Another story from last month!!!!! Life is beautiful

On September 18th we went to court so we could get custody of Dani, There was her father, her sister, the family that had prior custody, social worker and the court appointed lawyer.

As soon as we went in, the judge was told what was going on and asked the prior family if they had given permission to Dani to stay at our home. They said no, and immediately she was placed under detention and escorted to a holding cell. Then the judge asked what was going on, the other family said that Dani was a spoiled brat that just didn’t get her way and left home. The judge said that he was the only one authorized to say where she could live and because Dani had no permission to stay at our home she was a runaway. He ordered to the social worker to go and inspect my house and we were to be back to court that afternoon. On that note we were dismissed.

Outside the court room, talking to the lawyer the family said that she was just an opportunistic little spoiled brat that was just looking for the best deal.
When it was our turn to speak we told her that there were not indications of that behavior and she had not given us any problem in the three weeks she had been staying with us.
At that time my wife had to go home and wait for the social worker to inspect our home. On the way, the lawyer called my wife and told her that Dani was asking for something to eat, my wife broke down on the phone and the lawyer was able to give some words of encouragement.
That afternoon, when we were all back in the court room, the judge called in Dani and explained her that we were her last chance and the he knew what was bet for her. He asked us that if we knew what we were getting into and we responded that we both knew.
Her handcuffs were removed and at that moment she was given temporary custody until October 9th, when the judge will give us full custody.

I have so much more to tell…….
