Angel Boy

Chapter 36

FAITH POV: Tomorrow is the day we officially adopt Dylan. I couldn't be more happier! All was good after the last visit from Linda, the social worker. Our lawyer Jeff, called us a couple of days later and told us all was good. Which we breathed a sigh of relief.  The kids have no school tomorrow. So Betty is coming over to watch the girls. We want Dylan with us, so he will be coming to the final court hearing to finalize the adoption and him officially being our son.  I haven't spoken to Tim or Dylan but I'd like to change his last name to McGraw. I want him to feel like he's part of this family and that's having the same name as all of us.  I will wait though to bring it up, once the adoption is final. So tomorrow is the day.  We also found out Dylan's 7th birthday is coming up and it's this Saturday. We want to have a little party for him. I just don't want him to overwhelmed.  So he's actually a couple of months older than Gracie.  I was at home prepping dinner. Audrey was napping, the other kids are at school. Tim is out doing errands, when the phone rang. "Hello" "Hello is this Mrs McGraw?" "yes this is Faith, who's calling?" "Hi Faith, my name is Debbie! Debbie Donahue" "What?" "I'm sorry to bother you but I believe you and your husband have my grandson" I could feel the blood draining from my body. I just couldn't talk. "Why are you calling? And how do I know you are who you say you are? And another thing how did you get my number?" she then hung up. That was very strange. It has to be a crank call. Then Tim walked in. "honey.. What's wrong? You're  white as ghost?" "Tim have you ever met anyone in Kristine's family when you were dating her?" "Well just her parents, why?" "What is her mom's name?" "Debbie why?" "oh my god!" "Tell me what happened and why did you want to know Kristine's mom's name?" "because she just called here" "What? But she told me she was dead?" Now I feel like I'm going to be sick
