Lie to Me · Season 1, Episode 15

Gillian Foster and Mrs. Birch in “Unfinished Business”

(Mrs. Birch is too afraid to approach her daughter.)

You reach out to her and then she rejects you. And you can't help but recoil.

BMrs. Birch

You don't know what it's like. You're not a mother.

No, but I was. My husband and I adopted a baby girl last year. We brought her home from Delaware and we bathed her and rocked her to sleep and built her a nursery. In Delaware, the birth mother has 60 days to change her mind. We made it to day 57. You know, I didn't get to keep my baby, but yours is right there. You know, you need to talk to her.

BMrs. Birch

What was your daughter's name?

Sophie.
