Sarah has had some pretty hard breaks. When she was 10,
her parents died from being mauled by bears in the Catacombs,
and she was left to the care of her uncle, Sid Vicious. However, her uncle
was mean spirited, evil, neurotic, insane, he dislikes children, and he
is a klepto. He constantly yelled and fought
with Sarah, criticized her, and kept her from school. Sid
is also involved in the criminal career.
Sage told me all of this, and I immediately took action.
I called up her uncle, and asked him to meet me at City Hall.
He agreed after much of my pleading, and showed up an hour
after I got there. Sid was obviously not fit to be a guardian,
and I asked him if he even wanted Sarah living with him.
"Why in the world would I want a moody teenager in my house?!
She is always locked her door on me and she wouldn't be home
all day to clean my house. I hate
that little prick. But I'm stuck with her!"
He angered me just by looking at him, but I had to keep my cool
in order to convince Sid to listen to me.
"What if I told you that you wouldn't have to deal with her ever again?"
"That's impossible. No one will take her."
My eyes widened. "You've tried to get rid of her before?"
"Duh. I didn't want some snobby, rich, 10 year old
cramping my style. I tried to get her money and
get rid of her."
"I will take her." I stated. He took a step back.
"Are you insane?!" He yelled.
"No I'm not insane. I've raised 5 teenagers already and I currently
have a teenage son living with me. Sarah will live with me and
my family, and you'll never have to see her again. I talked
to my friend who is a Social Worker, and she said since Sarah
is only 16, I can legally adopt her, and having a
closed adoption is one of your choices if you agree
to give her up."
"Finally! Take her! I don't want her money or anything. Just get
her out of my house!"
I sighed with relief. "Please sign here, here, and here. I will
take care of the rest."
Sid snatched the paper out of my hands, scribbled his signature on the lines,
and thrust it back to me. "Are we done here? I gotta go."
"Yes we're done. Thank you Sid."
"Yeah, whatever, bye." He turned around and sprinted away.
I smiled to myself. Even though Sarah would not be counted in
my 100 Baby Challenge, I was happy I have the opportunity
to change her life.
After Sarah's adoption was finalized, I came home to find Gage
standing at my door with his son that he had with Yumi.
"Hey baby, surprise! I wanted my son to meet his newest siblings!"
"Gage, I'm sorry. I'm not your baby, and I can't have you
hovering in my life. It's against my rules for the challenge,
and I am not going to sacrifice my challenge so we can be together."
"What?! You made me to break up with Yumi and now you tell
me that I can't be your boyfriend?!"
"Listen to me," I said, starting to get angry, "I suggested that you and Yumi
should break up, I did not make you break up with her. You knew
the rules to my challenge, and you knew what you were
getting into when you agreed to participate.
The only emotional ties I can have in this challenge are
the ones to my family and my friends who are
supporting me in this challenge. I'm going to have to ask you to
leave now. Goodbye Gage." I walked away before he could
reply.
I needed to get some sleep. I had a very long day.
My first blond baby! Seana as a toddler,
