Yeah I remember that movie. I saw it years ago when I was a kid on Christmas Eve. There were 2 sequels. I later learned the foster father was played by the late John Ritter. Also his wife I think was played by that woman from The Mask, the one who betrayed Jim Carrey to the bad guys. She also appeared in the sequel playing a completely different role. Also that guy who voice the parrot Iago in Disney's Aladdin was in all 3 of them.
The actress was Amy Yasbeck. She and Ritter were also married in real life.
And Gilbert Gottfried played the parrot.
