As most of you know on Thursday 8/11/16 Bailey's father made false allegations and filed an order of protection keeping my daughter from me. The papers do allow me to see my daughter when my mother is present so we have her during the day for now. Brian and I lived together and he worked while i stayed home and cared for bailey and the house. Even when returning from work he was not involved in Baileys day to day care. He has done this out of anger and knows that this isnt whats best for her. She is four months old and has not been apart from her mommy since birth. my sweet baby girl is under the care of a man who just doesnt know what hes doing. He has had to ask about her medicine, her formula, her doctor, he doesnt know any of these things and is also not very patient. He typically only takes her when she is happy and hands her back over once she fusses. I dont doubt that Brian can keep her alive but she needs to be with her mommy to thrive. As a mother I of course worry about every little thing about her care. The pain of being without her is indescribable. Suffocating is the only word that even comes close. As any mother can imagine I am in utter despair. He's not even keeping her schedule so shes cranky and having a tough time. Her whole tiny little world has been turned upside down and although she isnt feeling the sting of this like I am, this needs resolution fast. Not only is it shocking that a judge allowed this, but they scheduled the court date out to 9/20/16. This uis unacceptable on the part of her father and the court system, but this is where we are. We did meet with an attorned who stated that the Judge who granted this is unreasonably biased toward fathers. We are scheduled to see a different judge, but not until the 20th. The attorney wants to file an order to show cause which will get us in front of the judge sooner so we can plead our case. We are looking to get another opinion as her retainer was quite high. Although it seems Brian doesnt have a leg to stand on, I cant trust the legal system, so I want to secure an attorney to ensure my daughter gets back to me. My mother and her husband are my lifeline right now, and I want to do whatever it takes for my daughter, but I dont want the burden to fall completely on them. I have no idea how long or difficult this will be to fight. All of you have been so supportive and we appreciate you standing in the gap for us in prayer! We are encouraged and clinging to God in this. Many of you have expressed a helplessness and desire to help in any way possible, so we have created an outlet for anyone who feels called to give to this cause for attorney fees and other unforseeable expenses. Please pray about this and only give if you feel called to do so. For those of you who are unable or who dont feel called to give please still lift this up in prayer. Continue to go to war for us spiritually. We will be posting updates, photos, victories, and prayer request to keep everyone informed who is supporting us! We are truly so grateful for encouragements, prayers, and well wishes in these tragic times.
