Summary: FAMILY REUNITED. A father who lost custody of his three sons when he was deported from the U.S. two years ago, has now been granted the right to reunite with them. Felipe Montes was deported in October 2010, and his children are now 2,3, and 5. This edition takes a look at what this case can mean for the thousands of other U.S. citizen children placed in foster care after their parents were deported.
