A Dr. Phil Family Archive

To help Alexandra decide whether to keep her baby or place it for adoption, she talks to three teens: one who was adopted, one who placed her baby for adoption and another who kept her child.


"If you were going to trade life situations with one of those three girls, who would you want to trade with?" Dr. Phil asks Alexandra after her meeting with the girls.


Dr. Phil goes one-on-one with Martin to uncover his true motivation for encouraging Alexandra to keep her baby.


After learning of Martin's harrowing past, his family has some thoughts they want to share with him.
