[00:06.64]How’s my boy? How’s big Mike?
[00:09.53]
[00:10.10]He’s fine. He’s doing really well.
[00:12.67]
[00:13.89]We might have some wine in the kitchen, if you...
[00:16.32]
[00:16.37]Oh, no, no, no. That’s really kind.
[00:18.67]
[00:19.01]When did you last see Michael?
[00:21.12]
[00:22.41]I don’t know.
[00:23.91]
[00:24.56]How many foster kids you got living with you?
[00:27.71]
[00:28.90]Oh, I’m not a foster parent to Michael.
[00:31.19]
[00:31.19]We were just helping him out.
[00:32.90]
[00:33.32]-State don’t pay you nothing? -No.
[00:36.62]
[00:37.07]And you feed him? You buy him clothes, too?
[00:40.26]
[00:40.55]Well, when I can find them in his size.
[00:43.97]
[00:47.00]You a fine Christian lady.
[00:49.33]
[00:49.75]Well I try to be.
[00:51.27]
[00:53.40]This is all really nice what you’re doing,
[00:55.90]
[00:55.95]But don’t be surprised if one day you wake up and he gone.
[00:59.40]
[01:00.62]-What do you mean? -He’s a "runner."
[01:03.07]
[01:03.98]That’s what the state called him after they took him from me.
[01:07.58]
[01:09.30]Every foster home they sent him to,
[01:11.71]
[01:12.54]He’d slip out the window at night and come looking for me.
[01:15.93]
[01:15.98]No matter where I was that boy would
[01:18.67]
[01:18.67]Come find me, take care of me.
[01:20.92]
[01:23.04]I’ve had some health problems.
[01:25.78]
[01:27.92]Mrs. Oher, was Michael born under a different name?
[01:31.84]
[01:32.89]Proctor. That was his daddy’s last name.
[01:36.45]
[01:37.41]-Where is he? -Ain’t seen him since he left.
[01:40.36]
[01:41.05]And when was that?
[01:42.55]
[01:42.90]Week after was Mike born?
[01:45.02]
[01:46.01]Do you have his birth certificate?
[01:48.62]
[01:56.17]It’s alright. I’ll figure it out.
[01:58.65]
[02:13.83]Mrs. Oher, you’ll always be Michael’s mama.
[02:16.53]
[02:20.87]Would you like to see him?
[02:22.37]
[02:22.42]No. Not this way.
[02:25.26]
[02:28.55]It’s Williams.
[02:30.03]
[02:32.39]His last name’s Williams.
[02:34.24]
[02:36.56]Couldn’t even remember who the boy’s father is.
[02:39.46]
[03:09.36]The color is better, the graphic is bright. It’s awesome!
[03:12.22]
[03:12.27]Michael, we have something we’d like to ask you.
[03:15.22]
[03:15.66]What?
[03:17.17]
[03:18.05]Leigh Anne and I, we...
[03:19.80]
[03:22.33]We’d like to become your legal guardians.
[03:24.93]
[03:24.98]What’s that mean?
[03:26.43]
[03:26.48]What it means is, that we want to know
[03:29.38]
[03:29.53]If you’d like to become a part of this family?
[03:32.38]
[03:41.70]I kinda thought I already was.
[03:43.80]
[03:52.48]Well alright then. |
