Synopsis
Michael and Jane had three children, Mark, Melinda and Jimmy, and found it difficult to make ends meet. Things grew tighter financially and in terms of space when the Mulligans took in their nephew and nieces Adam (nicknamed Moose), Polaris (nicknamed Polly), and Starshine (nicknamed Stevie), after their parents were killed in a plane crash. The Freedmans had already been in the process of adopting another child, the Vietnamese-born Kimmy, leaving the Mulligans to finalize the adoption.
