Is This the Child Kevin and Scotty Might Adopt on "Brothers & Sisters?"

***WARNING** This post discusses potential major plot points for Brothers & Sisters

Remember how this was the season Brothers &  Sisters' Kevin and Scotty were rumored to be adopting a kid since their attempts at surrogcay had failed? Way back in episode 5.02 it looked like that kid might be Mateo, a teenager Kevin represented in court who didn't want to go back home. But Kevin and Scotty did take return him home, although at the time we thought perhaps we'd see him again shortly.

He hasn't been seen since. Of course, Kevin and Scotty have been busy with other things — like infidelity, conference phone calls and drinking copious amounts of wine. But now that our favorite gay couple is past Scotty's little indiscretion, it looks like adoption is back on the table.

These promo pics from ABC for the January 16 episode "Safe at Home" look like some sort of adoption might be moving ahead. But instead of adopting Mateo, it looks like Kevin and Scotty might be looking to take in a little girl named Olivia (Isabella Rae Thomas) who viewers will first see on the January 2nd episode "Scandalized."

Here are pics from that episode as well as from the January 9th episode "Thanks for the Memories" with Richard Chamberlain.

KEVIN: I'd like to order a precocious child. With extra precociousness.
Yes, for delivery.

KEVIN: Here, Olivia. We got you a present.
SCOTTY (to self): I can't believe Kevin thought this was a good gift...

OLIVIA:: Um, who is Judy Garland and
why did you give me some of her hair?

OLIVIA: Okay, I'll write a 1,000 word essay about what "Over the Rainbow" means to me.

OLIVIA (in journal): Dear Diary, I want to go back to the orphanage.
The tall, skinny one seems fine, but the short one
has gotta be trouble.
