Thirty-eight. The trial for Elliot’s adopting process was long, but after exhausting four hours of discussing and showing prof of the danger and abuse the boy was constantly put into, along with people to testify against his parents, the trial was done. Getting out of the court, the first thing that Elliot did was jump up onto the top of the stone stairs that lead to the street and with his arms up and a wide smile he screamed to the top of his lungs. “I’VE BEEN ADOPTED!” Zach and Tommy laughed and smiled with him, catching him in their arms and engulfing him in a warm and tight hug. Sally, Oddie and Gabriel were taken as witnesses for them and testified everything they had seen before and all. Gabriel had more to say along with Sally as they spent more time with the smaller kid.
