Listen, like, she's rough around the edges. She cusses like a sailor. She's covered in tattoos. She's very passionate. She's scatterbrained. She's amazing. Does a lot for the birth moms. And so we're like, oh, wow, this woman is incredible.
You know, we're so excited.
She was like, the birth parents chose you. I'm like, oh my gosh, I've got to call Mike. You've got to get back to the room. You're not going to believe this, that like we're matched. And he's like, what?
We'll call him Baby S. So we were told that she was due on October 11th.
Tara said, I need $8,000 for birth mom expenses and a separate $5,000 payment for doula and counseling services.
Yes, because that never happens.
So Friday, we had dinner with my mother at Ippolito's.
And it said, has anyone here worked with Tara Lee in Always Hope? And it was very simple like that. I just kind of went, huh. I did respond to the email and said, actually, we are working with Tara Lee through our agency and we have a match. We're leaving tomorrow for Michigan. Our baby is gonna be born next week.
Do not call Tara Lee. Do not speak with anyone. Someone will be in contact with you soon. I tried to call her again. She refused to answer. I blew her phone up. At this point, I'm like starting to get my anxiety. I'm going, what is going on? Something is wrong. And so it occurred to me, you know, we were signed with Talia and Tanya because they would be representing us and our birth mom.
This is the part that really haunts me the most about it all. And so I called Tanya and I said, I just got this email. What is going on? She goes, oh my God. And I'm sobbing. She said, Teresa, you cannot tell anyone this. You cannot tell anyone. Tara is under investigation with the FBI. And I screamed. I screamed like I could hear it in my ears.
So we were told that she was due on October 11th.
She was like, can I patch her at?
Tara asked, Do you choose them to parent your child? And she said yes.
After we got off that phone call, she was like, okay, so I'm going to put you and myself and your birth mom into like a group chat. And she was like, the reason why I do that is so in case things get awkward, I can kind of step in and kind of smooth things out.
We were told that we would be there probably two weeks. He would most likely go into the NICU for a little bit.
Please know that your birth parents are being taken care of. I have staff. I'll be back in communication later.
I mean, just some like, how are you doing? How are you feeling? But she wouldn't answer.
And I was like, oh my gosh, we have to leave, you know, in a week and a half. And she goes, you don't need to leave in a week. The baby's not due till the end of the month.
that they basically don't do as they're supposed to do, like, you know, go to their doctor's appointments. They don't take her phone calls. They don't basically do what she tells them to do is kind of what I thought she meant by that.
So we had a little white Jenny Lind crib, and the walls were kind of like a mint green, gender neutral, and had a little, you know, chair with an ottoman and stuffed animals.
