Ron: Lawyerboy
Damn, the things I get myself into sometimes...
It all started when I heard that some lawyer was looking at the law school for interns for an adoption case he was doing. And I thought, hey, why not? So I looked into it. And it's got to be one of the most damn near impossible adoption cases possible. A brother a sister, college students, trying to adopt some random homeless kid, or at least trying to stop the kid from being put in a foster home. Just about everything looked stacked against them. But still, what the hell? Thinking it would at least be interesting, I signed myself up.
I talked to the sister yesterday, just asked some questions, standard stuff like that. Nice girl. Cute. And damnit, but I really think she deserves to be able to take care of this kid. Besides all the pointless technicalities that Social Services is annoying her with, I think she'd be fine adopting this little girl. And the girl (Maggie, I think her name is) wants at least one of them to adopt her. Isn't that what this entire system is supposed to be about? Finding what's best for the child? And I can't see what would be better for this girl than being taken care of by a couple people who seem to really care about her. It's probably the first time anyone's cared so much about her in her entire life.
I went into this intern thing because it seemed interesting, but now I really want to help these people. Like I said before, it's going to be damn near impossible to win, but I'm going to try my best to help as much as possible. It's funny, I decided to be a lawyer because that's what my dad is. I never thought twice about it. But now I've realized that this job's about helping people, like maybe an innocent man charged with a horrible crime, or just people like Kristen and Brian and Maggie, trying to accomplish the impossible.
And damnit, I might just be the intern, but I'm going to do whatever I can to help them. Wish me luck, 'cause I'll sure need it.
