Bit strange the relatives saying "I want 2" "I want 3" but then I know its unlikely anyone could adopt all of them and adults can't be adopted just seemed so bizarre 'picking how many you can get'

I watched it. It didn't show much that was new but I liked hearing the adult children have been rehomed and are doing well. I hope they can all rebuild their lives somehow.

I hadn't seen the footage of the girls YouTube channel before.

Really hope they all go on to lead as fulfilling lives as possible

On the subject of the family adopting 2 or 3 children each, wouldn't they have agreed this between them? If 8 of the children are adults there probably are only 5 children left to adopt. I'm no expert though but can't imagine the children would be given to family members- these children will have severe damage and I'd imagine they would need expertise in dealing with abused children, not family who are themselves from a family of abuse. Although Louise's sister does seem more capable than her but who knows? So sad.

Fairly mean if the kids ever see the documentary to hear their adoption being discussed, the producers shouldn't have aired that if its unlikely they'll be able to adopt but then its America which is bizarre in its adoption business
