Adopting Audrey

Good evening, Mrs. Hicks.

I'm calling about invoice number 137.

There's a balance due of $365 and 17 cents.

We sent a copy in the envelope with your order.

Did you receive your order?

I do have your PO number right here.

It's 137..

I'm sorry to hear that.

But I'm gonna have to report to my supervisor

and let him know your intentions

in regards to this past due invoice.

Well you have until the 13th, so enjoy your day.

Wait, Mrs. Hicks?

Can I ask you a question?

How long have you lived in Denver?

Really?

Wow, that's a long time.

Don't you ever feel like you just wanna...

leave?

Just let me do it.

Here you go.

I don't think I'll be coming over anymore.

Oh fuck.

Do you think that maybe you can

just turn it back on

for tonight and I can literally

come in tomorrow morning

with a check for you guys or?

Okay. All right.

Well, thank you.

Thank you for your help.

Hey Kenny.

Audrey?

Hey, oh sweet.

- Well I have to talk to you about something.

Yeah.

Kenny's been complaining

about the noise and he said, okay.

He says that you've been-

Fornicating?

That's it.

- I don't think it's gonna be a problem anymore.

Glad to hear it.

Hey mom.

Yeah, things are going really great.

I just...

I've just been

you know, working and

you know

I'm not seeing anyone right now.

But...

Happy Mother's Day.

- Hello, call me the regular way.

This is Teddy

one of our North American Porcupines.

You don't do good phone work.

I disagree.

That's what it says here.

It says you better not dealing directly with people.

But that's not true.

I'm really nice to people.

I'm sure you are.

I just don't have any-

What else does it say?

I'm terribly sorry but

we're gonna have to let you go.

Okay, cool. Got it.

Thank you so much. You enjoy your day.

You too.

- Audrey hey it's Warren

I'm supposed to call it hang on

Jesus I know

If you want someone to do something

you can just say it

and then you can let them do it.

You don't have to keep yelling at them.

Sorry, I'm sorry Audrey

You have to get the rent

it's normal to do that and it's really late.

It's Warren, OK bye.

- Okay so, I just adopted a dog

and I think it's already one

of the best decisions I've ever made.

We had a sleep over the first night before I adopted him.

And he's literally the perfect dog.

Look at that face

how can you resist?

Surprisingly, there's a lot of older dogs

who are in need of a new family to love them.

Most older dogs make wonderful-

- Adoptions create families.

And the desire for a family is something we never lose.

No matter how old we are.

Adult adoption is on the rise

and it is creating families all over the world.

If you're ready to start the search for your forever family

please visit our website at adult adoption.

- Hi there, I've never had any kids.

My wife and I are kind of lonely here.

And I think it'd be helpful for us to have someone

it's a funny thing, how it came about.

We were thinking about going

to the humane society and picking out an animal.

- The reason why I would like to adopt somebody is

because I feel it's very possible

that many of us have been in families in other lives.

And that it's possible that we might meet one

of those family members in this life.

- But I think I could share some joy

with an adult who maybe has never had these things either.

If you're an adult who is looking

for an adoptive mother, feel free to get in-

Hi, my name's Audrey.

And I'm looking to be adopted.

It was really nice watching your video

and I hope that we get to meet.

Wishing you the best over here by the river.

Thanks. Bye.

So um

I used to garden.

But I don't anymore because of the arthritis now.

No not in five years.

- I mean, we have so much in common.

The music thing for starters

how many people really like Dixieland Jazz?

I know they say they do but they don't.

- Actually we don't like jazz at all.

We're just being polite.

- Wheat toast and some water please.

Audrey?

Ted.

Is Nancy coming.

Nancy.

Your wife?

Oh, she's parking the car.

- Parking is pretty bad around here, I guess.

- I'm really excited about this Audrey.

I'm excited too.

So you want a daddy?

- Hello, my name is Sunny.

I've never had children, but over the years

I've watched people who do

I've seen

so much misunderstanding in families.

I think that if parents can try to understand

that the things they say can mean so much to their children

even little things can mean something big.

If I was ever lucky enough to be a parent, I'd be the kind

of parent who thinks about what they say to their child.

And is kind.

Hi Audrey?

I'm Sunny.

Hi.

- You didn't have to bring anything.

Oh we don't have to eat it.

Come in. It smells good.

That's the cumin.

Have a seat.

Would you like some tea?

I had a boss once who told me

I should be on medication.

I think he was trying to help.

But I don't know.

Did you take his advice?

No, no.

I don't want to mess with my brain.

Oh, do you mind if I charge my phone?

Here, I'll do it for you.

Thanks.

What kind of job was it?

What?

- The one with the boss and the medication.

Oh God, I don't even remember

I've had so many jobs.

You move around?

I do.

You're a seeker.

Time for dinner?

Otto, this is Audrey.

Nice to meet you.

Hmm.

Words Otto.

Hello.

What is this?

Audrey brought it.

Wasn't that nice?

I made spaghetti.

We will have spaghetti.

Dinner will be ready soon

Otto why don't you tell Mutti.

Hmm.

Mutti is Otto's mother.

He has two children, Gretchen and John.

Otto calls him Johan, but everybody else calls him John.

Otto is very traditional.

It's nice.

Do they live nearby?

Yes, but we hardly see them.

They have their own lives.

Otto and I met online.
