There's a trailer for a documentary about this guy and his family here: https://www.fortydollarsapop.com/
Interesting to actually put faces to the people being discussed in the piece.

In the trailer, it looks like Madi's parents had a bit of mixed feelings on her meeting Aaron - one was happy, the other scared. Since she ultimately ended up moving to live with him (or in the same building?), I wonder how they've reacted since then.
She's an adult so I guess the moving around bit is around right on time anyway, but it does bring up an interesting consequence to this sort of meet-up for younger children, where the kids believe that they'd enjoy living with their biological parent more than they enjoy living with the people that raised them. And it's certainly possible that they might.
(it let's you scrub through the video timeline, and skip parts of the exposition! it contaminates the documentary's artform!)
