With no Tara. And so we just kind of start talking and we find one of those just little random like sitting areas. She was like, oh, Tara's upset with you guys about something. Okay. I said, she wants us to pay her more money and we're not going to pay her. She's not providing the services. The rent wasn't paid. Their electric was about to be cut off. No insurance on the cars.
The tires hadn't been put on. There's no food in the house. I said, I can do one of two things. I said, I can either pay Tara so that she goes away, or we can tell Tara to fuck off, and I can put that money to use to help you guys. I had spoken to the attorneys.
The attorneys confirmed that as long as everything was documented and we weren't giving cash, I could pay their rent and then submit receipts directly myself. And so that was what we chose to do.
Tara was literally marching around the hospital trying to find us. And we're sitting at a table and Tanya's got her phone. Tara called her no less than 15 times.
Just calling over and over and over again. Like this is how convoluted it got. Talia called me and said, hey, I've got to send your wife a text. I want you to know it's not real. I need to send it so I can screenshot it and send it back to Tara. It was time to turn Tara Lee's tactics against her.
And so Talia sends Teresa this text basically like demanding the attorney's fee, accusing us of being shady and blah, blah, blah. Talia was like, now I need your wife to respond back to that text so I can screenshot and send the answer. So, like, we answer from Teresa's phone saying, oh, I'm so sorry. We don't mean to be shady. I have to transfer some money from a brokerage account.
The transfer is going to take a few days. You know, blah, blah, blah. Like, you know, so that was how we bought time. So, of course, you know, I'm like... And please let Tara know that she's been such an angel through this whole process, you know, like just like really like overplaying the hand.
It was like after Talia sends it to Tara, then Tara responds and was like, well, at least she recognizes it. Tara Lee never got her $4,000.
It's like my first time driving with a baby. Yeah.
And it's pouring and he screamed like the whole way.
He decided that he was over it by the time we hit like southern Ohio. And then it rained. Yes, the entire way home. I'm talking port from southern Ohio through Kentucky, through Tennessee, all the way to the doorstep.

She said, it's got to be business as usual.
We're still trying to figure out which way is up. Who's on our team? Who's not? What's true? What's real? Don't talk to these women.
We're, like, in the middle of it. Tara's got our money. We're already in Detroit.
By Tuesday, I literally was like, if this dinner, like, if we don't meet these people today, like, we're leaving. I'm out of here. Next time on Baby Broker. As we drive to Port Huron, it's supposed to be me and Teresa, birth mom, birth father, and Tara. The FBI gets involved.
We don't know anything about birth mom's medical condition. It was high risk.
Anything's better than Matheny.
That's how we identify telemarketers. Or people asking if we want to sell our house.
Oh, shoot.
At the time I was a recruiter, Mike helps people find jobs, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
