly tried to find her I always wondered how she was
00:24:41
doing if she was thriving if she was happy [Music] many years passed she was in my thoughts and in my heart
00:24:53
hey oh my gosh and finally she got in touch with me now she calls herself Sabrina look at
00:25:05
you and is married with four children what have you been doing over the last 21 years making babies so beautiful we
00:25:14
met near her home in North Carolina we have a lot to catch up on yeah I had a thousand questions for Sabrina how did
00:25:23
she end up here what she says happened on that deck that day and what she thought went wrong with Jesse and
00:25:32
Crystal you like her that's it you liked him I did it was a family that said hey
00:25:39
I will adopt this child and I would like to give them a home and they will love me for who I am
00:25:45
but to Sabrina back then it seemed that Joshua was always the favorite did that create any jealousy it didn't create
00:25:54
jealousy I felt more down I felt like I wasn't good enough I felt like I wasn't this child that they wanted because I
00:26:03
was I was older I had my own feelings I already had a history you know I loved that he was
00:26:12
getting loved he was having a family yes it sucked for me you didn't have an emotional connection with Crystal and
00:26:19
Jesse because Joshua was so centered I think we lost it I think it was just lost
00:26:25
I was starting to become very depressed it came to the point I was very suicidal
00:26:30
suicidal I was very suicidal there were days I tried to attempt multiple times and I just couldn't do it
00:26:40
so when I started creating a story I told Crystal you know I'm seeing and hearing things are you saying something
00:26:47
new did you see something earlier because I want it out I I wanted out so were you hallucinating at that time no
00:27:01
no hearing no seeing things it's just a child trying to get out she had him in her hands and was going to throw him
00:27:07
over the deck and as for what happened on the deck Sabrina has a decidedly different version of events from Crystal
00:27:14
that she says started when Crystal asked her to get Joshua Crystal was gardening
00:27:20
and Joshua was screaming on top of the deck crystal said I needed to go get Joshua
00:27:26
trying to pick up a child that's really almost as big as you is kind of hard so I'm trying to walk down the steps just
00:27:34
able to hold them so he doesn't fall Crystal looked and she said put him down Carolee put him down put it
00:27:42
I eventually put him down and she's like you try to kill him didn't you and I said no I was trying to pick him up so
00:27:47
he doesn't fall because he was sliding off my hands and she's like no you were trying to kill him and she kept
00:27:54
saying it and saying it and I said yes so I just I finally said yes Sabrina repeated that story that she
00:28:01
tried to kill Joshua to everyone including me what happened that day out on the deck
00:28:09
you're trying to push him off the deck shy to um call Joshua what happened on that deck seemed to
00:28:21
take on a life of its own Crystal brought Sabrina to various doctors I went to psychiatrist as a psychiatrist
00:28:30
and I remember Chris to say just remember we wanted to kill Joshua I said okay I will tell him Dr Kennedy said you
00:28:38
were potentially schizophrenic bipolar you had homicidal Tendencies and you were a danger to this family
00:28:47
that's hard to hear hurt somebody it would have been done and that never happened I'm not that person I was never
00:28:57
that person today Sabrina says she is not on any medication and suffers from no mental illness a number of doctors
00:29:06
back then though seemed to think she needed help we tried to contact Dr Kennedy but have been unable to reach
00:29:13
him you were also accused of trying to kill the family dog I don't know where that came from
00:29:20
because I love that dog that's okay how did you learn that you were going back to Russia
00:29:29
crystal said they were running out of options and they think the Russian Institute will be
00:29:40
better so how is it going here not good why how did that make you feel when you're sitting there in the
00:29:48
hospital in Moscow waiting for them to return to pick you up and they didn't I felt so guilty
00:30:01
because I wanted to take care of it I wanted you to take me I was like why is nobody taking me I just bought it out
00:30:08
Sabrina said she cried and was frightened I feel like I was in jail but then I think of it I put myself there
00:30:15
you know all those lying and doing what they want me to do I put myself there then after two months it
00:30:25
was Nina castina from the adoption agency who arrived at The Institute Nina showed up and she brought me in clothes
00:30:33
she asked me if I remembered her and she took Sabrina to live with her in Virginia eventually Sabrina moved in
00:30:41
with a new set of parents in North Carolina I have parents they're the parents that took me in that took their
00:30:49
time to learn who I am and make me a better person after high school she volunteered for the non-profit Mercy
00:30:58
Ships and spent two years in Africa helping to provide medical care to underprivileged people loved it really I
00:31:07
did when she returned home in 2010 she got a job in a hospital and at church she met math teacher Phil Caldwell I
00:31:16
fell in love with him when I saw him interact with kids the way he was treating them how
00:31:22
committed he was she's just very real and very genuine and I love that about her but before she
00:31:28
would even consider getting engaged she insisted that Phil watched the original 48 Hours show about her early life my
00:31:37
heart broke for her I really couldn't believe all of the things that she had gone through I think
00:31:42
she expected me to run but it was the opposite reaction of what she expected me to think
00:31:49
they married in 2014 and now have three lovely daughters and a son fun kids love them
00:32:00
she's very loving and she's very caring it looks real good and I think probably what Sabrina went through has had a
00:32:08
greater impact on her parenting than she can see herself you go girl because she
00:32:14
is so amazing at it [Music] Phil recently stopped teaching and started a new job at the same hospital
00:32:24
where his wife works seems like you're in a really good place I am you're happy I am
00:32:34
but Sabrina like me has always wondered what happened to Crystal and Jesse and she says that after two decades she was
00:32:43
ready to find out [Music] the more of Sabrina's story and her life now at 48hours.com
00:32:56
after she became a mother Sabrina says she wanted Crystal and Jesse tonight she had a family of her own and she wanted
00:33:06
to share her side of the story she found Crystal on social media and finally hit the send button
00:33:14
I'd send her a message stating to her that I hope she's well and I just want to make this really clear for you I've
00:33:23
never wanted to hurt Joshua and I never heard or saw things in my life and how did she respond
00:33:31
she said she prayed that I would have a better family did you love Crystal and Jesse and
00:33:42
myself in their shoes I would have probably done almost the same thing but not everything
00:33:52
I would never take a child back still she says she Harbors no hard feelings toward them I learned to
00:34:01
forgive my past have an amazing husband I can't thank God enough for him I have amazing kids
00:34:09
but if I didn't go through what I went through I wouldn't have that Sabrina says Crystal and Jesse have
00:34:16
three biological Daughters of their own along with Joshua they declined our request for an interview however Jesse
00:34:24
said that he and Crystal were glad Sabrina's life had turned out so well and that Joshua was now a father too
00:34:33
hi girls in the end it appears that crystalline Jesse like Sabrina eventually found
00:34:40
families and happiness and as it turned out so did I don't be scared okay and my
00:34:48
journey started the minute I left Sabrina in Russia I cried as I was leaving then I started saying to myself you know
00:34:59
maybe one day I I can rescue an an older child but the timing wasn't right I was single
00:35:09
and as a CBS News correspondent I was still traveling endlessly then I had a story in Johannesburg South
00:35:20
Africa when I went to an orphanage there to make a donation I said you know what uh I'm close to 40
00:35:29
now I'm gonna go for it in 2003 I became certified to adopt a child and learned about a woman in
00:35:39
Djibouti Africa who wanted to find someone to adopt her four-year-old son [Music]
00:35:45
and I looked at his photo and the resemblance was uncanny this looks like my kid
00:35:54
I had been to Africa twice and never heard of Djibouti but that Thanksgiving I flew there to
00:36:02
meet this young boy and his mother his name was I noticed that his eyes danced that's
00:36:13
the signal that he's smart he's clever his mother was Katra she gave birth to her son after a short affair with a
00:36:23
French soldier and ever since then she feared for the boy's safety because he was mixed rays they were homeless and
00:36:32
living in abandoned building he was sleeping on the floor and so was she begging was his routine I took them to
00:36:41
lunch and over the course of the next two weeks I got to know them I began bonding over hamburgers and fries
00:36:50
and walking around on the street he spoke four languages but not English we mind it's like let's eat
00:37:00
you need to go home to sleep I mean that's how basic it was fortunately there was a bowling alley
00:37:08
and a small beach in a nearby military base we went bowling a lot with something he'd never done before we
00:37:16
didn't know how to swim so we took a boat to this small little Beach Island that was
00:37:23
reserved for the military personnel I made two more lengthy visits to Djibouti but when it came time for the
00:37:32
adoption there was a problem kadra never signed her name before she didn't know how to sign her name
00:37:45
it's your practice over and over again you know over and over again it was such a loving and selfless Act
00:38:01
the attorney sitting next to us said to cadra Troy will be a good father and she looked me dead in the eye and
00:38:11
she said time will tell my name is Jonah gray Roberts and my father is Troy Roberts
00:38:28
that's the street you moved on and Djibouti the whole adoption process that was four
00:38:35
years old there wasn't really much to tell a four-year-old you are I was just there's a man here
00:38:42
who's you know taking care of me who's feeding me he also did get me a tutor so I was getting education
00:38:50
at that age you don't really think anything about it um you're just this could be you know my
00:38:55
long-lost dad and then 10 months after meeting my son it was finally time to go that was an intense day
00:39:06
I'm thousands of feet in the air this is my first time ever on an airplane then my dad tells me oh we're in New
00:39:15
York City is your new home and I remember seeing my first home my first real home
00:39:22
and he's like this is your room it's my own bed I didn't have to share with anyone
00:39:28
I had a desk a place where I started studying had the tutors it was it was amazing
00:39:38
we did everything together so much together I really enjoyed watching him learn new
00:39:46
things and introducing him to A Whole New World there was never father an adopted son it
00:39:54
was always you know father and son and like any father I have a lot to learn from my son
00:40:02
who needs three monitors empty burrito refrigerating plastic what can I do and you're just stand there
00:40:15
every Thanksgiving we have this thing where before we start eating after I've made the full meal because he doesn't
00:40:23
know how to cook um would always start off by saying like what we're grateful for this year
00:40:30
and now when I think about Sabrina's journey and Crystal and Jessie's and Jonas and my own I realize how much we
00:40:40
all have to be thankful for it seems like everyone's story has a happy ending and uh
00:40:49
