The Matheny's dream came true. But after they got home, settled in, they said they felt guilty. Even though they'd been through hell to adopt their son, they got him. But one couple didn't. Teresa told me the name of a couple besides the Graniths who she believes Tara Lee might have matched with Stephanie. The couple who didn't get the baby. I reached out to them and have not heard back.

So I'm not going to share their names. For many of the couples, the painful experience of working with Tara Lee remains private. In November 2018, while the Mathenys were still in Detroit, FBI agent Matt Sluss was uncovering a trove of evidence of wire fraud, enough to get a search warrant for Tara Lee's house. And Courtney's Facebook group now included the Mathenys and over 100 other couples.

But one couple wouldn't reply to Courtney's messages because they firmly believed that Tara Lee was innocent. They believed that her side of the story was the truth.
