An update on the TV Latte Lady

Lady week, the character, Julia, who wanted to "buy" the latte lady's baby asked her if she could, "will you let me adopt your baby?" she asked after an episode of buying lots of coffee and helping the latte lady with a legal landlord situation (for free of course). The latte lady's answer? "No". What? No? Crushing disappointment, awkwardness, sadness. And no more coffee. Last night we found Julia avoiding the latte lady, not drinking coffee (sad day), all because she was embarrassed that she has asked. It sort of looked like she was helping the latte lady for free with a legal issue, to influence her decision. But of course she wasn't. She wanted a baby, this baby needed a mom and dad, seemed to be a perfect solution. Towards the end of the episode, the latte lady finally asked Julia if she wanted to know why she said no. With tears running down her face, she explained that she wanted a closed adoption. If she gave her baby to someone she sells coffee to every day, it would make it that much harder. Tears. Pain. And an amazing, almost grace like, understanding from Julia. The closed adoption part made me want the latte lady's baby even more. I wonder, in the weeks to come, as this story unfolds, if Julia will concoct a plan to leave her job, say goodbye to the latte lady, whose name is Zoe by the way, all to have a sweet babe in her arms. Maybe not, maybe this is the end of that story line. But I do hope that we see Julia and her husband with a baby sometime in the future. Just like I hope the same thing for Joel and I. It might seem strange to be talking about this story line like it is real when I know it's not. When you are walking through infertility, you truly are drawn to people "like" you, whether real or fictional. Maybe there is a little bit of hope for us in their story, or maybe not, but we will continue to tune in. We will watch and wait and hopefully in the end we will either find our own biological miracle, or latte lady who picks us!
