Entry #2
We got to see Cori today! Nina is so bad-ass making things work faster! Daddy said it was rude when I rolled my eyes when we got to the group home and they said Nina had to come with me to see Cori in her room because she might have forgotten who I was. I am glad she has her own room even though it is small. Anyway, as I knew Nina didn't even have all the words out of her mouth, Cori jumped off her bed, ran to me and hugged me so tight. It was awesome to see her again! I hugged her back and gave her a big kiss. I missed her and she missed me. I don't care if the staff looked at me weird. I told Cori I had been adopted by two dads and I wanted her to meet them. She took my hand and we walked out to the visiting area, ignoring everyone even Nina.
I am not sure what dad and daddy were thinking when we came into the room. Both of them were smiling. Cori took to dad faster. It's probably because he knows all the silly songs she is used to hearing. That place might look nice and the staff isn't mean at all but Cori doesn't get any love at all! She said she lives there because she is "sick," was "too much work" and "likes hugs too much." She also said no one would want her at their house, including us. All THREE of us were mad hearing that. Dad spoke up and I don't think he was supposed to. He told her she was wrong. We did want her to live at our house, she wasn't too much work. She would get lots of hugs at our house. The two hours went so fast. Cori sobbed when we were leaving and begged me to stay with her. I wanted to cry too but I didn't. I promised her when she was crying in my arms that I would be back in two more days. But it's hard to really believe anything when you have been in the system your whole life. I finally let myself cry in the car. Daddy and dad agreed it wasn't fair we had to leave her behind.
Dad promised me "we would see this through. And not give up," just like they did with me. "I don't know when, but we will bring Cori home." I trust them because I know they could have given up with me but they fought for me.
With the system because they were gay.
And then with Justin Wilson.
Daddy held me when I got home. He told me to try to be patient, yes, we would get Cori home. We all knew without no one else wanted her. Her biological mother abandoned her at a fire station with her umbilical cord still attached under a law that started a few yours ago. But she wasn't hurt. She had to care about Cori some. The only thing in the way is the system. I hope they decide Cori waited long enough. But I had to wait 13 years so it's hard for me to think it will just work out. I didn't want to eat dinner but I had to. If I'm sick I can't go to see Cori again on Friday. My parents are the only ones who can do the legal crap the least I can do is do what I'm supposed to.
