Dr. Phil - Reunion Aftermath/Exclusive: Baby Veronica Returns

Seizoen: 12 - Aflevering: 36 / 1653 - Eerst uitgezonden: 29 oktober 2013 - Episode ID: 837496

Nineteen-year-old Stephanie says she has spent most of her life wanting to find out more about her birth mother and recently started searching online — and discovered mug shots and criminal charges. Now, more than ever, Stephanie says she wants answers, no matter how painful they might be. Who is her mother? Why did she give her up? And, how did she end up on a troubled path? With the help of professional locator Troy Dunn, Dr. Phil reunites Stephanie with her birth mother, Darlene. Is she ready to explain her past? Plus, Troy surprises Stephanie with her older half-sister, Crystal. Emotions run high as the siblings meet for the first time on Dr. Phil’s stage — and Crystal confronts Darlene with some tough questions of her own. When they hear her answers, will the daughters be willing to give Darlene a second chance? Then, former Dr. Phil guests Matt and Melanie's story made national headlines when they were ordered to give their 2-year-old adoptive daughter, Veronica, back to her birth father, Dusten, because of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). In January 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take the case, ultimately ruling that ICWA did not apply — and as a result, the South Carolina Supreme Court ordered Veronica returned to her adoptive parents. Get an update on Veronica, including exclusive footage and the only interview her birth mother has ever given. Plus, now that Veronica is back with Matt and Melanie, how is she adjusting? And, what message does Dusten have for his daughter?
