Jayne Houdyshell: Judge Ruth Linden
Quotes
-
Judge Ruth Linden : As the birth mother is deceased and no father or other relative have come forward, I officially declare Noah Porter an orphan and ward of the state of New York. He shall continue to be cared for in an ACS facility unless... Sergeant Benson, you rescued the infant, isn't that right?
Olivia Benson : Yes, your honor.
Judge Ruth Linden : You are the only one who has taken a consistent interest on his behalf. Is there any change you might like to become a foster mother to this baby?
Olivia Benson : I'm sorry. Excuse me, your honor?
Judge Ruth Linden : I have a feeling about this, Sergeant Benson. Call it a judge's hunch. If you agree, I will order Noah Porter into your care as custodial parent for one year, at which time you will be given the option to permanently adopt him. Do you agree?
