his biological family?

- Yeah, yeah, and I've tried to
talk to him about it, but--

- But it's the last thing
he wants to do.

- Yeah.
- Look, I get it.

- Severide says that you deal
with teenagers all the time.

How?

- Honestly,

sometimes it's just about
letting them be jerks

when they need to be.

Most of us were like that
at that age.

- Yeah, yeah, I get that.

And I try to relate,
but you know, the truth is

that I don't know
what it's like

to not have a biological family
in your life.

And this thing with Javi,
is it just a curiosity,

or is it

him searching for something
that he just can't get from us?

- Look,

in my experience
with adopted and foster kids,

you know, being curious about
their biological family

is completely normal,

and it has nothing to do
with their feelings

about their adoptive parents.

- Then what is it about?

- It's the same thing that
family history is about

for all of us--

just trying to figure out
who we are.

And a lot of the times
for a kid like Javi,

really understanding
who they are

starts with understanding
where they came from.
