It has been one week today since we lost our son. It has been the worst experience of our lives, but some feel the need to add fuel to the fire, and rub salt in open wounds. I have prayed for guidance, and asked for the right words, and I was given this. Truth is the light that illuminates the darkest corners of a soul. You are entitled to the truth of what has been occurring, and what we are being put through. Sarah, the bio mom, has been behaving in a way that is a disgrace, and dishonor to Dakota Lane. She started Monday morning with a series of childish comments and jabs, and a series of lies. When called out, she sank to a whole new level. She went to the funeral home, and took every donation that was received..except for a $ 20.00 bill....which I handed right back to the funeral director. Her father had a small insurance policy, and it paid for part of Dakotas service. Instead of using the donations to cover the rest of the cost of the services, she pocketed the money. She then began texting...saying she let her boyfriend du jour design the headstone and sending pictures of thus design. She then stated that if I (Billy) wanted any say in the headstone, we had to pay her 500.00 cash....followed by a text saying I had no say what so ever....and that the stone had already been ordered. She then gave the phone to the boyfriend, Mark, who began to run his mouth. When called, she refused to speak, but let Mark spew forth about how he was going to physically assault me, and the manner in which he was going to do it, and continued with an onslaught of threats and comments about what he and Sarah thought of me, and what they claim Dakota felt. I cannot use the language they used on here, but if you want to know, just ask. They were both laughing uproariously throughout the whole conversation..followed by the comment Who got the last laugh now? All of this is following her actions at the funeral, where she behaved as if she were nominated for best supporting actress in a drama or miniseries, to her actions immediately following the graveyard services, where she rushed back to the funeral home, and took all the flowers, cards, and the guest book, before we even had a chance to read any of them. We have no way of knowing who everyone was who attended the services, sent flowers, or donated. How do we send thank you cards and acknowledge them if she took everything? We doubt very sincerely she will even take the time to acknowledge anyone, or that any cards will be sent. We just know that through her deplorable actions, she has disrespected and dishonored Kota, and shown her true colors, and the character of her heart. She should still be in mourning, and giving us the time and space to grieve as parents, in peace.We felt everyone had the right to know where their money and flowers have gone. You can form your own opinion, but we ask one thing. If you feel the need to somehow defend Sarah, or remain her friend, please unfriend us. We have had enough drama and negativity, and we need to be allowed our time to grieve, and mourn the loss of Dakota Lane. This isnt even the half of it... The headstone ordered was not a costly one, leaving a large sum of money that should have been spent to cover Dakotas costs, and not to line her pocket or fund her life. We are still left with the remaining balance of the funeral, along with the cost of the ambulance, and first responders, the emergency room, the physicians bill, the autopsy, the pathologist, and the funeral home in Mt Vernon who transported Kota. This is not about money..I will take care of my son...it is about the amount of disrespect that has been shown for our child. Dakota deserves so much more...Sincerely, William and Heather Mitchem
