"You said 11 kids but I only know about 7, that's including the one that died and Lenzi" Ashley walked into Harlow's office holding a manilla folder
"How are they?" Harlow looked up from her computer taking the folder
"You have Akila Washington who's 13, she was the twin, Messi she's 16, Ethan he's just 11 another girl name Ariana she's 8, of course Lenzi, there's Kaiya 6 and Titus He's 3. The rest aren't in our system which means their either with family or she went through another agency" Ashley pulled out a seat passing along all the pictures
"Are they all in foster home or adopted" Harlow asked sitting through the documents
"The girls have been adopted, the boys are in a group home but their together" she nodded
"Alright I'm going to make a few calls" Harlow nodded grabbing her personal phone
Harlow made a promise to Lenzi that she's bring them together.
She couldn't adopt them all herself but she had a big enough family to where they could take in a few.
"Hey mommy, I have a HUGE favor" Harlow held her breath speaking into the phone
"No you can't have my car" Harley immediately answered shaking her head
"Ma I'm serious" Harlow sighed
"Whatever you need baby" Harley stood walking away from the kids
"I found two of Lenzi's siblings their 11 and 3, I was wondering if you guys could take them in" Harlow began fiddling with the fabric on her jumper
"I'm open to it but let me check with your dad before I agree" Harley answered
"Ok thank you, let me know" Harlow ended the call turning in to Ashley
"I'm going to continue to search for the rest" Ashley stood from her seat
Do to Harlow having a good heart she wanted to make sure each and everyone of Lenzi's siblings were taken care of and if that meant taking them all in then so be it.
To take her mind away from the boys Harlow began a little digging for herself.
Lenzi's mother was currently in a rehab center and couldn't be within 200 feet of any of her kids and her family due to her history with drugs.
"Hello my names is Harlow Hadley I'm a social worker at special families I was wondering if you could connect me to Samantha Washington" Harlow greeted before the line went silent
"Yea sure, she just came in from a smoke break" The lady at the front desk began typing to connect the calls
"Hello" Samantha picked up the phone confused
"Hello Samantha, I'm sure you already know who I am so I'm going to keep this nice and simple." Harlow grabbed her yellow not pad and pen
"Of course i remember the bitch who got my child taken" Samantha spat hatefully
"You can talk later but right now I have the floor, I need the names of every last one of your 11 kids, first and last" Harlow cut off her rant she knew was coming up
It took Harlow no time at all the get all of the names from Samantha and hand them over to Ashley.
"Good news, my dad agreed" Harlow walked down the hall to Ashley's small office
"Of course they did" Ashley laughed
"You think their foster mother would mind if I stopped by, I was gonna go on my lunch break" Harlow stood in the front of Ashley's desk
