I am the mother of two beautiful little boys, Tyler and Jonathan, who were wrongfully taken by child protective services back in October of 2001 after I had called and requested their services three months prior.

My husband and I had lost our home stability and were forced to sustain housing in near by hotel with our little boys. My husband and I managed to support each other and our children successfully, healthfully in accordance to the standards of life. However my family not being acceptable in society's eyes, because of the disabilities we struggle with. My husband and I are both Dually diagnosed and both having what's called Bipolar disorder and I also have what's called ADD. Which is now seemingly being held against us in being able to raise our children properly.

My husband and I faced a lot of obstacles in our marriage and things weren't always great, but one thing is for sure the love and the care for our children was never a question. My boys were happy thriving and well adjusted, and every one who knew us would say the same thing. My boys were never in need of anything they had food, shelter, clothing, love, affection, exceptional medical care and most important they were secure and trusting of their mom and dad that we would never hurt or abandon them.

Now today almost eight months since they have been away, my boys are facing a lot of attachment and emotional problems, Tyler who is two years old and suffers from mild Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Pervasive Developmental Disorder is at the most critical time in his life for development and is being deprived of security, stability, and a normal healthy attachment with his mom and dad, which is seriously detrimental to his future well being.

Jonathan, who is eighteen months old, was a happy, well-adjusted, thriving baby who had no problems what so ever. Since he has been in foster care, he now suffers severe emotional and behavioral problems. Severe enough that the doctors want him to see a specialist and he now receives Early Intervention Services for behavioral modification.

My husband and I both have completely got our lives together. We have sustained secure permanent housing, employment, therapy, marriage counseling, successfully completed parent education classes, education and much more self help programs for. We both have also successfully completed and complied 100% with the family service plan that was written and promised that we would have our children back around the completion date witch was suppose to be April, 22, 2002.

My husband and I are successful today, and we are now going to fight back not only for our own children, but for all the suffering children out there who are being abused by the system, and innocent parents who are being trampled on by the Child Welfare System.

It seems we as parent have no rights what so ever whether our children are wrongfully taken or taken for some reason or another, the Child Welfare System does nothing to help reunite families instead our children are shuffled around in homes the rest of there lives or adopted off, when all this could easily be prevented, saving our nation millions and millions of dollars and saving these children from growing up to live, corrupt, emotionally unstable, dysfunctional lives growing into becoming needy adults with no identity, then needing more government services costing our nation more millions of dollars, all because our child welfare system is failing to preserve our families and failing to give our children the opportunity to be secure and stable in there own homes.

See, I know what I saying to be true because I am a product of the government, I spent my life shuffled from one home to the next, growing up having no identity, no stability, no security, nothing except my babies who they took away because of my past.

Please we need to come together and change our child welfare laws as well as our constitutional rights as parents. Stop the abuse that they inflict on our children. Our children are our future, we hope and pray that one day we as a nation will one day have peace in our world, but as long as our children continue to suffer abuse and neglect from the child welfare systems, they will only grow up to live their lives as they were raised with no security, trust, love education, stability, then only will history repeat itself.
