ADOPTING TROUBLE
By Tcheser
An Atlanta court late last August confirmed a ruling that allowed wannabe business tycoon John Grant to adopt his girlfriend Tiffany Harris who is currently 19 years of age. As a result of all this Tiffany has been recognized as another one of Grant's "children" under the trust fund that had been set up by he and his former wife Carroll Grant for their biological children in 2007.
According to court documents, John Grant and Tiffany entered an adoption agreement contract that paid her $4 million immediately at the signing of agreement, another $3 million by the end of 2014, and lifetime payments valued at an estimated $11.75 million, a total of $16.75 million over time.
Georgia's Third District Court of Appeals Senior Judge Alan R. Smith wrote that the adoption of a "paramour" or lover was "so contrary to the beneficent purposes of such an action as to be repugnant" but then ruled that it was technically not against the law and therefore could only uphold the ruling of the lower court that allowed the adoption.
Carol Grant, John Grant's exwife and the mother of their two children, filed the appeal, according to court records. Attorneys for Grant commented that she opposed the adoption as it was simply a vile, underhanded and contemptible attempt by her morally deficient former husband to secure part of his fortune from her while they were negotiating a divorce settlement.
Judge Smith at least seemed to agree with this part of the appeal and perhaps in an effort to ensure that the sanctity of the family unit was being preserved did make the adoption conditional upon a number of rather bizarre sounding stipulations.
The new Grant “family”waited with baited breath that day as the Judge organized his thoughts for a moment. John ground his teeth. He had much riding on this. Not only his reputation as a clever businessman, but financially he would be out a lot of money if this scheme of his didn t work out. Tiffany, beautiful Tiffany, with her long bouncy blond hair, impeccable makeup and sexy tanned body clad in a not quite appropriate for court designer dress and ever present sky high heels seemed less concerned. John or Johnny as she called him, had assured her that everything was above board, and that this was going to make her what she always dreamed of being, a wealthy trophy wife without having to do a lick of work.
Carol Grant who was also there that day watched them from the back row with barely disguised disgust. She could still hardly believe her husband had left her for that little floozy and had an even harder time believing that he had the audacity to them try and claim her as a child so he could cheat her out of what she deserved in the divorce. She had worked two jobs to put him through college! She deserved more than the pittance that was going to be left after the trust took its share and the lawyers took the rest. Still deserving and getting were two very different things. Life was not fair and she felt deep down that John and Tiffany were going to get away with this perverted scheme. Then the Judge then began to lay out his stipulations and she smiled for the first time in months.
First the judge ordered that a court appointed social worker make a number of unscheduled visits to the Grant household to make sure that there was nothing sexually inappropriate going on between "father" and "daughter". Second he pointed out that although Tiffany was old enough to legally consent to have relations with a man, she was still technically a minor in the state of Georgia. Because of this he ordered that she be treated as any other minor under the care of an adoptive parent and that Grant would have to provide a stable and healthy environment for Tiffany. And thirdly that as she is still a minor, and had never graduated from high school, he ruled that she attend the nearby All Saint's Catholic High School for Girls until she either graduates or turns 21.
John turned green and felt ill when he heard these stipulations. He had won it seemed, but at what cost? How was he supposed to live in the same house with Tiffany under these conditions? It was going to be intolerably painful and worse he was going to be a laughingstock. His friends and colleagues and especially his rivals would never let him hear the end of this debacle.
Tiffany wasn't quite sure what had happened. It sounded like the trust thing had held up in court, but if she had heard right she was now going to be visited by a social worker, considered a minor and have to attend a catholic school for girls. Surely she must be mistaken!
It was unknown how and if these stipulations would be met by the Grant family until a Tuesday afternoon three months later when they returned to court. Somewhat ironically they were meeting this day with Judge Smith to appeal the favorable ruling he had set down during the previous appeal trial.
Having come straight from All Saint's High, Tiffany was barely recognizable. She still wore the annoying short blue plaid skirt which had the annoying habit of showing off her underwear at the worst possible times, peter pan collared white blouse and annoying white knee high socks which was the mandatory uniform at her new school. And without the heavy makeup she usually wore and her long blonde hair now tied back in plaited pigtails she looked much less mature than she usually did. All this compounded with how much shorter she appeared in the little black flats which had replaced her trademark high heeled wedges some joked that she now almost looked young enough to actually be Grant's daughter.
One at a time the “couple” then gave testimony that the stipulations set forth by Judge Smith were far too strict and were have a detrimental and unconstitutional effect on their lives.
John spoke first about having to look after his girlfriend like she was a child or face scolding at the hands of the social worker. He even was told to discipline Tiffany with a bare bottom spanking at one point and when he refused was written up for it. After that he forced himself to discipline her no matter how much he hated to do and how much she resented it. Then, perhaps even worse then that, there was the no sex or inappropriate touching stipulation which they both, being sexually active virile adults, hated.
Tiffany then spoke about the humiliation of being treated like a child. The clothes, the early bedtime, the condescension! It just wasn't fair, she was an adult, not a child. Then she told the judge how horrid the school was, how mean the nuns were, and how she simply couldn't stand to wear the stupid little school uniform one moment longer. Then she talked about how embarrassing it was to be spanked by her boyfriend with the social worker watching. She still had marks on her bottom from the last time she was punished for being late she whined. And worst of all she told them, was how turned on she was all the time, but couldn't get any release as she wasn't allowed to be with John and was punished by the nuns whenever she touched herself.
Listening without expression it was hard to tell what the judge was thinking. But it came as no surprise to anyone who knew him when he ruled that the stipulations were just and appropriate and would not be lifted. He had no sympathy for their situation at all and could think of no legal reason to alter his ruling in any way. They had gotten themselves into this situation with their scheming and as long as they wanted this avaricious arrangement to continue they would just have to suffer the consequences of their actions no matter how uncomfortable or humiliating.
Not willing to give in and lose millions of dollars John left the courthouse defeated admidst a rain of jeers and laughter vowing to never try anything this stupid again. Hurrying after him as fast as she could without flashing everyone in the crowd her regulation panties or slipping on the slick courthouse tile in her smooth soled mary janes, his “daughter” Tiffany had similar thoughts.
