Being a mom isn't easy, especially when you're a single parent. Children can be so unpredictable and as a parent, you have to be ready for all kinds of situations. When single mom Janice Williams' son Luke came home from school claiming that he found his twin, she didn’t think anything of it. She had no idea that her son would soon uncover a hidden secret that would turn their family’s life upside down.

Kati Pohler always knew she was adopted. This hasn't kept her from leading a happy, fulfilling life any American teen would dream having. Her adoptive parents were open about her adoption, and didn't keep anything away from their little girl. Well, almost anything… There was one small secret that had been kept from Kati her entire life – a letter that her birth parents had written for her that contained a special request. The Pohlers wanted their daughter to have a normal, happy childhood, and they certainly didn't mean to burden her with the painful truth about her difficult start at life. So they made a decision: Kati would not receive the letter until she went to college. But Katie had grown up, and it was now time to reveal the truth. She was about to face one of the biggest decisions of her life. Would she fulfil her birth parents' request from all those years ago?
