During the interview, Sia also spoke about her decision to adopt and explained that her sons actually could have remained in foster care until they were 21. However, she wanted to get them out of the system so they could have a more stable life. Adding to the same, Sia remarked that she was a bit jaded after investigating the foster system as she discovered that the whole system was failing, as per her sons' experience. Sia revealed that both her sons experienced "conditioning and complex trauma" in foster care and has now enrolled them in trauma programs.
