Preston County Strikes Again and is Not Letting Relatives Adopt Children
Something isn’t right with the system here in PRESTON COUNTY. My daughter has been incarcerated now for the past 2 months and has not had any contact with her lawyer. My granddaughter is still in Foster Care for just as long. Many friends and family members have tried to get Olivia. We all have been denied without explanation.
My husband and I are like her second set of parents, that’s how close we are. I’ve asked for her via phone several times and her parents have also agreed that she will stay with us. The CPS lady said to me (a direct quote) ” Why don’t you go get a lawyer and fight for her.” I can’t afford one. Come Monday, May 24th 2021 I’m going to go to the courthouse and put a petition in for custody.
Why is there so much hassle, wasted time and why is she being deliberately hurt? If they can simply place her with us. I’m not disqualified. It’s traumatic enough for her. They’ve restricted her from her family!! Why? The very people she needs to be with. What happened to the “FAMILY FIRST” motto please?
Something needs to be done so my granddaughter doesn’t suffer anymore, it’s clear that her happiness, mental health and overall well being do not matter to CPS, or any other agency in the system. She’s stressed out, unhappy, depressed, lacking the LOVE and comfort of her family and mainly Grandma and Pappy. I’m sure you know how I’m feeling. Please don’t let my precious granddaughter suffer anymore.
YOU can make it happen. In 2019 another family sued for $10 million dollars because of the many violations, false testimony, and the corruption of the system and official people. I’m going through a similar situation and it was with the same, Judge, CPS worker, not sure of the Guardian Ad Litum. Its Sealed now but why? I wish you would investigate. But FIRST and foremost, my granddaughter Olivia Saunders has very little time, they’re trying to get Michelle to sign over her parental rights!!!! She’s without counsel! I am appealing to the very heart of you. As parents, as grandparents.
