The ride down was filled with talk of what could happen, what we hopped would happen, and what we really wish wouldn't happen. When we got there it was nerve-racking. The family had sarah on a leash. She had to wave behind her back so she didn't get in trouble. It was a sad situation and that in itself made me want to cry. I really have come to love Sarah like my own sister and it's such bullshit that the "Love family" does this to her.
Once we were in the court room it was hard to deal with Pam and Monty. I don't believe they deserve to be parent's at all, let alone to be parents to seven children, four of which are AMAZING children that they take for granted and don't love. I used to hold out some respect for Pam. I thought she was just a victim of a mentally and emotionally abusive husband. This turns out was just me trying to think the best of her. She holds as much hate for her children as he does. I just hope she really regrets it when she wakes up one day with no children at all. Monty has this awful "God-complex" that makes me want to vomit, luckily I think this had the same effect on the judge. His rude demenor and sarcastic attitude not only made him look like a complete idiot, but it showed his true colors and bit him in the ass later.
After a couple hours of the sperm and egg donors lying after swearing on the bible and degrading the only decent daughter they have... Stephen finally got to go up and testify. Stephen loves his sister completely, and although he was super nervous he told the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and it worked out in Sarah's favor! After a few more questions being asked the judge basically ruled that the parent's were denied all rights, they lacked evidence and that Sarah had no need for a guardian of any kind!
This is especially exciting because it gives Sarah the freedom to get away from them in the future, if that is what she wants. Which I will confidently say right now... it is what she wants!
After court, Monty was so outraged that his presence as God didn't sway the judge into believing his bullshit, that he attempted to start verbally attacking my brother-in-law John, and made himself look a fool once again! Needless to say, he got esscorted out and we will probably never have to see him again unless something crazy comes over us and we feel the need to go to his funeral.
A small victory was won; our next step is figuring out how to get Sarah moved out. :)

Sidenote:: After court, John, Stephen and I went to the mall and met up with John's daughters, Kaitlyn and Dakota. I love those girls so so much! I am so glad to be able to call them my neices. :)
