because I don't.

R & B ]

- Rip. What's up, man? How are you?

Yo, Rip.

Who's that?

- This was a great night.

- Yeah.

You look like an angel.

Rip, I need to talk to you

about something.

Yeah?

What?

What is it, baby?

Um-

Whatever it is, it's okay.

You can tell me, you know.

After you went away...

It was so hard for me, Rip.

It was just so hard.

- I know. Honey, I'm sorry.

- No.

I couldn't even find a job at first,

and then, um-

then I-I-

I found out I was pregnant.

You what?

And I didn't want to have an abortion,

because it was-

It was a part of you and me, Rip.

But I just, uh-

I just kept thinking...

About how hard my childhood was...

With- with my father...

And how hard yours was...

And with how things were

between you and me at that time.

I just thought it was better for-

So, my mother, she signed for you.

I gave-

I gave the baby up for adoption.

I gave him away.

Please say something, Rip.

You said "him. "

You said "him. " It was a boy?

I gave him away.

I- I gave away our boy.

Im- I'm so sorry.

This is okay.

I couldn't have been a father, honey-

not then, not the man I was then.

You don't have to say that, sweetheart.

Honey, don't- don't cry.

Baby, we gotta get him back.

We can't.

- We gave him away.

- No.

Baby, I didn't sign anything.

I didn't sign anything.

We need to get our son back.

Okay? I'm gonna make this right for you.

Okay? Come here.

Come here.

- It's okay.

- Oh.

It's okay. All right?

We'll get him back.

Gotta go!

I gotta go! I gotta go!

Careful, sweetie.

You have the eggs.

- Why'd you give me the eggs?

- 'Cause it was the lightest one.

- I gotta pee!

- Okay. Remember to put the toilet seat down.

Put it up first, and then put it down.

I know how to use the toilet, Mommy.

This is Alyson Bower

of the Ohio Department of Child Services.

I'm calling for Mr. and Mrs. -

Your Honor I'd just like to point out..

That this child is in private school...

And he's very well-adjusted.

Whereas, these people, the birth parents,

have no parental experience.

I appreciate it, Mrs. Bower,

but that doesn't change the forgery.

Have a seat.

- Thank you.

- Mrs. Porter?

Who signed these papers?

Well, I assumed my husband did.

- I can explain, Your Honor-

- I wasn't talking to you.

Mrs. Porter.

After Rip was put away...

I decided to adopt out the baby.

And so I took the papers to the prison...

But because Rip and I

weren't on speaking terms...

I gave them to a guard to give to him...

And someone on the inside

must have signed his name.

Let's I find out who did sign those papers,

he's going to the same prison you did.

Yes, sir.

You're going to tell me...
