McCallister Family

In this episode, Jo heads to Banning, California, on a rescue mission to help mom Tayla (34) and dad Paul (35) take back control of their out-of-control adopted children: sons 2-year-old Basil (adopted from Greece), 20-month-old Collin (adopted from Ireland), 3-year-old Bing (adopted from Germany) and 11-month-old Lemon (adopted from Scotland) along with daughters, 4 1/2-year-old Marsala and 2-year-old Dolce (adopted from Italy), 18-month-old Coco and 4-year-old Brie (adopted from France), 3-year-old Margarita and 22-month-old Ambrosia (adopted from Greece), 5-year-old Reese (adopted from Wales) and 4-month-old Java (adopted from Malaysia). These children do not speak English very well and they have a hard time communicating. They get angry and frustrated, and they do all sorts of odd stuff around the clock, such as biting, hitting, throwing things, scratching, kicking, and fighting. Can Jo help out this family before things get any uglier?
