Too All, First let me thank each of you for your prayers and help..not sure I would of made it with out all of them.
The address of Codys, father took me to the trailer park, of a lot of Drug people. My sister in law was in total shock.. One such very strung out druggie, ( pretty high) with eyes bugged out.. dirty and about 275 lbs of blubber, long hair , beard unclean... offered to take me to the fathers home... I asked if he wanted me to follow him or ride with me. lol... SIL, was not happy with that.. he choze to come with me.... sil. about fainted as she was grabing my drug bag.( she called it medicine bag) she got my traveling tiny bag with money and bank cards and was really reagranging that van LOL. We got to home no father... we went to second home and out came the second druggie, high.. with beer can in his hands dogs and all. said his wife was in prison and he got custody of his three small kids... still no father but he told us where he could be found. Went back made some phone calls from other druggies, trailer and up popped Cody,s father on the phone. He was really surprized, I had found him and I told him point out what I was there for. He told me he had a problem in signing his rights away. I let him know that I was prepaired to serve him , but would drather he reconsidered, If he signed his rights away that later down the line he could tell Cody, that he did love him in his own way and that it was best for Cody, to be with us and a stable home. that if we took his rights away and the court would do that... he would have to live with the fact he was judged a unfit father in a court of law and his son might not understand that. I then asked him if he would like to see his son. He asked me to give him a hour to think about it and he would meet me at his home. in one hour... I asked him if he would be there if I went back to the home... he said he would. It took me a hour to find the house again as his friend had really put me in all directions ( which I am sure on purpose) but did find the home. I knocked on door and there he stood. I said do you want to see your son.. he came to the van... I opened the door had Cody, to get out. and give him five. never telling Cody, who he was.... I saw the tears come to his eyes... he was pretty upset.... I asked him what he was expecting to see a small infant that he had left in Cal.... thru his tears he said yes... with that he said where are the papers I will sign them.. I told him I had to call a notary , and they would be there in one hour. He watch his son play around him and the tears were pretty free. I took pictures of the two of them together... When the notary arrived...Codys, dad had no identifacation, not even a driver's license... if he had one it was not in his name..... my heart really sunk on that one... He went to get the friend that I knew was drunk on drugs and booze to indentify him.... I waited, in the drug infested neighbor hood with my SIL ready for the big one. He returned with his landlord, who did have some identication and he said it was his tenent of two years.... when he singed his name there was tears again..... I placed my arms around him and told him that I really felt sorry for him ... that I really wanted him to be a part of his sons life.... and to call me collect and write to us... That Cody, would want to find him later.... he said he would be there. his emotions, really got to him he said he would be ok he was a big boy now...I had Cody, to give him five again, he wipe his tears and climb into his car and backed out to return to his drug friends. I climbed into van and got it to H-----.. out of Ft. Worth... here we were 2 women a child, out of state plate, in a drug neighbor hood... now something told me time to roll... I know I should of felt comtempt but it wasn't in me... I was upset for him most of the way home before I got angry... What could of been and what a waste of his life..... Cody, will be the better for it... but he still needs to know his roots. Audean. who felt the tears of a father.
