I love you so very much! I will always be your grandmother, that will never change, no matte what.

You boys are loved, wanted and missed. You have family that loves and cares a great deal for you all.

I am so hurt, that you all are having to go through this awful and terrible situation.  I just want to hold you all and take away all of the pain.  My grandsons, I love you more than words can describe. With every ounce of blood that’s flowing through my body, in my veins.

OKLAHOMA DHS! CASE# JD-06-180– K#20347104–MAY- DAVIS- BENJAMIN- WALKER

I came forth as a grandmother to do the right thing and being responsible to get my grandchildren out of the Oklahoma Foster Care System. It doesn’t make any sense in how these people are completely clueless in the family structure.

It’s about the children, Right? If that was the case then my precious grandchildren would have been home by now. It’s been since 2006.  6 long years!! It’s an injustice the way these people has treated this case.

You’d think that the family  courts and Oklahoma DHS  would be on board with Grandma, wanting her grandsons. That would be best for the children! But! know not Oklahoma! They have dragged this case out so long. I don’t see the logic in that at all. My grandsons have been shuffled around and bounced from one placement to the other.

Recently, I have found my grandsons photo on the Oklahoma Adoption Website and the National Adoption Website, as if they don’t have any family members, that want them. That’s crazy! If that’s not bad enough, on the children’s bio — It states that they have no other siblings. That’s so cruel and mean!

I have not given up on my grandchildren! I will continue to fight for justice, my grandchildren shouldn’t be on the waiting list to be adopted out! Also!  I continue to write my grandsons, though I don’t believe that they are getting their letters. My grandsons are loved, wanted and missed. They have a loving family!

2010 Feb 16, was the last time that I saw my grandsons. It’s painful and stressful. I continuously worry about my grandsons! Wondering how they are doing! Where there at! My grandchildren are growing up in the Oklahoma Foster Care System, when they don’t have to or need to. This is a terrible act! Such an injustice!

I came forward to get my grandchildren and this is how I have been treated. From relocating from Reno Nev to Okc Ok then from Oklahoma to California.  I don’t need not one red cent to provide for and to take care of my grandsons. This has been an emotional journey! Very challenging!

I just think about my grandsons in the system and how long they have been in there. Every thing I’ve done has been shot down, denied and or refused! I have never seen anything like this! It’s about the children! So! As a loving and kind grandmother, It was only right to do the right thing and stand up for my grandchildren!

Oklahoma! What they do? Put my grandchildren up for adoption! When they know that I want my grandsons. That I have the money to raise them and nurture and guide them. My grandsons up for Adoption! That hurts deeply down to the core!

It’s one thing to take the children in the first place! Then it’s even more frustrating when they won’t let you see them. Not even phone calls, or school pictures. I’m their maternal and biological grandmother. Excruciating Pain! Truly Emotional!

Since, moving to California, I’ve submitted an ICPC, to have my grandsons transferred out here to California; So I could get them home with me.. Well that has been denied! It’s not right at all! The presiding Judge has refused to let go of my grandchildren. He will not give them to me. Instead! He, is determined to give them away in adoption, like they have no one or that none of the family wants them! That’s so wrong!! That’s truly devastating and emotional! My grandchildren! They shouldn’t be adopted out.

Oklahoma DHS talks about strengthening the families and Building Strong Families. Well this isn’t it ! Strengthening families and building strong families don’t mean adopting them out.. This for sure isn’t a sign of helping the children and making the family unit stronger. Not by a long shot. This is an injustice!

My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed! They are not forgotten! No they aren’t!

In closing! I’m asking everyone to please pray for me and my grandchildren.

Thank You and God Bless You and Yours.

Foster Care

Foster care isn’t no place for children! As long as the children have family and relatives to take them in. I have been concerned & worried from the start of all of this. From day one my grandchildren haven’t had family visitation with me their maternal and biological grandmother! I’ve always been in my grandchildren’s lives. My grandchildren! They know me!

Oklahoma hasn’t handled my grandchildren’s case properly nor professional from the beginning!

My grandsons continue to be bounced around and shuffled from one foster home to the other and from group home to group home. That’s not in the best interest of the children! Come on! Get real! Everyone of my grandsons and I have 5 of them in the foster care system. Neither one of them are in the same placement! My grandsons — They are isolated and alienated from me their grandmother- their maternal and biological grandmother. I want to be in my grandsons lives! I love my grandsons! However! From the crooked ways of the Okdhs I haven’t seen my grandsons in nearly 2 years.

Our lives has been shattered and family broken! Oklahoma continues to alienate and isolate my grandchildren. They haven’t seen me since 2010 of February. The 16th to be exact.  (February 16 2010). That’s just wrong! No matter how you look at it!

In closing:  I’m requesting everyone to please pray for me and my precious grandchildren, that this painful and emotional tragedy will be over soon.For it has it as already been  5 years and 10 months and 3 weeks and 4 days. I appreciate and thank you for your prayers for my family.

Thank You Very Much and God Bless You and Yours!

My Precious Grandsons! I love You – You Are Not Forgotten!

My Precious Grandsons!

Melvin – Michael – Mizael – Teriq – Eric, My dearly beloved grandchildren. I love you. I miss you so very much. My grandsons as we have been apart since March 2 2006. It breaks my heart deeply that we are separated. There’s not a day or night that goes by that I, your grandmother doesn’t think of you and or miss you.

No matter what I will always be your grandmother! I will always love you and miss you!  My grandsons, You will always be in my heart! Believe me, my precious grandsons, you all are not forgotten! You have family that love you and wants you home! You boys are loved, wanted and missed.

It’s been nearly 2 years since I last saw you grandchildren! Since 2-16-2010. I am heartbroken over this, just full of pain and I am prayerful for our blessings and victory. I’m not giving up on you grandchildren! Love You Dearly, My precious grandsons!

Life has not been the same since you boys were taken from the family! My prayers are with you and our family! God Bless You my grandchildren!

My grandchildren, I want you to know that I have not stop fighting for you. You are not forgotten. Everything that I have done to get you boys out of the foster care system has been denied from the Oklahoma DHS Organization – from the people involved with the case including the Judge.

Your grandmother is very well qualified to raise you children! I have always been in your lives from day one.

Grandma moved from Nevada to get you all out of foster care!  I have rented a beautiful 3 bedroom – 2 bath – 2 car garage home – that’s over 2,000 square feet. However the Judge refused to order the Oklahoma DHS organization to do a Home Study of our Home. Also I had been going to court before Judge Richard W Kirby up until last year 2011 of February when DHS requested that I be no longer allowed to attend court.

Oklahoma DHS and the Family Court Judge has a grudge and vendetta against your grandmother. They don’t want me exposing the dirt that they are doing and have done to our family, how they have kept you boys in the foster care system for all this time, since day you were taken back in 2006 of March;  and without any contact with our family – biological family. No family visits! NO phone calls! No pictures! No Nothing!

Grandsons! The reason why you boys are still in the Oklahoma DHS foster care system, is simply because your grandmother has spoken out about the wrong doing of those awful persons and the corruption that’s taking place in the agency; and has put them on the Oklahoma News on more than one occasion.

My prayers are with each and every one of you, for I am aware of how they  – the state has labeled you children and have all of you on medications that the Oklahoma DHS are having you to take. How they have done so much to doctor up the case to look good in front of that Judge – Associate District Judge.

This is wrong! And I will not stop until someone takes an interest in this Injustice. Oklahoma is one of the worst place on the Map on how they treat the families and children that’s involved with DHS.

My grandsons you all haven’t been treated right for as you all being allowed to have family visits with your family. No contact, no phone calls,  It is truly awful for how the State of Oklahoma has treated your case. It’s not Justice at all.

My precious grandbabies, grandma continually writes you all, I hope and pray that you boys are getting the letters. I keep a copy of all the letters that I send you. You will be able to see them one day. I am not giving up Hope! I have my faith and my strength that I receive from GOD!

My grandchildren you are not alone and your grandmother will not let this go un-noticed. Oklahoma has been wrong for how they have handled your case. You boys should have been home by now!  I have contacted everyone from the Governor to the Senator to the Representative, No one seems to take an interest to investigate this case. I’ve complained about the Judge! The DHS case workers! I’ve contacted The Oklahoma DHS Headquarters, but no one thinks this is serious enough to get involved. This is absolutely Horrible.

I’m horrified at how the State has allowed this to happen to  you children. My grandchildren, you have endured so much and have suffered from being in the Oklahoma Foster Care System! Taken away from your family and love ones, then completely alienated and isolated. This is a Shame Before God! These people are just despicable and have no regards for family and children! Instead of reunifying the families and children, Instead they are causing more devastation, pain and suffering!

My grandchildren! DHS, has continuously denied me you children to be returned, they are still holding on to a lie stating that I have a felony food stamp charge out of the State of California, from back in 1982. I have verification from, California that it’s not a felony. Oklahoma has done their job thoroughly.  Your grandmother doesn’t have a felony, no have I ever been to prison. I am a registered voter. No felon can vote. I am a veteran of the United States Army. No felon can enlist in the Arm Forces.  I am independent and financially established to raise you boys.

Grandchildren! Oklahoma hasn’t done everything to reunify you boys with the family. The Oklahoma DHS and the DHS Attorney has continued to lie in court, as you know it has been going on for years. Since 2006! I am so sorry that the family courts has failed you boys. Our country has not been fair or just in your case. The people of Oklahoma and those in their employment position within the Oklahoma DHS and The Oklahoma Family Court are on an  Authority Plateau, they are not for the righteous! They have not been for your Grandmother! They have not worked with me to get you children out of the foster care system. Even the casa worker, Susan Brown, she came out to the house, some 3 years ago and went all through it and she even took pictures and verbally said the house was good enough for you boys to come home.  She stated that she’s seen some home that wasn’t up to par  and yet Oklahoma DHS let the children return home. However the Judge – Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby wouldn’t let her speak in court, to show that the house was fit.

My precious grandson’s, my precious and adorable grandsons, with every ounce of blood that’s flowing through my body, I love you and want you boys home. I miss you so very much. I want to see you all, but DHS has kept us apart.

I love you and I just want to hold you grandchildren and take away all of the pain and suffering. I know you are hurting and want to be back home. I want you grandchildren home as well, where you all are loved, wanted and missed. Grandma is here! You boys are in my prayers and in my heart. You all mean so much to me and everyone in our family!  My prayers are with you my precious grandsons! I love you and your all are not forgotten! I look at you boys pictures and cry so much because I want you children home and out of the foster care system. Love you babies and I am not giving up HOPE. You grandchildren are my world. I am your maternal and biological grandmother and I  won’t stop my journey to get you all home and into my arms. Love you my precious grandsons – God Bless You and May God Be With You and Our Family.

 

Love Always and Sincerely,

Your Grandmother,

Farina Maria Thompson
