39:49Now PlayingTeenage Leticia, feeling alienated from her mostly white community, starts getting into trouble. But when her adoptive mother threatens to send her back to the child welfare system, the 13-year-old is shocked. Would she really give up the child she fought all the way to the Supreme Court to adopt?
Host Falen Johnson and journalist Dawna Dingwall unpack the impact of the court judgement on Leticia, her personal struggles to overcome the trauma that followed the SCC ruling and her quest to understand how Racine v Woods impacted not just her, but children across Canada.
This episode is Part 3 of three.
