THE LOVES OF MY LIFE: I LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER AND A DAY! CONTINUOUS YOUR GRANDMOTHER! CASE# JD-06180

WEDNESDAY JUNE 20, 2018

My dear precious and only grandchildren, It’s been 12 long years, since our lives and family were interrupted – turned upside down and inside out; That day way back then on – Thursday, March 02, 2006 in the State of  Oklahoma in Oklahoma City.  

Grandma writes this message of love to all of you:

MELVIN BENJAMIN JR- MICHAEL WALKER IV- MIZAEL WALKER- TERIQ MAY- ERIC DAVIS JR- SAMUEL MCCOY JR:

I love you all and miss you even more! There is not enough words in the dictionary to express all the emotions that I feel each and every day of my life: You all not being in my life, not for one minute or even the idea that we would ever be apart  never ever came to my mind! Not even a glimmer, even a spark for that matter. I would give my life any thing, anything to be apart of all of your lives. It’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about all of you! I’m your grandmother – FARINA MARIA THOMPSON – It breaks my heart that we aren’t together!

I’m so sorry that the system has failed you children and our family. I can’t even ever imagine everything what you kids at the time went through in the foster care system. I love you and that will never change!

I want you grandchildren of mines to know that I never gave up or for that matter forgotten about you – know that you 6 are not forgotten, never will ever as long as I live and have breath in me and then even until I pass away not even that will stop me from loving you grandkids.

I didn’t give up on you! I didn’t and I want you grandchildren to know what I done within my power to act accordingly as a loving grandparent would do:  I moved and relocated to Oklahoma and was there for 4 years. I rented a three bedroom home and furnished it for all of you to come home to be returned. I went to court for you all. I even requested to be your foster parent and even to adopt you. Everything that I requested in family court was either denied, ignored, or refused. With certification I never even had a chance. The State agency Oklahoma DHS called the certification place where I would have been certified and told them that I wasn’t a suitable placement. Which wasn’t correct. They said that I was a felon. Which I’m not. They – DHS even denied to give me a home study for you all to be returned.

Even in court; I was threatened with jail. I was cited and had to get me an attorney to stay out of jail. I was fighting for you all and I had an attorney for you boys – fighting to get you all home. That wasn’t enough – I had to hire one for my self.

That’s not even half of it. They barely let me visit with you all. The last court date that I was given. They gave me a verbal court date which was set for FEB. 09 – 2012. Well that night before – I called to make sure of the date because I didn’t want to miss it and also because they didn’t give me any paper work – hard copy, and what happened they had had court on the day before of the date- on Feb 08, 2012; that I was given – I wasn’t even notified. Nothing at what so ever!

My grandchildren It is a blessing for the Internet. I pray that one day and I’m hoping that one day  you all will see this and know that your grandmother truly love you and I went to bat for our family and you children.

Everything I done for our family – fighting to get our family back together again and under one roof- It was all denied and refused because of individuals with differences and not of  one that was supposed to be following the rules and guidelines, regulations by the state. Yet! They made the rules as they went.

Also, I want you all to know that when grandma left the state of Oklahoma and went to California – I called back to the foster care case worker and put in for an ICPC for California and it was relayed to me – that The judge – Judge Richard Kirby said that I wasn’t ever to get you boys – ( Mind you that I am not a felon! Nor have I ever been prison.)

I’m an Army Veteran! That I am!

I’m so sorry for what has happened to all of you!

I love you guys. With all of my being! You grandchildren are not forgotten!

Love your grandmother! Always and Forever–

FARINA MARIA THOMPSON OF RENO NEVADA

 

 

FAMILY INTERRUPTED! THEN DESTROYED!

SATURDAY JUNE 16, 2018

 

EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN FROM US!

A FAMILY NIGHTMARE!

WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

IT BEGAN ON MARCH 02, 2006–

Can you imagine not being with your precious love ones! – I’m speaking of your darling and much beloved grandchildren? Now add to that of you aren’t able to see them when you want or even, you are denied from continuous visiting’s.

Family! You’d think that the Agency! would want to help the families stay together. And not disrupt the children’s lives. One would assume that, But however, that’s not the way it went down. At least for my daughters’ children!

Tragedy! Pure Tragedy! You know I am still in disbelief over this painful  turn of events! It seems as if it was just yesterday that this has occurred.  Everyday I am reminded that my grandchildren have been betrayed and let down by the system!

Compliance! Doing what needs to be done in order to see that my grandchildren are returned home to where they belong! Well this is what took place:

I went from Sparks, Nevada to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, then to Modesto, California. All out of love to have my only grandchildren be back in my life! Well It was relayed to me that THE JUDGE – RICHARD KIRBY, had informed the state foster care worker that I was never to get my grandchildren.

Going back and forth to court in OKC,OK – Oh! It was a nightmare! And that was putting it lightly. I was denied my foster care license as I was preparing to get certified. The agency’s DHS, had informed the placement agency that I wasn’t to be certified to get my grandchildren. Also I was even denied a home visit by the state to go over the home that I’d rented in Oklahoma. They even implied that I was a felon! Of course that was false! Also during that time I was even threatened with jail for speaking out to the media. Of which I had to get a lawyer for myself. Can you imagine?

It’s been years now and the pain is still with me, very much every bit of real and present! How can one heal from something like this? I can assure you that it’s not easy. I look at my grandchildren’s pictures so much till the picture is becoming fade and worn. Every day it hurts and I believe that I will forever live and relive that pain everyday of my life.

I’M A GRANDMOTHER! AND I CAME FORTH AS A GRANDPARENT WOULD AND SHOULD! RIGHT! WELL I DONE JUST THAT! BUT WAS DENIED AT EVERY REQUEST!

My grandchildren have been exposed to so much from being in that foster care system. I can’t even begin to imagine what they have experienced and exposed to! Certainly, I know that they were scared and frightened. They didn’t know what was going on. They knew that they were taken from their family and put all over the place in different placement and not having any regular visitation with their siblings! They were given medication – I know on one visitation with one of my grandchildren and during the visit he just was so drugged that he passed out. You could look at him and know that he was over medicated!

Can you imagine seeing your child or grandchild in that state? For me it was painful and emotional!

Our families are precious and we don’t need the state agencies taking our children and passing them out on to the ADOPTION PLATFORM! WHICH IS WHAT THEY DO. That needs to be put a stop to. Better Yet! The foster care system needs to be overhauled and repaired. Our children once they become involved with the foster care system they become emotionally damaged especially the longer that they are out of the home the worst they become.

This is the year of 2018 and my grandchildren were taken in the year of  2006. Can you imagine not being able to be in the lives of your little ones? My family has lost so much. We will never be able to get those years back. That’s all gone!

Well since then my grandchildren have grown and they all now have a different mind-set and my grandchildren as I once knew them are now all on different venues. They have all been in different homes and placement and pretty much away from their siblings!

My grandchildren are my heart and even though they aren’t the ages that they were when the ordeal first started! I still love them and nothing changes that love that I have for them.

A GRANDMOTHER’S LOVE IS PERMANENT AND NEVER FADES! A GRANDMOTHER’S LOVE IS FOREVER AND EVER GUARANTEED! ALWAYS AND FOREVER IN MY HEART:

MY GRANDSONS : I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!

ERIC DAVIS JR

SAMUEL MCCOY JR – WITH HIS FATHER

MY GRANDCHILDREN! MY GRANDCHILDREN, THEY ARE MY LIFE AND MY EVERYTHING! FOR SURE MY LIFE HAVE CHANGED FROM THIS ORDEAL! AND THAT’S AN UNDERSTATEMENT! I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! I’M IN PAIN ON A DAILY BASIS FROM NOT BEING IN MY GRANDSONS’ LIVES!

IT HURTS AND HURTS REALLY BAD! THAT DEEP HURT AND EMOTIONAL PAIN THAT’S LODGED IN YOUR HEART! THAT YOU CAN NEVER GET RID OF!

FAMILIES ARE TO BE CHERISED!

TO MY GRANDCHILDREN IF YOU COME ACROSS THIS: I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN! YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART! AND I AM SORRY THAT THE SYSTEM FAILED YOU AND US AS A FAMILY! I’M SORRY FOR ALL THAT YOU BOYS SUFFERED WHILE BEING IN THAT AWFUL FOSTER CARE SYSTEM! I’M PRAYING FOR YOU BOYS, NOW YOUNG MEN AND FOR US AS A FAMILY! YOU ARE LOVED AND NOT FORGOTTEN! LOVE ALWAYS YOUR GRANDMOTHER: FARINA THOMPSON

FAMILIES ARE TO BE CHERISED!

Not be destroyed and children adopted out or kept in foster care till they age out of the system!

The ordeal that my family faced and experienced should never be. I mean that no one should have to have their kids or grandkids in the system especially when you have a family member come forth and claim the children and be there for them. One should not be denied! Yet! That’s what happened to me.

I’m not a felon. Nor did I need the states money to raise my grandchildren. And I had even moved – relocated to OK! That wasn’t enough! I had ample space for all of my grandchildren. Everything was ready and put into place. Yet! Everything I done and requested was either denied, derailed, refused or ignored by the JUDGE AND DHS!

OKLAHOMA DHS AND THE JUDGE DESTROYED AND SHATTERED OUR FAMILY, OUR HOME, AND OUR LIVES.

We are changed forever from this intrusion!

Will we ever be able to heal and recover from this!

Will we ever be able to heal and recover from this?

My grandchildren, they have gone through so much since being in that foster care system! I’m truly heartbroken over it! I love them and I’m in pain over all that they have gone through and endured. All the emotions, pain and suffering they have been subjected to. Deeply scarred they are now, no doubt! I feel their pain as well!

THE SYSTEM ARE DESTROYING AND KILLING OFF OUR FAMILIES! CAUSING GREAT EMOTIONAL DAMAGE TO OUR CHILDREN! CHILDREN ARE TO BE LOVED AND CHERISED! NOT EXPLOITED BY THE DHS/CPS/FOSTER CARE AGENCY – OUR BABIES AND CHILDREN THEY NEED TO BE SAVED FROM THE SYSTEM!

SURELY CHANGE NEEDS TO COME! NOT ENOUGH HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS VITAL ISSUE AT HAND.

EVERY DAY IS A JOURNEY!

TO – GRANDCHILDREN – MELVIN E BENJAMIN JR. , MICHAEL E WALKER, MIZAEL E WALKER, TERIQ L MAY, ERIC D DAVIS JR, SAMUEL B MCCOY JR,

 

My precious grandchildren I love you and it’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of and miss you daily! I pray that where ever you boys/ young men are that you are in great health and are doing well; considering that all of you were denied the right to be given back to your biological family.

I pray that every one of you by the GRACE of God that you will always know that I your grandmother does love you and I never gave up on you boys.

I am deeply saddened by the way the system has served us an injustice. Our family destroyed, shattered and scattered about.

Melvin, Michael, Mizael, Teriq, Eric and Sam! I love you and that will never change. I am your grandmother! I’ve never stopped loving you. Each and everyday I say a prayer for our family! That wherever you children are I only hope that the persons are treating you all well.

The day-to-day pain that I deal with its become the norm since I done what any grandmother would do in this case. I came for you all – yet the injustice and court corruption that went on in there was great! The tragedy no doubt have cost us everything!

I pray for our family! I love you all and miss you even more. You all are not forgotten! Never were and never will be! You all have always had family to take you children! With me your grandmother, The first in line of course! You all have always had family love from the start! Yes No Doubt! You were never thrown away, Never! I have always loved my grandchildren! Love you. Love you. Love you.

You grandchildren are with me in my heart and prayers every single day! It really hurts that we are not together! Just know that I love you and that will never change!

God Bless You and Grace Be With You All!

Love Always and Forever,

Your Grandmother,

Farina Maria Thompson

FROM GRANDMA: FARINA MARIA THOMPSON, P.O. BOX 1983, SPARKS, NEVADA 89432..

CASE DATE – THURSDAY MARCH 02, 2006; BIOLOGICAL MOTHER – JAMIRA NICCOLE MAY, WALKER, MCCOY; DATE OF BIRTH – NOVEMBER 16, 1930 ——————– CASE NAME — MELVIN BENJAMIN- D.O.B.  12-12-1996; MICHAEL WALKER- D.O.B. 02-25-1999; MIZAEL WALKER- D.O.B. 01-01-2000; TERIQ MAY-D.O.B. 04-21-2001; ERIC DAVIS- D.O.B. 03-18-2004; SAMUEL MCCOY- D.O.B. 03-30-2006. 

 

Dear Grandsons,

My Precious Love Ones; My Grand-babies, I love you all dearly more than words can express! I’m extremely heartbroken for the way that this great country that we live in. How the Human Services Agency – foster care division have treated this case so unprofessional and leaving you grandchildren in this failing system, as if you have no family where you can go to! I am sorry! I AM SO SORRY!

I Pray for our family daily and continuously! My grandsons you are not forgotten! You’re not left behind, either!

Hi! My Sweet and Precious Babies: Melvin, Michael, Mizael, Teriq, Eric, and Little Sam! As always my mind isn’t far from you all. Life isn’t the same without you all. Each and everyday it is painful. I hope and pray that you all are being treated with love and respect and not as if you kids are throw aways or rejected. Because you grandchildren are definitely not in that category.

I love you! You have a Grandmother that loves you grandchildren dearly and misses all of you like crazy. You all are not forgotten! You have family that loves you. You are loved, wanted and missed! I continue to cry over you all- the deep pain that I have on a daily basis because how you all are going through this.

 

 I am your grandmother — FARINA THOMPSON.  I love you all boys (teenagers now) with all my heart. You are my grandsons and that will never change. I love you very much! You’re LOVED, WANTED, AND MISSED! You! each and every one of you have a place to call home. You have a caring and loving Grandmother that dropped everything and relocated to the mid-west to Oklahoma for 4 years. I fought for all of you. That I done in deed! I have the proof to show my work – that I came for all of you.

My grandsons’ I will never forget you! There’s not a day that I don’t think of you all. I look at your pictures. I miss you so much. I worry about all of you. What happen to you grandchildren- should have never taken place. It’s an awful tragedy. Our family, our home and our lives have been interrupted, scarred, shattered, damaged — we will never be the same.

Truly you all should be home with me your grandmother! This was an injustice served by the Oklahoma Family Court under the Judge Named– Richard W. Kirby in courtroom “A”. I am so sorry that folks can’t leave their personal opinions & behavior outside their place of work. Because of that it has been ten (10) very long years and so many long sleepless nights and pillows full of tears! So much have been taken from us because of the ruthless, heartless, and people who have no sense and regards for the basic value of FAMILY CORE -THE FAMILY UNIT.  It wasn’t justice that took place in the court room of that presiding Judge– Richard Kirby! No it wasn’t! As well as Jane Brown- DA; Ryan Hauser- PD; and the initial DHS child worker– Tara Bone.

My grandsons which you all will always be my babies. I am so sorry that you children were subjected to all that you have in your childhood lives. A terrible and painful experience for you grandchildren. I am heartbroken over it too! We will have alot of healing to do once we all come together & be reunited as a family again after all of this time of being away from the ones that love you!

You grandchildren are dear to me! So very dear to my heart! I love you. I love you. Family is key and you grandchildren have family. You will always be my family!

 

Love Always & Forever, Your Grandmother,

Farina Maria Thompson of Reno, Nevada.

 

 

 

 

NEW RULES AND POLICY A MUST

THURSDAY MAY 5, 2016

The states foster care agencies across states need new laws to govern them! Simply the way that it has been going on is definitely not the right way!

There needs to be changes. Families does need the help in order to keep their children, family and love ones safe from the state agency;  To stop the agencies from just barging on families and doing what ever to take folks children.

Adoptions should be the very last recommendation or choice! Family Reunification and Support definitely should come first priority and is Key! The government should not have the say so on whether the child or children be put up for adoption. They should use every necessary family and relative! (Of course that is not the way my grandchildren’s case went, I definitely didn’t have that option given to me.)

FARINA THOMPSON, GRANDMOTHER who was denied grandchildren! Haven’t seen the grandbabies since 2.16.2010.

 

 

 

My Grandsons I Love You! You’re Not Forgotten!

It’s been 10 years now, since you all were taken from our family. 10 very long and emotional years since this tragedy interrupted our family and our lives, on that day. Thur. 3/2/2006.

Case Date – Thursday 3/2/2006; Case# – JD-06-180; K#20347104, Case Name – Benjamin, May, Davis, Walker –OKC, OK County, OK State

I miss you all so very much. It’s not a day that I don’t think of you children! You boys, will never be forgotten.

Melvin Benjamin, Michael Walker, Mizael Walker, Teriq May, Eric Davis, and Samuel McCoy! My precious grandchildren I love you  and always will. That will never change!!

I am always thinking of all of you.  You grandchildren will never ever be forgotten. I love you all very much.

Just remember that I did come for you boys! I did indeed, even relocated out to Oklahoma for 4 years. I was denied everything that I requested. My grandsons, we live in a world that people abuse their power just out of pure selfishness. For no reason at all. We have suffered greatly from that ignorance, injustice and corruption. I love you and you’re not forgotten.

Melvin – Michael – Mizael – Teriq – Eric, You all are in my prayers. Grandma! Misses you all so much. You children are loved, wanted, and missed. I didn’t throw you all away. I did not. I have all the proof on that. Love you * Love you always and forever.

A GRANDMOTHERS LOVE; YOU’RE NEVER FORGOTTEN!

RE: Thursday March 2, 2006
Case# JD-06-180; K# 20347104
BENJAMIN, MAY, DAVIS, WALKER, MCCOY CASE

Dear Grandchildren: I love you all and misses you very much! It’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of all of you.

Melvin Benjamin, Michael Walker, Mizael Walker, Teriq May, Eric Davis and Samuel McCoy.

It’s now closing on 10 years and you boys have been shuffled and shafted in and about in the Oklahoma foster care system. Some of you have been adopted out and one of you have aged out and then some of you are still in the system, in the county boys group home. Then there is the baby out of all of you, he was given to his father, which he will never remember that he was ever taken. Which he is still suffering as well since he is not growing up with his brothers.  Nothing is the same since that day that our lives were interrupted and shattered! I’m sorry the system has failed our family. Everything was taken from our precious family.

I can’t imagine the pain and suffering that all of you have endured since being taking away from home and the family. I suffer every single day that we are not together. Constantly I am thinking of all of you. Crying is very normal for me these days.

Our family have suffered a grim most horrible tragedy! My grandchildren! Please know that I love all of you very, very much and that I came for you children! I would not turn my back on you. Not for any reason what so ever. I hope and pray that you will not go through your life thinking that your biological grandmother didn’t love you enough to put my life on hold to come and get all of you out of the states foster care system.  Because I did come forth.

It saddens me that the family court system there in Oklahoma, truly isn’t about helping the families, instead it does what they choose verse helping the families. I came forth grandchildren. I was denied every step of the way. I was denied time and time again. From adopting you boys to getting a fostering license to kinship fostering to regular continual family visits with all of you. Not only did I spend money on legal help for to get you children home which  it wasn’t in our favor as you can tell since I’m writing letters to you on the web; I had to obtain legal counsel to keep me out of jail, because I was threatened with contempt of court since I was speaking out on our family behalf that I should be given you boys and get you all out of the foster care system and back home, so we can get on with our lives and get back on track.

I was a resident in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, In Oklahoma County from 2008 until 2012 January. I rented a town house located at : 8220 NW 10th Street #22 OKC, OK 73127 cross streets –  Council Rd & NW 10TH street. From there I moved to Modesto, California, with the intentions on getting an ICPC transfer for you children, then come to find out from the dhs case worker that Judge Kirby had told them that I was never to get you boys and so the request for the ICPC was never granted let alone submitted. Then shortly following that communication I found you children on the adoption list labeled as available for adoption and too it claimed that you all were single births and that you had no other siblings that was on May 5, 2012 when I came across those notifications.

My precious and dear grandchildren how the system treated your case was nothing short of abuse of power and status position as they held in their employment.

Certainly! Oklahoma DHS destroyed our family, there moto didn’t help our family. And there moto is to help the children and family! All they have done in our family was take advantaged of this case in particular. I’m deeply sorry and saddened that people can be so hateful and disheartened and just plain cold blooded to do what they want and please without any punishment for their unjustly actions – destroying families and children’s lives.

I love you! I your biological grandmother loves you and that will never ever change. Never Forgotten! You grandchildren will never be forgotten! No! Not Ever! Sincerely, I love you always and forever!

 There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do for all of you my dear and precious grandchildren, my only grandchildren that I have. My heart aches and aches of this continual pain.

Definitely none of you children should have had to endure this ugly thing! I am so sorry that you have experienced this. No child should be going through this.

Melvin, Michael, Mizael, Teriq, Eric and Sam, I hurt because you children have gone through something that have altered your childhood. I’m terribly and emotionally sad because so much has been taken away from you and our family.

Remember that I love you and I never forgot about you. Also that you’re always in my heat and prayers. That you’re never forgotten!

All of you will forever be in my heart and prayers!

Always & Forever, Hugs and Kisses,

Love Your Grandmother,

Farina Maria Thompson

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU – LOVE YOUR GRANDMOTHER, FARINA M.THOMPSON!
