00:03:30Tell me something about the two of you.
00:03:32Well, after we got married, we had always planned on having children.
00:03:36We tried for a year on and off, and finally it happened.
00:03:41Three months in, we lost the baby.
00:03:45A year after that, we started trying again.
00:03:48And a year after that, we started looking into fertility treatments.
00:03:52Children have always been important to us.
00:03:55I mean, John comes from a big family.
00:03:58Three older sisters and a younger brother.
00:04:01And I have a sister, too.
00:04:02A nephew and a niece and one on the way.
00:04:04And I'm a schoolteacher.
00:04:05We have a lot to offer.
00:04:07A beautiful home.
00:04:09A lot of love.
00:04:12We just want someone to share that with.
00:04:14We've talked to a few other agencies, and there's long wait lists.
00:04:19And to be honest, we're not getting any younger.
00:04:22I don't think you have anything to worry about.
00:04:26So, how does this whole process work?
00:04:28Well, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Office has a form.
00:04:31It's in I-800A.
00:04:32And you're going to need to fill that out.
00:04:34It's basically an application to see if you're suitable to adopt.
00:04:37Next, the state, in this case California, will have to complete a home study.
00:04:42Then after that, you'll get a form I-797, which is a notification to action.
00:04:47Upon completion of that, we can continue with your request.
00:04:50It sounds more intimidating than it really is.
00:04:53We'll take care of all the paperwork for you.
00:04:56Our priority is making your family complete.
00:04:58By the way, this is my associate, Tatiana.
00:05:02I know this is a big decision for both of you.
00:05:05So, just take your time.
00:05:07Think about it.
00:05:29Honey.
00:05:33Let's do it.
00:05:34I'll make some calls.
00:05:37I'll make some calls.
00:06:02It's me, so I'll post the information, and you're sure they are the ones?
00:06:32Yes, no, I have the files right here, John and Amanda Lewis, do you think they suspect
00:06:43anything?
00:06:44Cool, I'll make my job much easier, yes, no, I understand, I'll call you when I arrive.
00:06:57Hey, there's my little girl, I was just thinking about you, sitting up here singing with the
00:07:18choir, playing the piano.
00:07:19That was a really long time ago, Dad.
00:07:21It wasn't that long ago.
00:07:26Can I talk to you for a second?
00:07:30Sure, here, have a seat.
00:07:32So what's on your mind?
00:07:34We went to see the doctor yesterday.
00:07:36Oh, and?
00:07:38He's done all he can.
00:07:40Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:43John and I were talking about alternatives, and I brought up adoption.
00:07:47Really?
00:07:49What do you think?
00:07:51We know how important this is to you and John.
00:07:54And if you choose to bring a child into your home, into your heart, your mother and I would
00:08:02be more than proud to call him or her our grandchild.
00:08:10Thank you, Dad.
00:08:10Oh, my little girl.
00:08:17Sweetheart, this came from the agency.
00:08:27Look at her, she's so cute.
00:08:30So beautiful.
00:08:33Moldova.
00:08:35I've never heard of that before.
00:08:36She looks healthy, too.
00:08:45You really want to go through with this?
00:08:50Yeah.
00:09:06My husband and I are adopting a baby, and she'll be here very soon.
00:09:32I'm very excited.
00:09:33Are you guys excited?
00:09:33Yeah!
00:09:36Eli, why don't you come up and mark down another date?
00:09:42Yes, ma'am.
00:09:57So today we're going to be going over all the procedures for a state home inspection.
00:10:01You're going to need to have child-proof locks on all the cabinets and the drawers.
00:10:06Make sure the locks on the windows are also child-proof.
00:10:11Thank you, Shreem!
00:10:13You guys look great.
00:10:17Welcome.
00:10:18Bye!
00:10:19Bye!

00:14:57I love you, too.
00:14:58I love you, too.
00:14:59I love you, too.
00:14:59I love you, too.
00:15:00How come she doesn't look like you, Ms. Lewis?
00:15:19Because she's adopted.
00:15:20What does that mean?
00:15:22It means your parents didn't want her.
00:15:23Billy.
00:15:24It means that sometimes parents, especially if they're young, aren't ready for the responsibility of raising a child.
00:15:30So she didn't come from your tummy?
00:15:32No, she didn't.
00:15:34Eva was born in Europe.
00:15:36Not far away.
00:15:37Why don't you have your own baby?
00:15:40Because my tummy couldn't do it.
00:15:44Can we play with her?
00:15:45Of course you can.
00:15:47But be gentle.
00:15:49She's very little.
00:15:50She's so cute!
00:15:54It's great!
00:15:55It's great!
00:15:55She's so cute!
00:16:02Unpaid?
00:16:03Did you even fight them?
00:16:04The district feels that the circumstances of adoption are different than conventional childbirth.
00:16:10Are you kidding me?
00:16:12I'm her mother.
00:16:13Her only mother.
00:16:14Which is why they've agreed to a leave of absence.
00:16:16Two weeks unpaid.
00:16:17How generous.
00:16:18It's supposed to be four.
00:16:20You should have waited for summer break.
00:16:21It's not fair, I know.
00:16:25Look, when you and John were pregnant...
00:16:28I'm sorry.
00:16:31She's no different than any other child.
00:16:34You want my advice?
00:16:35Have your lawyer call the board.
00:16:39Amanda.
00:16:40Amanda.
00:16:40Amanda.
00:16:44Amanda.
00:16:44Amanda.
00:16:44Amanda.
00:16:44Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:45Amanda.
00:16:46Amanda.
00:16:46Amanda.
00:16:47Amanda.
00:16:48Amanda.
00:16:49Amanda.
00:16:50Amanda.
00:16:51Who cares what they think?
00:17:13Just take the leave.
00:17:15Things are tight.
00:17:16We'll be alright.
00:17:17I'll put in some extra hours.
00:17:19That big deal I'm working on with David, it's about to close.
00:17:23You should be here with your daughter.
00:17:28Well, thankfully, she has a wonderful mother.
00:17:31That's not the point.
00:17:32Then what do you want me to do?
00:17:34I want you to defend me.
00:17:35I want you to be on my side.
00:17:37You want me to call Eileen?
00:17:39Call an attorney.
00:17:40Call an attorney.
00:17:40Hey.
00:17:43Look.
00:17:43This is going to be difficult, but we can get through this.
00:17:49Hey.
00:17:51Okay?
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:58Now, who do you want me to call?
00:18:00No one.
00:18:01You two go get ready for bed.
00:18:16I'll take care of this.
00:18:22Are you back?
00:18:23Let's go get your jammies on.
00:18:24Oh, my God.
00:18:45No.
00:18:49How's my baby girl?
00:19:09No.
00:19:14Eva!
00:19:19John, wake up!
00:19:21Hey, what's wrong?
00:19:26Eva!
00:19:30Sweetheart, are you okay?
00:19:33Yeah, Mr. Madream.
00:19:44Ooh, yeah.
00:19:51My favorite time is when the palm trees blacken against the sky.
00:19:59I don't mind if the clouds turn orange, why should I?
00:20:06And then I look at you and I know why.
00:20:10Everything's better with you.
00:20:27Everything's better with you. Everything's better in two.
00:20:34Everything's better with you. Everything's better in two.
00:20:46Well, she's looking good. A good strong heartbeat.
00:20:49I'm a little concerned she hasn't said anything since she's been home.
00:20:53Well, that's not surprising. I mean, with the new surroundings, the new languages, and, you know, she's just over a year old.
00:20:59Thirteen months, yeah.
00:21:00Well, I'd give another month or so before we start to get concerned.
00:21:07Is everything okay?
00:21:09Well, typically at this age, they should be between 17 and 26 pounds. She plots out at the lowest percentile.
00:21:15Well, she certainly eats a lot.
00:21:17Well, she's a little small, too. Do you have a copy of the birth certificate?
00:21:22Sure, I should have it.
00:21:24Here. Thanks.
00:21:30Here you go.
00:21:31Thanks.
00:21:36Is something wrong?
00:21:38Five pounds, ten ounces. Usually with that kind of a birth weight at this age, they've more than tripled.
00:21:43Did they mention anything about Eva maybe having been premature?
00:21:47No. Why? You think she might have been?
00:21:50That or the birth certificate is wrong.
00:21:52Listen, it doesn't matter. We will just go ahead and monitor her development.
00:21:56Make sure that she gets a varied and nutritious diet. Plenty of proteins, vegetables, fruits.
00:22:01I'd like to do a CBC as well, just in case.
00:22:04Okay.
00:22:05You might also want to get a copy of the DNA test.
00:22:08Really?
00:22:09Yes. By law, they're required to have it for an international adoption. Just for added peace of mind.
00:22:17You really think there's something wrong with the birth certificate?
00:22:20It's probably nothing, but I'll let you know if the test turns anything up. Otherwise, we'll just see you in a month.
00:22:28Hey, listen. Don't be worried. I'm just being cautious.
00:22:56Would you be cautious?
00:22:57Can't hold it?
00:22:58Perché?!
00:22:59G baream?
00:23:00closest friend
00:23:01What'd you say?
00:23:02Say in calificia
00:23:03Ting.
00:23:04Is that� because we've been missing?
00:23:05quergy-estimate
00:23:07And now you've been meaningful.
00:23:08Who's looking for it?
00:23:09I just want to know you, God.
00:23:10Ever can hear this story?
00:23:11There's nothing wrong debate because in there was no reason why
00:23:12We don't know where we can hear you.
00:23:15Yeah, ah.
00:23:17It's funny, Peter Piggy
00:23:18Oh, I see.
00:23:19Well, he's so close to everyone.
00:23:21What buzzes did worse out ?
00:23:22Ava, you're such a good girl with the doctor.
00:23:52Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:24:22Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:24:52Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:24:54Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:24:58Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:02Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:12Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:22Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:24Sweet dreams.
00:25:26Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:36Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:46Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:48Ava, you're such a good girl.
00:25:50It's one doctor, Amanda.
00:25:52One doctor in the whole city.
00:25:54She's our doctor.
00:25:56What if she's right?
00:25:58How much do we really know?
00:26:00It's a different country.
00:26:02Different economic situation.
00:26:04They have different standards.
00:26:06Different ways of doing things.
00:26:08We did our homework, right?
00:26:10The agency checked out.
00:26:12She suggested that we get a copy of the DNA test.
00:26:14DNA test.
00:26:15It's a requirement for all international adoptions.
00:26:18Sweetheart, she sounds a little paranoid to me.
00:26:22She's very thorough.
00:26:24I just want to make sure no one can say she's not ours.
00:26:28Look at her. She's fine.
00:26:30It doesn't matter what happened in her country.
00:26:32We're going to take care of her.
00:26:34Make sure she's healthy and safe from now on.
00:26:38You hear me?
00:26:40You're daddy's little pumpkin.
00:26:42Yes, you are.
00:26:44Yes, you are.
00:26:46You want to see Maxie?
00:26:48Huh?
00:26:50Somebody did a pooping.
00:26:52Oh.
00:26:54What?
00:26:56You hear me?
00:27:06You're daddy's little pumpkin.
00:27:14Hello.
00:27:16Yeah, it's Gabriel.
00:27:18Let me speak to my sister.
00:27:20Gabriel?
00:27:22Eh, me in Los Angeles.
00:27:24I found them.
00:27:34Hi, can I help you?
00:27:36I'm here to see Doran and Tatiana.
00:27:38Do you have an appointment?
00:27:40No.
00:27:42Okay, can I get your name, please?
00:27:44Amanda Lewis.
00:27:46It'll just be just a second.
00:27:50This is an unexpected surprise.
00:28:00How can I help you?
00:28:02I took Eva to the pediatrician yesterday, and I know this sounds weird, but the doctor said that she looks like she might have been premature.
00:28:08Premature?
00:28:09Premature?
00:28:10I was just wondering if maybe you could check your files, see if there's anything we might have missed.
00:28:14We always get their report from the obstetrician.
00:28:16I know.
00:28:17It's probably nothing.
00:28:18It's just...
00:28:19Well, it was her first doctor's visit, and she was a few pounds underweight, and the doctor was a little concerned.
00:28:24As Doran said, a lot of our children have come from very poor financial situations.
00:28:29They're not as well-nourished as children here.
00:28:32Well, let's see what I can do.
00:28:35And a copy of the DNA report, if that's okay.
00:28:39Of course.
00:28:40I'll make you copies of the obstetrician and DNA paperwork.
00:29:29Here you are.
00:29:31Anytime.
00:29:32Anything we can do to help.
00:29:35Anytime you need any information, please let me know.
00:29:50I will.
00:29:51Thanks again.
00:29:52See, I told you.
00:29:55Dr. Shriver's just being paranoid.
00:29:56She's just being cautious.
00:29:57Wait a minute.
00:29:58What is it?
00:29:59What day did we pick Eva up?
00:30:00Uh, the flight was on Saturday the 2nd.
00:30:15We were in the office on Monday the 4th.
00:30:18Why?
00:30:19This is dated the 5th.
00:30:21Well, that's impossible.
00:30:22I mean, she was with us then.
00:30:24In the hotel, in Chisinau.
00:30:25I know.
00:30:26But look.
00:30:27Here.
00:30:28November 5th.
00:30:29All right.
00:30:30Well, there has to be a mistake.
00:30:31I mean, clearly they didn't get a sample from her when she was with us.
00:30:34No.
00:30:35No, they didn't.
00:30:36Look, maybe if they gave us more information.
00:30:40Fingerprints, footprints, anything.
00:30:42Sweetheart, like I said, it's a different country.
00:30:45They have a different way of doing things.
00:30:47That still doesn't explain the fact that this test was supposedly taken on a date
00:30:51where it would have been impossible.
00:30:53Look.
00:30:54There's a number right there.
00:30:56We can call them in the morning.
00:30:58Right now, I gotta get to bed.
00:31:02I gotta go I'm not tired.
00:31:08I'm tired.
00:31:09He's dying.
00:31:11I'm tired.
00:31:13I'm tired.
00:31:14He's dying.
00:31:15Elena!
00:31:24Elena!
00:31:25Elena!
00:31:26Elena!
00:31:31Elena!
00:31:45Buenas tardes!
00:31:50Hi, is there someone there that I could speak to in English?
00:31:55Verbizzi Inglesa?
00:31:58Hold.
00:32:04Can I help you?
00:32:05Yes, my husband and I recently adopted a child from your country,
00:32:09and your company handled the DNA test.
00:32:12Yes.
00:32:13Oh, I...
00:32:15We were wondering...
00:32:17The child is actually with us on the date listed as the collection.
00:32:21Is that the date that the sample was taken,
00:32:24or just the date it was processed?
00:32:26Or what does it mean exactly?
00:32:28What is the number?
00:32:29Um...
00:32:31The number?
00:32:32The child's case number on the report.
00:32:35Uh...
00:32:37ACS?
00:32:398-1-1-8-2.
00:32:42What are you asking me, Mrs. Lewis?
00:32:45The date on the report.
00:32:48The information is correct.
00:32:58Shhh!
00:32:59You want Bear Bear?
00:33:01Here.
00:33:02Here.
00:33:03What's that?
00:33:04Oh, yeah.
00:33:05I know how you feel.
00:33:07Um...
00:33:08What a pretty day, baby girl.
00:33:22Oh, jeez.
00:33:23You guys scared me.
00:33:24Ooh.
00:33:25Hi.
00:33:26Hi.
00:33:27She's so cute.
00:33:28Can you see the baby?
00:33:29Hi, sweetie.
00:33:30Hi, sweetie.
00:33:31She's so cute.
00:33:32Okay, go.
00:33:33We're at the beach.
00:33:34Go play.
00:33:35So it sounded like they were recording the call.
00:33:36Well, I mean, a lot of people do that now for security reasons.
00:33:38I know, but...
00:33:39It just...
00:33:40It was the way he...
00:33:41He asked for the case number.
00:33:42I mean, he was acting weird.
00:33:43You guys scared me.
00:33:44You guys scared me.
00:33:45Ooh.
00:33:46Hi.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:48She's so cute.
00:33:49Can you see the baby?
00:33:50Hi, sweetie.
00:33:51She's so cute.
00:33:52Okay, go.
00:33:53We're at the beach.
00:33:54Go play.
00:33:55So it sounded like they were recording the call.
00:33:58Well, I mean, a lot of people do that now for security reasons.
00:34:02I know, but it just...
00:34:06It was the way he asked for the case number.
00:34:10I mean, he was acting weird.
00:34:11When he said my name, it was as if he was giving me a warning.
00:34:16So speak to the agency.
00:34:18I did.
00:34:19And?
00:34:20Well, they said that the obstetrician's report shows a normal birth.
00:34:24Which the birth certificate also confirms.
00:34:27Yes.
00:34:29So what are you worried about?
00:34:31A clerical mistake on a DNA test from another country?
00:34:34I mean, they probably don't even speak English.
00:34:37Don't worry about it.
00:34:38Think about the opportunity Ava's getting here in this country.
00:34:41You're giving her a better life than she would ever have there.
00:34:44I know.
00:34:46I worry that someone might try to take her away from us.
00:34:49I would just feel better if I had some answers, that's all.
00:34:52You need to get a good night's rest.
00:34:54I will.
00:34:56Okay.
00:34:57Okay.
00:35:03A disturbing trend has been discovered in the Republic of Moldova,
00:35:06where multiple child abductions have been reported in recent months.
00:35:10The capital of Moldova, now considered by some, the child abducted capital of Eastern Europe.
00:35:15It was if the baby just, uh, how you say?
00:35:19On the north, east, and south.
00:35:34The capital of Moldova, are going on.
00:35:49Hey!
00:35:51Hey!
00:35:53Sorry I'm late.
00:35:54I got stuck on a call with Dave.
00:35:57Brought your favorite takeout.
00:35:59Sushi?
00:36:03Did you talk to the company about the DNA test?
00:36:05They said the paperwork was correct.
00:36:07That's it?
00:36:08They didn't say anything about the date issue?
00:36:12No.
00:36:13Is everything okay?
00:36:25Something's not right.
00:36:27And what if she's not supposed to be here with us?
00:36:31In the United States.
00:36:32It's one doctor, Amanda.
00:36:34One doctor found a problem.
00:36:37If you think it'll help, we get a second opinion.
00:36:40She's been my sister's pediatrician for years.
00:36:43It couldn't hurt.
00:36:44What about the DNA test?
00:36:46I mean, how do you, how do you explain that?
00:36:48You look exhausted.
00:36:53Yeah, I could, I could really use some sleep.
00:36:58I'll tell you what.
00:37:01I'll take Eva to your parents' house on the way to work tomorrow,
00:37:04under one condition,
00:37:06that you promise to get at least eight hours of sleep.
00:37:10Nine, maybe, okay?
00:37:17I'm gonna go get dinner ready.
00:37:31This is obviously some sort of clerical error,
00:37:33so I really don't know what you want me to say.
00:37:36You could start with the truth.
00:37:37Well, the truth is that this is an agency
00:37:39that's in the business of helping children,
00:37:41and these children come from what amounts to be third-world countries,
00:37:44where they don't have access to technologies or medicine,
00:37:46and, regrettably, sometimes some mistakes are made.
00:37:49So if you'd like me to make copies of any of these papers
00:37:52to put your mind at ease, I'd be happy to do that.
00:37:55What about the contact information for the birth mother?
00:37:57Sorry, I can't do that.
00:37:58Why not?
00:37:59Because, as you know, we run a very sensitive agency here,
00:38:02and it's sensitive because it's high degree of confidentiality.
00:38:05Confidentiality or secrecy?
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:08Here's what I'm gonna do.
00:38:09I'm gonna call the lab.
00:38:10We're gonna order a second DNA test.
00:38:14Would you be willing to give us a sample of Eva's saliva?
00:38:20Sure.
00:38:22Miss Lewis, I don't get the impression that you're very committed to this adoption,
00:38:29and to be quite frank with you, there are plenty of other people
00:38:31that would love to give this little girl a home.
00:38:34Don't threaten me.
00:38:36All I want is to be Eva's legitimate mother.
00:38:43Sit down.
00:38:45Sit down!
00:38:46Hundreds of cases for you. Have you ever known me to have a problem?
00:38:50Until now.
00:38:51This is all because of the paperwork which came from your organization
00:38:54that you assured me that you had an official in your pocket.
00:38:57We do.
00:38:58Maybe he should get his dates right.
00:38:59Another DNA test could make the situation worse.
00:39:03I just thought it would calm her mind.
00:39:04Stop her from asking so many questions.
00:39:06Doran, you've been shoveling hope and optimism for such a long time
00:39:10you're actually starting to believe in it.
00:39:16Hello.
00:39:21We have a situation.
00:39:25I understand.
00:39:27I'm sending you her files.
00:39:28Would your baby like a balloon?
00:39:47Let's go.
00:40:07Let's go, sweetie.
00:40:10Let's go, sweetie.
00:40:11Let's go smoke.
00:40:32Ava, you wait here.
00:40:41What is your wife?
00:40:52Ava?
00:40:57Ava?
00:41:04Ava!
00:41:11Eva!
00:41:12Oh my God!
00:41:13Eva!
00:41:14It belongs to you.
00:41:15Oh, thank you.
00:41:16Don't mention it.
00:41:17We'll see you later.
00:41:18Hmm?
00:41:20Shh.
00:41:21Shh.
00:41:22Shh.
00:41:23Shh.
00:41:24Shh.
00:41:25Shh.
00:41:26Shh.
00:41:28Shh.
00:41:29Shh.
00:41:30Shh.
00:41:31Shh.
00:41:32Shh.
00:41:33Shh.
00:41:34Shh.
00:41:35Shh.
00:41:36Shh.
00:41:37Shh.
00:41:38Shh.
00:41:39Shh.
00:41:40Shh.
00:41:41Shh.
00:41:42Shh.
00:41:45He looked familiar.
00:41:46It was like I'd seen him somewhere before.
00:41:48So maybe he shops there, too.
00:41:50Maybe.
00:41:51You know, I remember the first time I took the kids to the mall.
00:41:56Scotty disappears.
00:41:57Yeah.
00:41:58Disappears.
00:41:59I find him two stairs down playing one of those rock air guitar things.
00:42:03You guys, stop.
00:42:05No, stop.
00:42:06Or no Xbox for a week.
00:42:07Knock it off.
00:42:08You know, you can't take your eye off of them.
00:42:13Not for one second they'll get away from you.
00:42:16It's like they just discovered there's this huge world out there and all they want to do is explore.
00:42:21It's like when I'm out there with Eva.
00:42:22I mean, I feel so vulnerable.
00:42:23Like, what if something happened?
00:42:24You know?
00:42:25I'm all alone with her.
00:42:26How do you do it?
00:42:27Well, I mean, I remember with my first what it was like.
00:42:28I was scared to drink hot water around him.
00:42:29I was scared I would spill it on him.
00:42:30Look, we're only human.
00:42:31You keep your eye on her as best you can and you just try not to worry about the rest.
00:42:34Hi!
00:42:35Stop it!
00:42:36One second.
00:42:37I love you.
00:42:38I love you.
00:42:39with my first what it was like.
00:42:41I was scared to drink hot water around him.
00:42:43I was scared I would spill it on him.
00:42:45Look, we're only human.
00:42:46You keep your eye on her as best you can,
00:42:48and you just try not to worry about the rest.
00:42:51Hi, stop it.
00:42:53One second.
00:43:02I love you.
00:43:09I love you.
00:43:39I love you.
00:44:08It's okay,
00:44:09It's okay, sweetheart.
00:45:09You must be Amanda.
00:45:13Agent Mitchell.
00:45:14Claudia.
00:45:17Thank you for meeting me here.
00:45:19I wasn't comfortable walking into a federal building.
00:45:22I don't know who's watching.
00:45:25So you're concerned about the adoption?
00:45:28I brought copies of the paperwork.
00:45:31Let's see.
00:45:32These look authentic.
00:45:41The dates, the facts, though, they don't add up.
00:45:44So you feel like these documents have been falsified?
00:45:47I do.
00:45:48I'm going to tell you that my department has worked a very long time with the State Department,
00:45:58with international agencies, tracking cases like this for many years.
00:46:04Oftentimes, the evidence is buried in layers of third world red tape.
00:46:09And it can be very difficult building a case, much less bringing it through to prosecution.
00:46:18I want to help.
00:46:19You know, I shouldn't even be telling you this, but from one mother to another,
00:46:28these international abduction cases can be very convoluted.
00:46:34If you do nothing, more than likely this can go away.
00:46:38But once I open this case, once I open this file, you do realize that I have to see it all the way through.
00:46:52So if I'm correct, what I hear you telling me and what I'm sensing from you
00:46:56is that you feel like this child is not yours.
00:47:00I'm going to tell you what.
00:47:12Why don't you think about it?
00:47:15Talk with your husband about it.
00:47:17Take some time.
00:47:19And give me a call then.
00:47:30Is this the DNA sample for Eva Lewis?
00:47:58Okay, I'll get it to the lab for you as soon as possible.
00:48:01Excuse me one second.
00:48:02Family Worldwide Adoptions, how can I help you?
00:48:04Okay.
00:48:09Okay.
00:48:28Bye.
00:48:39Bye.
00:48:39Bye.
00:48:50Bye.
00:48:54Bye.
00:50:24Hi, my name is Amanda Lewis and I see that you adopted a child from Europe last year.
00:50:33I was wondering if I could ask you some questions about the process.
00:50:36Did you get a DNA test?
00:50:38I was just hoping that...
00:50:41Hello?
00:50:42How did you find your experience with dealing with the agency?
00:50:46Were you satisfied with the paperwork?
00:50:47Did you trust them?
00:50:49Maybe if I call back another time.
00:50:52What about the birth certificate?
00:50:53I understand.
00:50:56I'm sorry.
00:50:59You would?
00:51:02Uh, great.
00:51:03When would be a good time?
00:51:07Uh-huh.
00:51:07Okay, great.
00:51:20You must be Amanda.
00:51:22Emily?
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:23Nice to meet you.
00:51:24Nice to meet you.
00:51:25Thank you so much for coming.
00:51:26Of course.
00:51:27Of course.
00:51:27This is Abby.
00:51:28Oh, she's beautiful.
00:51:29How long have you had her?
00:51:31Six wonderful months.
00:51:35And where was your little one?
00:51:37At home with Daddy.
00:51:39Oh, that's great.
00:51:40It took my husband a little while to warm up, but once he did, they're inseparable.
00:51:45So, look, listen, I know, when we first brought Abby home, we noticed some bruising on her thigh.
00:51:59The doctor ran some x-rays and thought there might be signs of abuse, but the paperwork said that she was perfectly healthy, no injuries.
00:52:07So after I got the x-rays back, I went to see Doran again, and I showed him the report that our doctor gave us.
00:52:14And?
00:52:14And he gave us a referral.
00:52:17You mean for a second opinion?
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21And the second doctor explained everything.
00:52:24Of course he did.
00:52:25Now she's fine.
00:52:27Perfect, actually.
00:52:29It is an accredited agency.
00:52:31Did you ever think of contacting the authorities?
00:52:35Why?
00:52:36Abby's with us now, and no one is ever going to hurt her again.
00:52:40Listen.
00:52:40This is what they gave me.
00:52:48The same DNA company.
00:52:50The exact same technician.
00:52:52The exact same nurse's signature on the birth certificate.
00:52:55We need to talk to someone about this.
00:52:57No.
00:52:58She is my daughter.
00:53:00Is she?
00:53:01Her birth mother gave her up.
00:53:02How can you say that when the evidence says otherwise?
00:53:05The evidence doesn't say much of anything.
00:53:07Which is exactly the problem.
00:53:11I mean, how can you sit there and tell me that?
00:53:13Michael and I, it's been ten years on a wait list with an American agency.
00:53:22Ten years.
00:53:24Abby is everything that we ever wanted.
00:53:28Okay.
00:53:29So maybe the system isn't perfect.
00:53:33But I have my family now.
00:53:35And I won't trade it for any things.
00:53:37If you think something's wrong, then you talk to who you have to.
00:53:43But I love my family.
00:53:46And I know in my heart that Abby is right where she belongs.
00:53:51And if that makes me a bad person, then so be it.
00:53:55I talked to another mother who adopted from the agency.
00:54:16Huh?
00:54:17We can't be the only ones with suspicions.
00:54:19How'd you find her?
00:54:22The agency.
00:54:23And they just gave you her contact information.
00:54:27I took it.
00:54:28You stole it.
00:54:29I did what I had to do.
00:54:30Oh.
00:54:31They had the exact same doctor paperwork that we had.
00:54:34I mean, right down to the nurse's signature.
00:54:36Amanda!
00:54:36I mean, how many other families got the exact same paperwork?
00:54:38How many times have they done this and gotten away with it?
00:54:41You can't just steal confidential information from a company.
00:54:44They are kidnapping children and selling them on the black market, John.
00:54:47I know it.
00:54:49You want to lose, Eva?
00:54:50Because if you continue, they will take her from us.
00:54:54I don't know what to do.
00:55:22Baby.
00:55:52Let's go.
00:56:22Let's go.
00:56:52Let's go.
00:57:22Yeah, I can't believe it.
00:57:25She's 16 months.
00:57:28Honey, I'm home.
00:57:29Hi.
00:57:30Who's this?
00:57:32Stephon.
00:57:33Hello.
00:57:34Where's Beth?
00:57:35She's sick.
00:57:37I'm in.
00:57:37What's wrong?
00:57:38Nobody from the agency informed us there'd be a substitute.
00:57:43Let me just make a call.
00:57:44Sir, you'll have to forgive my wife.
00:57:46We've been through a lot.
00:57:48I understand.
00:57:49I understand.
00:57:49Good day.
00:58:03Good day.
00:58:14What was that all about?
00:58:15I contacted the FBI.
00:58:17You did what?
00:58:18I met with an agent.
00:58:21Without telling me.
00:58:23I just expressed to her our concern.
00:58:25What did she say?
00:58:27She explained how difficult it was to make a case.
00:58:30All the red tape and everything.
00:58:32You should have talked to me first.
00:58:34John.
00:58:35I'm her father.
00:58:36It's okay, Eva.
00:58:42Mommy's here.
01:02:13And sold in America.
01:02:17I've already contacted the FBI.
01:02:22Come with me.
01:02:23You can help.
01:02:25We can take them down.
01:02:26I can't.
01:02:27Why not?
01:02:29It'll help bring justice to your sister.
01:02:31You don't understand.
01:02:33There are things I am not proud of.
01:02:35I cannot get involved with authorities.
01:02:37I understand.
01:02:44I don't want to lose Eva, but your sister's gonna get her daughter back.
01:02:49You're a good woman, Amanda.
01:02:50You're a good woman, Amanda.
01:02:55I'm not saying you're a child.
01:02:58If you're going to do this, if you're going to do this, you must be careful.
01:03:07They probably already know you're onto them.
01:03:10These are very dangerous people.
01:03:12There's a lot of money involved.
01:03:14You're a good man.
01:03:15You're a good man.
01:03:16No.
01:03:16No.
01:03:16You keep it.
01:03:27It's her.
01:03:49You were right.
01:03:50It's Eva.
01:03:52It's not about who is right.
01:03:54It's about what we choose to do now.
01:04:09You know, if the feds get involved, we're going to lose her.
01:04:15Are you okay with that?
01:04:21We can give this child everything she needs.
01:04:24Love her as our own.
01:04:30She belongs with her mother.
01:04:34I know.
01:04:39I can't help but think how hard we tried.
01:04:44How long we wait.
01:04:48I know.
01:04:49She's our daughter.
01:04:50She's our daughter.
01:04:59No.
01:05:00She's not.
01:05:03Gabriel.
01:05:03Do I know you?
01:05:16It's Stefan.
01:05:17We met years ago at Niccolo Pappas, in Flushing.
01:05:18We met years ago at Niccolo Pappas, in Flushing.
01:05:22What are you doing here?
01:05:23I need to talk to you.
01:05:24About?
01:05:24About?
01:05:25About?
01:05:25About your sister's child.
01:05:26It's important.
01:05:27What is this all about?
01:05:28What is this all about?
01:05:29Let's go!
01:05:30Let's go!
01:05:31Let's go!
01:05:32Ah!
01:05:33Ah!
01:05:34Ah!
01:05:35Ah!
01:05:36What the man!
01:05:37What are you doing here?
01:05:38I need to talk to you.
01:05:40About?
01:05:41About your sister's child.
01:05:44It's important.
01:05:50What is this all about?
01:05:59What a man.
01:06:07I appreciate both of you coming.
01:06:20I know it couldn't be easy.
01:06:22We just wanted to do the right thing.
01:06:24Right.
01:06:26Well, what do you know about this woman?
01:06:29She works for the agency.
01:06:34Well, her name is Tatiana Kalin.
01:06:36She's connected with a very well-known crime organization
01:06:39out of Eastern Europe.
01:06:41They've been known to be linked to multiple legal activities,
01:06:45including drugs, money laundering, you name it.
01:06:49But this group excels at kidnapping and trafficking children
01:06:54from a variety of countries.
01:06:57We believe Tatiana is a lieutenant of this organization,
01:07:00a liaison between their operations here
01:07:03and their orphanages there.
01:07:05But this group is operating out of multiple states,
01:07:09dealing with hundreds, maybe thousands of children.
01:07:13Well, apparently, there is at least one official
01:07:16within the Chesnail Department of Children's Protection Rights
01:07:20that's on their payroll.
01:07:22What about Doran Vasile?
01:07:24He runs the agency.
01:07:25Doran is a front.
01:07:27He makes them look legitimate in exchange for getting a cut of each transaction.
01:07:33How do we stop them?
01:07:35Well, we have copies of your paperwork,
01:07:37but in order to take this operation down,
01:07:40we are going to have to start from the bottom.
01:07:43That means we're going to have to get these people on tape.
01:07:46Wait, you want to put a wire on her after what you just told me about these people?
01:07:50It will be completely protected.
01:07:52We'll keep the operation very small.
01:07:54No one will know about it.
01:07:55No.
01:07:56John.
01:07:57Sweetheart, I will not allow you to put your life at risk.
01:08:00I have to do this for Eva.
01:08:03Mr. Lewis, the more we have on this agency, on Tatiana,
01:08:08the better chances we have at taking down this ring and then the next ring,
01:08:11and then eventually it'll all come down.
01:08:14Hey, it's okay.
01:08:17I'll be fine.
01:08:19Do you have a reason to see Mr. Vasile?
01:08:22They conducted a second DNA test, and the results should be in any day now.
01:08:26Oh, well, that's when we'll act.
01:08:27But we'll have to do it quickly, because sooner or later,
01:08:30they're going to know that you came to see me.
01:08:32For the record, I'm totally against this.
01:08:35It's okay, Mr. Lewis, we understand.
01:08:37But what you're doing is very brave.
01:08:40We'll be in touch with you with the details, but in the meantime,
01:08:43I would suggest that you not discuss this with anyone for your safety.
01:09:07There you are.
01:09:08The agency called.
01:09:09It's okay.
01:09:10It's okay.
01:09:11It's okay.
01:09:12It's okay.
01:09:13It's okay.
01:09:14It's okay.
01:09:15It's okay.
01:09:16It's okay.
01:09:17It's okay.
01:09:18Here you are.
01:09:19There you are.
01:09:36The agency called.
01:09:38The results are in.
01:09:41They said you could stop by tomorrow morning.
01:09:47So this is it.
01:09:49We're really going to do this.
01:10:00Look at her.
01:10:01She's so beautiful.
01:10:03We're going to lose her.
01:10:05Remember, we're doing this for her.
01:10:13We'll get through this.
01:10:19You ready?
01:10:29I think so.
01:10:32I'm nervous.
01:10:33Yeah.
01:10:36You can do this.
01:10:37I know.
01:10:43Amanda, we're ready for you.
01:10:46All right, let's go.
01:10:47So here's what's going to happen.
01:10:54You're going to go in there.
01:10:55You're going to be polite.
01:10:57You're going to be grateful.
01:10:59He's going to show you the new DNA test.
01:11:01No matter how good it looks, it will be fake.
01:11:05Call them on it, but don't accuse.
01:11:07Be friendly.
01:11:08We need for them to think that they've won you over and you need to make them feel comfortable.
01:11:13They're never going to admit that they kidnapped you, though.
01:11:16No.
01:11:17But what we need is for them to admit that they are knowledgeably and willfully trafficking children from Moldova to the United States.
01:11:24Once we have what we need, we can take over the rest from there.
01:11:26Listen, Amanda, there's nothing to worry about.
01:11:30We'll be close by the whole time.
01:11:32How close?
01:11:35Close.
01:11:40We're ready.
01:11:43Are you ready?
01:11:45Yeah, Mariel.
01:11:48So let's go.
01:11:56Mr. Vasile, we'll see you now.
01:12:26Amanda.
01:12:53Hi.
01:12:54Hi.
01:12:54I just had a long talk with the DNA company yesterday about all your concerns.
01:13:00Like a long story short, it turns out the technician just put the wrong date on the forms.
01:13:05November instead of October.
01:13:06Do you believe this?
01:13:07No.
01:13:08Guess what else?
01:13:09I have your new test results.
01:13:11And what do you know?
01:13:13Everything's fine.
01:13:18It's a relief, I'm sure.
01:13:20I had my doubts there for a minute.
01:13:22It's okay.
01:13:22I always tell our clients to really think deeply about these things, and I know that
01:13:26this was a big decision for you.
01:13:29Well, my family's together.
01:13:30That's all that counts, right?
01:13:32Exactly.
01:13:33But how do I know that this test is legitimate?
01:13:36What do you mean?
01:13:38Well, I gave you the sample, but how do I know that that's what you actually ran?
01:13:42Why don't we take this into my office?
01:13:48Why don't we take this into my office?
01:13:48I don't think there's anything else we can do for you.
01:14:14You can answer a personal question.
01:14:22Go on.
01:14:23Are you a mother?
01:14:26No.
01:14:26Well, just imagine for a moment.
01:14:31Imagine you were to lose the most precious thing in the world to you.
01:14:36That she's out there somewhere.
01:14:38All you can do is pray that she's not in pain.
01:14:41Why don't you tell us really what is it that it's bothering you?
01:14:46You wanted answers.
01:14:47We gave you answers.
01:14:48You wanted a DNA test.
01:14:50We gave you a DNA test.
01:14:51I tell you what, if you are unable to accept everything we have told you, bring Eva back.
01:14:57We arrange for a refund.
01:14:58No questions asked.
01:15:00Is that what you want?
01:15:03Would your organization allow that?
01:15:05I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
01:15:07If I take you up on your offer, will they leave me alone?
01:15:12If I bring Eva back to you, will you give me your word that you will leave me and my husband alone?
01:15:16Because I can't do this anymore.
01:15:17I need to know, no questions asked, can you guarantee my safety?
01:15:24Yes.
01:15:28There's a van across the street full of men about to rush the building.
01:15:31She's been taping our entire conversation.
01:15:40Wait.
01:15:41Get Stefani's NIT.
01:15:47There's a van across the street full of men about to rush the building.
01:16:17There's a van across the street full of men about to rush the building in.
01:16:38There's a van across the street.
01:16:44Come on, check all the rooms.
01:16:57They've got to be here somewhere.
01:17:14Come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:17:44Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
01:18:14Come on, come on, come on.
01:18:26You're doing it, you got us around, now push your hands up before we can see them!
01:18:33Puddle up!
01:18:45Breathe!
01:18:46Get him! Let's go!
01:19:06Puddle up! Puddle up!
01:19:17We couldn't have done this without you.
01:19:20So, what happens next?
01:19:22Well, we're gonna go after the organization, start reuniting children with their parents.
01:19:26It's gonna be a long journey. I just started right here with you.
01:19:31Thank you. You're welcome.
01:19:44Sweetheart.
01:19:46Come on, let's go home.
01:19:52Thank you both.
01:19:53Thank you both.
01:19:54I'll leave you alone.
01:19:57Come on, let's go.
01:20:00Open up.
01:20:03ный
01:20:05John, I'd like you to meet Kiska Balan, Eva's birth mother.
01:20:35It's okay, thank you, from the bottom of my head.
01:21:03It's okay.
01:21:10Bear Bear, she never goes anywhere without him.
01:21:26We will always remember you.
01:21:33We'll be in touch.
01:21:40We'll be in touch.
01:21:47We'll be in touch.
01:21:54We'll be in touch.
01:22:01Sweetheart.
01:22:02We got another letter from Felicia.
01:22:07What's it say?
01:22:08She said her first word.
01:22:11Mama.
01:22:12Oh, that's so sweet.
01:22:15She got a new job.
01:22:16Just moving closer to the city where they'll be closer to some better schools.
01:22:21She's got a picture of us on our nightstand.
01:22:23Aw.
01:22:24Every night they make sure they say goodnight to their friends Amanda and John from the
01:22:29United States.
01:22:30She's gotten so big.
01:22:32I know.
01:22:33Beth's here.
01:22:34Oh.
01:22:35Hi.
01:22:36Hi.
01:22:37I don't mean to bother you, but I thought you might want to hear the good news.
01:22:40What's the good news?
01:22:41That adoption agency I told you about?
01:22:42Well, they've approved you.
01:22:43And they have a baby boy they want you to meet.
01:22:44They do?
01:22:45I told them your story and they wanted to help.
01:22:46That's fantastic.
01:22:47So I have the paperwork right here.
01:22:48We can go over together if you like.
01:22:49Yes, of course.
01:22:50I mean, is that okay?
01:22:51Sweetheart, it's amazing.
01:22:52Let's go inside.
01:22:53Great.
