Police ultimately tracked down a “contract” signed by both the runaway parents and one would-be buyer, who was identified by authorities as Cody Martin.

It read: “I Darien Urban and Shalene Ehlers are signing our rights over to Cody Nathaniel Martin of our baby boy for $1,000 on 09/21/2024.

“Disclaimer: Alter signing this there will be no changing yall two’s minds and to never contact again.”

I feel sorry for the baby, but that's some top-notch contract writing.

The "yall" is underrated in contract law.

Yeah but they misspelled it, so they lose some points there.

You jest, but for all its faults, this "contract" is a lot clearer and to the point than most real contracts and EULAs I've ever had the misfortune to review.
