pass sibling relationships down? was the fact that my father had such a difficult relationship with his older sister, was that the thing? going into writing this book i would say there it is, it is passed down. the fact is my brother and i were with able to get passed this. my brother would say you have so many damned theories, just go forward, live your life. don't be with so obsessed with the passed. he turned out to be a guru figure for me. sometimes you don't get to understand everything. >> what turned, finally? i mean he is on some levels, cranky, right up until the last day, so what changed for you and would this have happened if he didn't have a life threatening illness crisis? >> i have often asked that. i don't know what the answer to that is. what changed that is so profound and fundamental and coming over on the plane, i wrote 5 points that i thought was that worked for me in transforming. many people have said to me, how do we make it better with a sibling? what changed for us was the first thing that ha

why do we love our siblings? >> no one with loves us better. william james often wrote about the core of self. that core of self is hidden from our parents. we hide from our parents but we don't from our siblings, they know every aspect of us. it is why they can drive us crazy, it is why when we have a problem, our impulse is to want our brother or sister right next to us. no one with could be closer. there is that pull. that pull is so powerful. it was a love story, always. >> do you think you knew that before you started writing this? >> i knew i had to be as close to my brother as i could possibly be. i am sure that pull is part of it. >> you have a daughter and stepson as well? >> i have 1 daughter and 1 stepson who i am close to. >> has this changed how you are around them as well? >> absolutely. my daughter casey has a half brother she is very close to. i say to all of them, you are a team. you have each other through life. you are a team. you do a lot of things together as the 2 families, very, very close. >> this seems like a good momen

so many of us carry around this sibling thing in the attic thing. it came to me because something happened in our life which transformed our relationship. it was huge for me and huge for him. we learned how to become a team. and we had, my brother had a crisis and wrote me a letter about it, kind of a stunning letter that came like a time bomb, when he was quite young, barely 50 that he had a rare form of non smoker's lung cancer. it was all typed out like the fruit in a control freak way, a lawyers letter that came by fed excompletely mysterious when we had just been together at thanksgiving for 4 or 5 days. i get this manifesto, i am asking you to save my life. my life changed completely when that letter came into my life. then the great task was with how to come together, which we did. again, it was a huge experience. i never thought i would write about it. i didn't think i could bring myself to. >> yet you took notes all the way through? >> of course. i write in a journal almost everyday. i was trying to come up with a new book idea. i wanted to

. >> and it was wonderful and inspiring to hear from your sibling that daddy and mommy made sure thate involved in everything. it wasn't by chance that would happen, but it really was deliberate, it was by design and even the letters from your dad to some of your siblings about why they were being exposed to certain things was just so inspiring. >> there's some wonderful moments in the film, i think, where you really show and see how integrated the children are in my mother and father's life and whether it's on the campaign trail or there's been wonderful scene in the movie where during the civil rights movement and the integration of the university of alabama and my sister carrie is talking to my father, or is in his office and gets on the phone with nick katzenbach in the middle of this crisis. you can see how integrated the children are in my parents' lives. one of the issues which is that my father was so busy during that time, there was so much going on, my mother was too, that they didn't want to choose between leaving the kids home, doing the work that they were doing and they

now, benjamin and adrian decided to adopt some children from oregon who were all siblings, who had been separated in foster homes. they didn't want them to be separated any longer. so they adopted all five of them. and they're about to meet them at the airport to bring them home. >> oh! what a ginormous heart. >> a lot of the older kids, they had forgotten. once they get to a certain point, they just -- you know, they'll get stuck in the system, and then what? >> these kids, between the ages of 6 and 12 had been bouncing around to foster homes, and didn't get to live all together. >> that's wild. they're going to double their family size, and then some. >> watch this moment at the airport. it is so beautiful. >> oh. there they are. >> here come all of the children. >> they come and meet their any sublings. they hug their new parents and they call them mom and dad. >> good to see you. >> and their foster parents had made shirts for them that say -- >> team donner. >> that's our last name. >> ah! how rewarding this must be for them, because they're changing the lives of five siblings, who

> guest: well, i'd been separated from my father for eight years come this when he to mexico, my siblings and i convinced him to bring us back here because he wasn't going to come back to mexico and we didn't want to spend any more time separated from him. so we take him to bring us here. my father didn't want to bring me because i was nine and a half and he thought it would be able to make it across the border because we had to run across illegally. so i begged him to bring me here and we took a bus from mexico city to tijuana. >> host: right on the border. just go right on the border. and it was a very long today best night because i had rarely been in any kind of cars or any public transportation and i got car sick many, many times along the way. but when we got to the border, my father hired a smuggler to bring us across. >> host: what you burden i'm sure you remember about that experience? >> guest: i remember how much walking their ways. i remember having a lot of guilt because my father was right. i was too little to be making that kind of crossing and i would get tired and complai

backseat, and he wouldn't let us sit up because we could get pulled over by border patrol, so my siblings and i spent the whole car ride basically lying down, and it was not until we got, like, in santa ana when he said, okay, you can get up now, and so that -- you know, just seeing all of the things outside the window was so amazing, like, -- like, i remember all the palm trees. in my hometown, we didn't have palm trees, and just the streets that never seemed to end and the buildings seemed to reach the sky. it was just amazing, just really amazing. expwhrs where did -- >> host: where did you live in l.a. when you got here? >> guest: in highland park in northeast los angeles, and it was predominantly a latino community. >> host: mostly illegal? >> guest: i think it was a combination, yeah, there were a lot of immigrant families, but, you know, there were also the legal and illegal families. >> host: how did the legals view the illegals? >> guest: i'm not too sure about that because as a child, i don't think i was too aware of that kind of response from the adults, but what i do remember

if you're concerned about your siblings then how can we make sure that their needs get met?so really, i think we just need to encourage adults to not ignore signs that a child is struggling and reach out to children and to kids to say if you have one caring adult in your life who is in your corner that can make all the difference for you. absolutely. i absolutely think so and you know the issue is that today the school systems are really so overburdened by so many budget considerations and cuts, you know, to social workers and cuts to this and that. and yet, you know, as you mentioned, just that one person because oftentimes-and correct me if i'm wrong, you're the experts-the child may think that it's their fault what's happening in the home. absolutely. i think the messages that we give children about what's happening, i think children can handle straight talk about their problems at home if we deliver it to them in ways that are age appropriate. so we often talk in the context of children who have an addicted parent or children who have a parent with mental illness problem
