When Elizabeth and Jud introduce adopted children Ting Ting and Yu Ting to the rest of the Curry family, the older siblings welcome them with open arms. But for the younger ones, it'll take a moment to realize what they're gaining, not losing.

Archer, the eldest child in the Curry family, speaks about the dynamics of a 12-sibling household, and why it works for them and their parents, Elizabeth and Jud.

The Currys are raising twelve children, five of whom are adopted from overseas and have special needs. One of those children is Hayden, a young girl from China born with linear nevus sebaceous syndrome. Hayden becomes the thread to this intimate adoption journey as she, her new parents, and her siblings experience the complexities, jealousies and joy of becoming a family.

Undocumented teenager Luis has the weight of the world and his family on his shoulders: he is expected to attend school, work to pay off his debt and find a way to remain in the U.S. with little to no support.

Between work and school, Luis is feeling the pressure of having to succeed for the sake of his family and a future he sees for himself. Can he manage both and care for his own mental health?

A man's past mistake puts him on the radar of Judy and her ICE team. But what they don't know is who Ernest is - a devoted husband, father and neighbor - and how this arrest will affect his family.

Ernest's arrest shows that the courts don't always abide by the same laws. How can the judicial system recognize its differences so that ICE can do their job effectively without unnecessary harm?
