When the boy says he misses his two best friends from the children's home, the couple goes to meet the other two boys -- one of whom is African-American and the other being Asian. After some hesitancy, the couple quickly adopts them. A next-door neighbor, the aptly-named Mrs. Payne complains about the decision, three boys causing a ruckus, especially "the minorities".
