Have you got a minute?

-yeah, just ah,

Let me towel off.

Come on, come on.

What's on your mind?

-I, uh...

I just wanted to tell you...

Some of our family history.

When my wife was Pregnant with kyla,

Complications came up that Made it so she could never

Have any more children.

And naturally kyla became The sole focus of our lives.

She was a difficult child.

When she'd reached puberty,

She'd already been picked up

For-- for shoplifting, for Stealing things from The neighbors,

For taking things from school.

And cleo and I

Didn't know what to do.

And imagine that you Have a child like that, and--

It tears you apart.

When she was 17,

Kyla stole my credit cards,

And ran away from home.

I'm still paying.

At that point on, we decided to

Try the tough love approach.

-so, you disowned her?

-from that day on,

We never talked to kyla again,

And then one day,

A stranger showed up at my door,

And said my little Girl was dead.

I never even got the Chance to say good-bye.

See, I'm telling You this, because

As much as my wife And I love joey,

And we want her,

We don't have a lot of money

For a long-drawn-out Legal battle,

And we wouldn't want to Put joey through it anyway.

So, if you're going to Contest our right to custody,

We won't challenge.

If that's the case,

She can stay here with you.

Thanks for your time.
