Oh, we were 100% side Tara. They felt this way even after Courtney and the Facebook group tried to get them to see the truth. Even after the FBI raided Tara Lee's house. Even after Heather Catalo's news reports alleging Tara Lee was a fraudster. And even after they'd been through three failed adoptions with Tara Lee.

Because every night they put their adopted son to bed was a reminder of what Tara Lee had done for them in the beginning. Their gratitude for that successful adoption blinded them to her manipulations. Adam and Kyle lived just 30 minutes away from Tara Lee and had become very close friends.

As other couples bonded over the shared trauma of being defrauded by Tara Lee, Adam and Kyle bonded with Tara Lee over her trauma of being investigated.

It would take a lot of time for them to see past what they wanted to believe. It would take reading her indictment to realize they weren't all that different from the other couples she'd defrauded. The couples they thought were the enemy. to realize they'd been duped.

The dupe began in 2017. Adam and Kyle had just gotten married. Kyle had gone to middle school with Tara Lee and heard she facilitated adoptions. They hadn't talked in years, but he reached out to her. Weeks later, Tara Lee matched them with a 22-year-old birth mother who was pregnant with a boy. She was homeless, staying on people's couches, and living out of her car.

They helped her move into a rental house, they got her furniture, and they sent Tara Lee $14,000. That was a lot of money for them. Kyle works in IT. Adam had a job at a local bank. They put some of it on their credit cards. And it worked out. Adam and Kyle were in the delivery room when their son was born, and they had a close relationship with their birth mother.

Adam lives in the semi-rural plains north of Detroit. I met him at a recording studio above a Walgreens near his house. He drove there in an old pickup truck after dropping his son off at school. Adam's a visual artist, like his mom. He's around 40, kind, and outgoing. He had a coffee from Tim Hortons, the Canadian Starbucks.
