Listener discretion is advised. In the previous episode, Teresa and Mike Matheny learned of a secret FBI investigation into Tara Lee and Always Hope. They packed their car with everything they needed to take care of a baby and set out from Atlanta to Detroit in a desperate attempt to rescue their adoption. Their heads were spinning. Did Tara Lee lie to them about Stephanie?
Was the baby boy even real? It didn't even occur to them that their son might also have been promised to another couple in what the FBI would come to call a double match. But there was another couple who wanted their baby, Tammy and Nick Granath. When I met the Granaths at a recording studio near their home in Chicago last fall, Tammy told me she'd been thinking about adopting for a long time.
To be honest, I always knew that likely I couldn't have my own children. I just knew it. So how I felt is I want to adopt.

What did you imagine it would be like?
