It's snowing. It's freezing. We walked in with all of the victims through the front door of the courthouse. in a line, we were all together. And we all sat in the jurors box.
And they got to meet us for the first time. And it was amazing. I know that it was scary, I think, for all of us because of this connection that we had had. And I call him Baby Boy because, like, obviously we had our name picked.
We had never heard anything about this guy named Jay. He was introduced to us as someone that would be witnessing our birth father signing away his rights because that's what we were doing that night.
You could tell that the birth parents loved each other very much.
So then Tara jumps in. She goes, that's not true. That is not true. That is not what the doctors said. You are 40 weeks old. You know, and our birth mom just kind of cowers down.
You've got vulnerable birth parents. You've got vulnerable adoptive parents.
It's a perfect scam.
Heart attack, stroke, cancer.
No, no, not at all. And we knew it was bullshit. We knew.
Our birth mom is hooked up to the monitors. She is frantically trying to get a hold of her partner who doesn't have the phone. She's terrified. She's alone. She doesn't know us. She has no support there.
And that's when I started recording.
She whispered to me and said, you know you still have a balance due to me.
She was like, just go to the NICU or whatever. And I'm sitting here looking at this human being, a woman who has carried this baby for nine months, has given this baby up for adoption and has no one there with her. It was heartbreaking. The most important thing to me at that moment was consoling her. And I asked her permission. I said, is this okay? Is it okay for me to go to the NICU?
And she said, yes. And so that's when I went to the NICU.
And I saw his little face and he was just so sweet.
His hand was as big as his body. He was just precious. He was five pounds, four ounces. He was a tiny little thing. And yeah, he was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. He was so sweet. He had like the cutest little nose. He was just perfect to my eyes. I mean, he was just, you know, he also seemed like he was very alert, you know, he was just, Beautiful. I don't know.
It felt like he was mine, if that makes sense.
I couldn't believe it. I was like, oh my gosh, like, this is real. Like, we have a son. Like, this is crazy.
So no one knew about the FBI. So the hospital, they thought we were crazy.
Yeah. She's blowing Tanya's phone up.
