A Deadly Adoption Page #3

to cut yourself. It's fine.

I'm so sorry, sir.

No, please,

call me Robert.

Please sit down.

So, tell us

about yourself.

Um, right now I live

in Idaho Falls.

I was going to college,

but I ended up dropping out

because I couldn't afford it.

I was going to take out

one of those student loans,

but I really hate

being in debt.

Sounds like you read one

of my husband's books.

People who read his books

are afraid of being in debt.

That's not true.

My books preach fiscal

responsibility, that's all.

I did read one of

your books, Mr. Benson.

"Debt:
Not Just

a Four-Letter Word?"

Yes, of course.

I'm actually

a really big fan.

- See? What'd I tell you?

- Very smart.

I'm just trying

to save up my money

so that I can get out of

my current living situation.

What is your current

living situation?

I'm in a shelter.

It's okay, though.

Just okay?

I mean, the food

isn't that great

and I don't sleep that well.

I do worry about this

little guy, though.

How so?

I mean, it would

probably be better

if I could rest

a little more, you know.

So you say it's a boy?

Yeah, a boy.

How far along are you?

Six months.

Is it hard?

Well, you know, in the beginning,

there's morning sickness and...

I know why you

wanted to meet me.

And any parent

adopting a child would.

I'm the same.

When I got a call

from the agency

saying they had

found a couple,

I just wanted to be sure.

I love my baby,

and if I could afford

to live in a house like this

and give him a life

like you two could...

I know in my heart

what I'm doing is right.

So the agency will contact

you both if it's a fit

and if Bridgette agrees.

Fingers crossed,

but it looks positive.

Daddy,

look what I can do.

Where's your helmet?

I'm so sorry.

I'm really over-protective

when it comes to kids.

No, don't be sorry,

Ms. Gibson. Sully-

I don't like it on my head.

Here, let me.

Let's keep that

head of yours safe

so you grow up smart

like your mom and dad.

Is she gonna be okay

in that shelter?

It really is

the best place for her.

I'm ahead of my wife

on this one.

What if she were

to stay with us?

People do that,

right?

Well, yes,

it's done all the time,

but you should take time

and think about it.

What do you think

about that, Bridgette?

I wasn't paying attention.

Well, if we were to decide

to go through with it,

would you be comfortable

living here with us?

We'd make it very

comfortable for you.

I wouldn't want

to bother you guys.

Well, why don't

you think about it?

So? Are you gonna

say anything?

About what?

You know about what.

I like her.

I liked her a lot.

It's just

a big decision.

Sarah, it's just we don't even
