00:00:07,750 -- 00:00:10,333
IRENE TAYLOR BRODSKY:
When my son turned four,
the audible world closed shut.
00:00:10,583 -- 00:00:13,041
JONAS BRODSKY:
Got my first implant
when I was four.
00:00:13,500 -- 00:00:15,792
PAUL:
00:00:17,792 -- 00:00:19,000
[inhales]
00:00:19,083 -- 00:00:19,959
[uplifting music plays]
00:00:20,583 -- 00:00:23,083
JONAS:
When I play without my implants,
I can let my mind wander.
00:00:23,375 -- 00:00:25,166
IRENE:
If deafness is a mutation,
00:00:25,250 -- 00:00:28,542
then maybe our mistakes
become our music.
00:00:30,542 -- 00:00:31,458
[plays piano key]
10
00:00:31,542 -- 00:00:32,750

Narrator:
More than eight million
children around the world
15
00:01:06,166 -- 00:01:08,375
live in orphanages.
16
00:01:08,458 -- 00:01:11,125
Most of them are not orphans.
17
00:01:12,417 -- 00:01:14,458
They have been
separated from their families
18
00:01:14,542 -- 00:01:18,083
because of poverty,
disaster, or discrimination.
19
00:01:20,208 -- 00:01:23,792
Research has shown
that children need
families to flourish
20
00:01:23,875 -- 00:01:26,375
and that orphanages
can harm children,
21
00:01:26,458 -- 00:01:29,375
exposing them to abuse
and trafficking.
22
00:01:31,333 -- 00:01:33,083
There is a growing
movement to rescue
23
00:01:33,166 -- 00:01:34,959
these eight million
hidden children
24
00:01:35,041 -- 00:01:36,709
and return them
to their families
25
00:01:36,792 -- 00:01:38,834
or place them
in loving homes.
26
00:01:40,583 -- 00:01:43,792
These are six stories
of children
27
00:01:43,875 -- 00:01:45,667
who have found
their way home.

They do not have any, um,
information from the orphanages.
186
00:42:28,875 -- 00:42:30,500

to trace the families
of the kids.
188
00:42:33,417 -- 00:42:34,417
