A Choice Is Made Chapter 63
Judge: What major decisions have you made for this child?
Bette: Tina and I have made major decisions for Angelica together. We have chosen childcare and now preschool together. Agreed on doctors and both cared for her while she’s been ill. We chose the new furniture for her room. She now has a crib that will convert to a child bed. I’d like her to attend my alma mater and Tina is warming to the idea of our child being a Yalie. We’ve both consoled her at times and set limits at other times.
Judge: You sound like you’ve been very active in her life and definitely planned a future for her. Tell me some unique things about Angelica.
Bette: She loves pancakes, especially from our neighborhood New York diner.
Angelica: Haf pancakes Momma. Good.
Bette: I’m glad you liked your pancakes this morning Boo.
Angelica: Wanna play ‘raf Momma.
Judge: Who is Raf?
Bette: Giraffe is Angelica’s first riding toy. My sister gave it to her for her first birthday last year. She loves riding that thing and occasionally she wears herself out on it and Tina and I split duty. One of us carries the baby home from the park and the other carries Giraffe. Recently we had to get an outdoor café table for four, Giraffe came out to dinner with us.
Judge: Oh my.
Bette: They were very accommodating. Giraffe got his own water bowl and we had lovely family dinner.
Judge: It seems you three are already a fully functioning family. Usually I counsel families on the seriousness of the step they are taking today. It seems this is simply the next step as you both have taken your roles as parents seriously and are acting responsibly on behalf of this child. I hope I don’t have cause to see you in this courtroom again after I grant this adoption. Congratulations Elizabeth Porter you are now legally the parent of Angelica Kennard.
Ingrid: Thank you for you time today judge. We will see the bailiff for the necessary paperwork.
Tina: Thank you. Thank you this really does mean the world to us.
Bette: Thank you judge I am honored to be Angelica’s parent and we won’t let you down.

Great chapters. I loved the way you let Bette and Tina forgive David. He understood what he had done and Bette making it clear she wont tolerate any disrespect ever again. It’s good to see that it is possible to grow together again. Maybe Tina will try with her family again too.
You had me weeping. NYer’s don’t weep, we are strong. But, this was worth it. AWESOME story. I agree with the readers, I LOVE this story. You have done a fantastic job with this. I’m ecstatic that Bette was finally recognized as Angie momma. I am also happy that Bette gave David another chance, BUT, warned him that she will rip him to shreds if he harms Angie in any way. CONGRATS to the Porter-Kennard’s. (Peggy, I am adoptable.) I cannot wait for them to arrive in my new hometown of Orlando. WooooooooHoooooooooo.
Absolutely. Utterly. Perfect. Thank you!
Fantastic chapter and it rights all the wrongs that were done in LA. Bette showed her big heart and love to David and Tina was indeed the bigger person by allowing David into their lives again. David had better follow Bette’s advice because I would not want to see what would happen to him if he forgets and disrespects Tina or the baby. And we have never been allowed to see Bette’s Philly side and I think we really don’t want to either. This is a wonderful story and I have loved every minute of it. However, I thought at one point that the gang was gonna be there, I was surprised that they weren’t. Also thought that maybe they would petition the court to add Porter to Angelicas’ last name. Ssurprised they did not. Fantastic chapter anyway. Thanks for posting all the chapters for us this weekend.

OMG what a lovely day, to have four chapters, perfect chapters at that and the last one being the best of the best so for for this story. This NY’er was weeping too, I think the rating should have been TA (tissue alert). I was crying those tears of joy before David, that just was Angie’s icing on the cake. Loved it. Thank you, Md aka Oma
What a great update. From the courtroom, to David, to the family portrait, etc. I so enjoy this fantastic story!
Great story. You had me in tears today.
Yahooo!! Bette’s Angelica’s legal parent. Love this story. Excellent. Thank you.
Finaly is Bette Angie’s legal mother. I’m happy. And it’s great that David came to his sense. What a wnderful story. I hope to read this lovley story a long time. Thank you
Oooooops where the 12th page’s gone? pmsl. Finally The state recognises Bette as Angie’s mother. So emotional this post is, in any way. Family and friends re so important, I am happy, David was mature enough to reckon its misjudgement, came to apologise and reconnected with the Kennard-Porter family. It has been a very eventful day and I loved every moment. Thank you. PPVS
WOW!!! What an Amazing chapter!!! I am glad Bette is Angie’s legal parent. Glad David was man enough to see what he had done was so wrong. Thank you PPS
And thus Angelica became Angelica Porter-Kennard.
Lwsho…props to the perfect way you handled bringing David and Bette back together…that was brilliant! And I still have yet another chapter to read…JACKPOT!
OMG…. this was absolutely one of the best chapters ever. Bette finally being Angies legal mom, and David, just WOW!!! I love this story!!!! Thanks for sharing your talent!!
