A man was informed, by telephone, in a corridor, that his life was going to contain a six-month-old for an unspecified period beginning in eight days, and he said okay, and then he went and bought a crib.

He was fingerprinted.

He was interviewed about his own childhood by a stranger in our living room for two and a half hours.

He was asked, in that interview, about a period in 2015 when his business nearly failed and he was asked how he had handled the stress, and he answered, and it is in a file.

He was background-checked in two states.

He came to eleven of the twenty-three court dates and he sat in that waiting area and he did not bring anything to read because he is not that kind of person; he simply sat.
