Sometimes when you're a parent, you take that simple fact for granted. That feeling when you tuck them in at night, or hold thier hand when you cross the street, can vanish in an instant. The only pain worse than losing a child, is losing them again.
My family needs help. My 13 year old daughter, currently in foster care, was brought back into my life in a sudden and tragic way. After years of fighting a losing battle of false allegations, and parental alienation, I hadn't seen her in over 10 years, and now here she was. We've fought what seems like a never ending battle to even see her, and are currently trying to bring her home. We haven't got a lawyer, the ones court appoints, never keep contact with us.
She deserves a safe, secure, loving home. I read stories everyday of fathers losing their jobs, homes, lives just trying to be a daddy.
Currently we're following the court plan, are on track, but have received notice that ex-grandparents are filing for Permenant guardianship.
My wife and I are doing everything possible to secure her future, but thoughts and prayers don't hire lawyers, pay legal fees, or gas money for the 12 hours of driving when we have court. We've been blessed with friends that have helped immensely, But the battle seems to be just getting started. We hope a few people out there understand, and can offer help. We know not everyone is able to, and thing we receive is a blessing.
Just remember us when you kiss your children good-night.
