Christina P. @christina150 Oct 16 This first season was not fully explained how Jerry and Theresa really are, they did not say who the kids really are, they did not explain who their birth parents really are, I did not see Theresa getting pregnant on the show. They most be foster parents and they are adopted. See more james o Mar 29 the series explores the fantasy like Wizarding World.
