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!

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!

FAMILY! SHATTERED! GONE! THE LOSS OF MY GRANDCHILDREN!

FRIDAY JUNE 15, 2018

FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT!

Protect Them With Everything!

PLEASE! PLEASE! KEEP YOUR FAMILY AND CHILDREN SAFE! PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR YOUR LITTLE CHILDREN AND BE AWARE OF THE SNOOPING FOLKS (AND I MEAN EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT ARE LIKE MAGNETS FOR CAUSING AND WREAKING HAVOC UPON FAMILIES.)

LEARN YOUR RIGHTS! LEARN YOUR LAWS FOR YOUR STATE AND JURISDICTION!

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS. TAKE CARE OF YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABIES AND YOUR CHILDREN. THAT’S PRIORITY AND NUMBER#1.

DON’T LET YOUR HOME BE SHATTERED AND YOUR BABIES/CHILDREN UP ROOTED! YOU DEFINITELY DON’T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THAT PAIN! FOR SURE! YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME EVER AGAIN!

FOSTER CARE! YOU NEVER WANT YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN TO GO THERE!! TRULY A LIVING NIGHTMARE. PAINFUL EXTREMELY, PAINFUL LIKE NOTHING YOU EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

I KNOW THE PAIN AND I AM PRAYING FOR ALL THE FAMILIES THAT ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE SYSTEM. ALL OVER! THIS IS JUST CRAZY, WAY OUT IN LEFT FIELD. AN INJUSTICE! BE CAREFUL! BE CAREFUL! BE CAREFUL! LEARN ALL YOU CAN ABOUT YOUR STATES AGENCY WHICH ITS GOT MANY NAMES THAT THEY MAY GO BY.

I KNOW ABOUT THE SYSTEM AND WHAT IT’S LIKE! THOSE INDIVIDUALS THINK THEY ARE GOD SENT AND THEY ARE BIG HEADED, JUST RIGHTLY CRUEL! CRUEL! CRUEL!

MY ORDEAL STARTED BACK SOME 12.5 YEARS AGO.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA;  2006 – MARCH 02 ,2006.

MY SIX PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN. ALL BOYS.  HOW I LOVE THEM AND MISS THEM SO MUCH. OUR LIVES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. OUT OF MY SIX GRANDSONS, ONE OF THEM, THE LAST BABY HE IS WITH HIS FATHER. SO HE DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOWEVER THE OLDER FIVE GRANDCHILDREN OF MINES HAVE GONE THROUGH THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. BUT! KNOW DOUBT THEY ALL HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ORDEAL. TRAGEDY NO DOUBT!

IT’S BEEN YEARS NOW! AND MY GRANDCHILDREN HAVE GROWN! YET FOR ME THE PAIN IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE AS IF IT WERE JUST YESTERDAY! THE PAIN IS REAL! IT’S NOT A TWENTY-FOUR HOUR PERIOD TIME FRAME THAT GOES THAT I DON’T THINK ABOUT MY ONLY GRANDCHILDREN.  MY ONLY, ONLY GRANDCHILDREN!

THAT FOSTER CARE DESTROYED MY FAMILY AND MY GRANDCHILDREN AND OUR FAMILY FESTIVITIES! IT TOOK SO MUCH AWAY FROM US. WE NEVER BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK!

Nothing is more valuable and takes priority over your sweet and loving family, your young children and your infant babies. Be protective over them and stay up to date as much as you can when you may encounter or have dealings with the agency or perhaps not! But, the  point I’m getting at is truly plain and simple: IT IS THAT! YOU CAN’T TRUST THE STATE AGENCY. In any account don’t believe and trust everything that you may hear from them.

KEY INFORMATION WOULD BE TO DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IN THAT SYSTEM!

Once your children or grandchildren get in the foster care system you don’t know what’s going to happen to them. In the many different foster homes, your child or children, or grandchildren could be placed in a home where it’s not totally proper for them. The point is your child or children or grandchildren are to be at home with you their family and not with strangers.

It’s no doubt scary for the children! They want to be home. And not all situations are adequate for the children and then you have their age difference and so forth. There’s a lot to consider when placing children in the system. Believe it or not if there isn’t placement available then they will be placed in a children’s shelter. The real!

The main thing here is for you to know that your babies and children and your grandchildren, they do not belong in the foster care system at all! Handle home first, take care of your business and do all that you have to do and bring your children home. It will not  be easy at all! Whatever you have to do! DO IT!

NO MATTER WHAT!! JUST TRY! PUT FORTH EFFORT AND GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT! WITH ALL YOUR HEART!! NO MATTER WHAT THE OUT COME! JUST TRY AND GIVE IT ALL YOU HAVE! BY NO MEANS JUST DON’T SIT BY IDLING! YOUR BABIES AND CHILDREN AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN NEED YOU! AND PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN!

TO ALL TAKE CARE AND BE AWARE! MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL THAT ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH SUCH COMPLICATED ISSUES.

LOVE AND GOD BLESS.

PAINFUL JOURNEY! FAMILY SHATTERED & DAMAGED! RE- CASE# JD-06-180 / K# 20347104 CASE DATE- THURSDAY MARCH 02, 2006

Sat. 10.24.2015

Hello and Hi to everyone that’s been keeping up with me and this painful journey of my family. My precious grandchildren I miss them so very much, more than words can describe.Thank you all for your interest and heartfelt prayers. I’m no longer in the Mid-West region. I’ve returned back to the West Coast. That was in early 2012 February. Emotional! Yes it continues. That will never change. It’s been some time since I’ve posted anything.

I continue to write my grandchildren. However they aren’t responding to their letters. Every letter that I mail, I keep a copy of it. (That’s the only way I’ll send it — proof and verification key).

My grandchildren, they have family and truly not forgotten!

On May 5 2012; something urged me to view the Adoption page of Oklahoma’s Children! Let me tell you – I found my grandchildren on that page and I just couldn’t believe my eye’s – what I was seeing. I SCREAMED JUST SCREAMED. I thought I was going to die that night! After that I couldn’t sleep for months – just the roughest time ever (again) dealing with the OKLAHOMA DHS FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.

What I read under the descriptions of my grandsons bio – was that they were single births and had no other siblings! I immediately called to Oklahoma the next business day and got some answers – of course not what I wanted to hear.

The response was that – She had received approval to say that my grandchildren were the only child and had no siblings.

OH! What I didn’t mention, was that once I had reestablished myself on the West Coast – I requested an ICPC – transfer of my grandsons. I talked to the child worker at the time. Get This! She said that the Judge- Richard W. Kirby had said that I wasn’t to get my grandchildren at all, what so ever! I see that as “just pure evil and hatred”.

It’s been an emotional & painful journey!

My oldest grandson has aged out of the system. He’s turning 19 in December. As yet still no contact from him.

The next two under my oldest they are still in the system. I don’t here from them either.

The next two under the two that I just mentioned, they have been adopted out.

Then of course the youngest of my six grandchildren, he has been returned to his father, which was fairly early on. My grandson don’t have a recollection of ever being the foster care system.

You know this still seems as if I am living in a ‘NIGHTMARE’ and I can’t wake up! It’s just excruciating pain day in day out. You can bet that I have gone through it since – March 02, 2006. Not a day that goes by that I don’t think about my precious grandsons – What’s going on with them. Who are they with. Their health. Their education. How are they being treated. Just everything that one can imagine when you don’t know what’s going one with your babies.

You all understand what I am saying! A grandmother’s love. Family love.

The system is supposed to keep FAMILY’S TOGETHER- noticed I said supposed to. That system in Oklahoma, from what I’ve experienced including the Family Court. Clearly it’s Corruption and all about the Money -selling all the Children(adopting them out and getting paid).

PS. I want to let all of you know that once I returned back to the WEST COAST – Most definitely it was hard for me in that I had to leave my grandbabies out there in the system. OH! very painful and emotional for me.

Also for all of you that are involved with any DHS/CPS/CSD & the many other names that they may go by. Hang in there. Just don’t give up. It’s a very grueling and intense experience. Remember! The love we have for our love ones, family members, our grandbabies, our babies – That’s real. Pure Love.

We will get through this.

Hey what keeps me going are the many responses that I received from all of you & of course that I am determined to make sure that my grandchildren, they will all know the truth and what happened.

Because I am not a dead beat grandmother. I came forth as a loving and caring grandparent ought to. I done that. I moved and relocated from Nevada to Oklahoma, but not first before I took several FLIGHTS and DRIVEN my own personal vehicle. I done that and I’d do it all over again.

That’s how much I love my grandchildren.

It’s been almost 10 years since this tragedy have struck our family – It’s hard! Very Painful!

My grandchildren, they are not forgotten! They are loved, wanted and missed! They were taken and held hostage against their will. My grandchildren they wanted to come home. Grandma came for them. I was refused, denied and over looked deliberately in every thing that I requested.

Farina M Thompson.

ALL I WANT IS MY GRANDCHILDREN!

All I want is my grandchildren! My grandchildren have been in the Oklahoma foster care system since March 2 2006.

Since I have been challenged all the way through this ordeal, It’s been nothing but red-tape, coming from both the dhs and the family courts. The way these folks has handled my grandchildren’s case, has been anything but professional.

The family courts has ignored my grandparents rights! As well as my grandchildren’s rights too! Unprofessional behavior for sure.

I haven’t seen my grandchildren in over 2 years! Although I continue to write my grandchildren! I don’t get any response. The dhs and family court will not let my grandchildren write me in return. Nor do they let them call me! I haven’t heard their voices in over 2 years, since our last visit on 2-16-2010.

This has been a total nightmare for us! This is definitely wrong! My grandchildren! They are being shuffled all around in the foster care system, going from one place to the other and from group homes to group homes. Not to mention that my grandchildren are all on medications and labeled. This isn’t stabilization, nor is it in the Best Interest of the child!

I am feeling my grandchildren’s pain and suffering too! The Oklahoma Family Court has failed my grandchildren! As well as the Oklahoma DHS too! I came forth as the grandparent as I should have done. Went to court hearings and all that! But let me tell you! That it wasn’t a walk in the park either! They done me some terrible in the court. Dhs and the rest of the folks that are involved with this case have done nothing but work against me!

A lot of dirt was and still remains in the family court and because of that, my precious grandchildren still remains in the foster care system. My grandchildren should have been home by now. But no the dhs and the family court has denied me every step of the way, everything from denying me a home study to adoption to my guardianship to no visitation or phone calls.

That’s an injustice!

I am family and I am able to care for and raise my grandchildren. I want my grandchildren home with me and out of the foster care system.  This is wrong! It just don’t make any sense. My grandchildren has been in the system far way to long. My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed. They have family that loves them.

All i want is my grandchildren! We have endured so much since my grandchildren were taken. We have lost 6 years that we will never be able to get back. Dhs has stolen 6 years from us, our family.

My grandchildren have been emotionally traumatized, alienated and isolated and don’t forget medicated. My grandchildren, they have a right to see me their grandmother. But their rights has been violated too. They haven’t seen me since 2-16-2010. That’s a long time to not be in touch with me, their grandmother.

Oklahoma has treated us wrong! I am not happy about the way they have went about it  in my grandchildren’s case. It pains me that my precious grandchildren are still in the foster care system, just floating in the system. When they should be home with me with their loving grandmother, where they are loved.

My grandchildren, they mean the world to me. Our life will never ever be the same from this tragedy. Oklahoma has done us wrong! The court system has failed my grandchildren!y

Foster care isn’t no place for children, especially when there is family willing, and able to take care of the children. It’s about family reunification! Giving back the children to their families in a timely and efficient manner. The longer that children remains in the foster care system,  the more emotional damage traumatized they become. Children should be returned to their  family soon as they can be placed.

Children, they do suffer the longer that they remain in the foster care system the more traumatized they become.

My grandchildren, they are my life and my world. I misses them so very much. My only communication with them are through letters. Then I’m not sure if they are even getting the letters that I send them. I love them dearly.

All I want is my grandchildren home with me and out of the foster care system!

Oklahoma DHS , Foster Care and the Oklahoma Family Court are misusing and abusing their power. They are in my opinion doing whatever they feel like and that’s just not right. Because of this my grandchildren are suffering and remains in the foster care system. It’s just not right!

 

 

 

 

Oklahoma DHS

Hello There!

Hi and Thank you for taking the time to read my blogs!

Re:  CASE — MAY – DAVIS – BENJAMIN – WALKER; CASE # JD-06-180; KIDS# 20347104; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; County of Oklahoma.

This is about how Oklahoma DHS has operated and how they have processed and handled my grandsons case. How they have treated me, the children’s maternal and biological grandmother. And by the way! It’s been mentioned to me that this State of Oklahoma hasn’t no Grandparents Rights! That Grandparents don’t have the right to their grandchildren once they are in foster care. That too is disturbing to me!

Oklahoma DHS has not done everything in their power to return my grandchildren to me! Instead they have worked against me. Any DHS agency, are supposed to help the families? Or so I thought! This has not been the case for me!

You see I have been going through It with the State of Oklahoma/ foster care division. My grandchildren were taken nearly 6 years ago on

March 2 2006. They went to the schools and day care and stole  my grandchildren! I can’t imagine how my precious grandchildren were feeling when they were gathered up by the state agency called Oklahoma DHS and the Oklahoma Police and hauled off. Every time I think of that day and my grandbabies going through that! I just break down and cry! They stole them from school!

I am not from Oklahoma. This isn’t my home! However I moved here to deal with this matter! In order to get my grandchildren! This has been a horrible and tragedy for us.

In The Best Interest of the Child! Then! Every Effort has Been made to Place the children with the Grandmother! Those two Statements are so farther from the truth! I’ve never seen anything like this ever in my life. This has been a circus dealing with these cold-hearted people. All I want are to get my grandsons out of the foster care system.

From the Judge on down to the folks that are working in the DHS office. You would think that an agency would want to make a fast conclusion to give the children back to the family. But No!

They will not give me a Home-Study of my Oklahoma Residence: What in the world are these folks doing — My grandchildren deserves to be with family and love-ones. Those who care and love the children! I am financially able and established to provide for all of my grandchildren. I don’t need any assistance at all. I make over $35,000.00 a year. I’m not hurting for anything!  My grandchildren are loved, wanted and so truly missed. They have family!

I have never been to prison! I’m not a felon! I’m a registered voter! I keep a clean and decent house! I’m responsible and have all my bills in my name! I have transportation and Insurance! I’m reliable and have a good head on my shoulder! My Oklahoma rental is over 2,000 sq ft. I have a 3 bedroom + 2 ba + 2 car garage! I have both a washer and dryer! I keep a refrigerator full of food. My cabinets are full as well!

Oklahoma DHS has been the culprit right along with the Judge in not giving me my grandchildren. This isn’t right at all. How can these agency continue doing all this dirt to innocent folks? Just as myself, all I want is to get my grandchildren! There surely something wrong here in this State of Oklahoma! The system has failed my grandchildren! Totally failed them! This is so disturbing!

I’ve been to the Oklahoma State Capitol to seek help, from anyone that would listen and be willing to help. But I didn’t get anywhere. No one would do anything. All I got was rejection! It is very disturbing! These are my grandchildren and I love them very  much. Everyone has turned a blind eye to this situation. I was only asking for some help.

Family is the foundation on what children grow up on and able to make good decisions. With out family where would the world be today. Everyone need their family! “The love of a family is Life’s Greatest Blessing” yet those folks are doing everything in their power to destroy my family. Trying to destroy the lives of my precious grandchildren and the lives of our family of reuniting back together. I just don’t understand this at all. This is an awful shame!

Oklahoma DHS people are a cruel bunch of cold-hearted souls.

My grandchildren have been in the foster care system for some time now! It still isn’t easier than from when they were first taken. The pain is their! I have been grieving since day one that my grandbabies were taken. I haven’t seen my grandsons since 2.16.2010, yeas nearly 2 years ago. My grandchildren have been alienated and isolated from me. My only contact with my grandchildren are through letters! That’s it! That’s all! Totally outrageous and wrong!

My grandchildren, they deserve to have contact with their biological grandmother. My grandchildren rights has been violated. My grandchildren have been through so much while being in foster care. Oklahoma DHS isn’t no good! They operate and make their own rules. Really a pain in the _______.

Oklahoma DHS has not professionally handled/ processed my grandchildren’s case. This has been nothing but a NIGHTMARE!

In closing! I would ask for Everyone to please Pray for me and my grandchildren! For we are going through a most difficult time in our lives right now! Please keep us in Prayer! Pray that this suffering comes to an end for my precious grandsons! God Bless You!

Thank You and God Bless You and Yours.

Grieving Grandmother,

Farina M Thompson

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oklahoma DHS Case# JD-06-180; KIDS# 20347104; MARCH 2 2006

Hello Everyone!

Hi I am Farina Thompson, grandmother to 5 precious and adorable grandsons, that were taken by the State of Oklahoma DHS/ foster care unit, some nearly 6 years ago on March 2 2006. My life and the lives of my grandchildren as well as the rest of our loving family will never be the same. Our lives have been shattered! The Hell that this agency – Oklahoma Department of Human Services/ Foster Care Division has put our family through has been incomprehensible. Just wrong! It’s an Injustice!

The Oklahoma Family Court System has failed my grandchildren. My grandchildren are in the system, going from one placement to the other because the system has failed my precious grandchildren. Isn’t it about Family? Helping the families and the children? It’s about strengthening the American Families! Not eliminating and destroying them!

My grandchildren, til this day remains in the Oklahoma DHS foster care system, they are suffering and has endured so much, while being alienated and isolated from their family and love ones. My grandchildren’s case – Oklahoma DHS/ Foster Care Case hasn’t been handled – processed correctly. It’s not been professionally processed. It’s Just Wrong! Wrong! You Hear Me? It’s Just An Injustice!

I’m here on this media site to let everyone know of what’s going on here in “The Good Ole Boy State” (from what I’ve been told of this name for this state) The State of Oklahoma.

I’ve written several articles before! I will continue to put this out there, til someone will take an interest, because this is very important, especially for me and my dear grandchildren! We have been treated wrong! But not only for us. It’s so many children that’s in the foster care system that doesn’t have anyone to go to bat for them. No one to speak for them.  I feel from my own experience of having dealt with Oklahoma DHS – fighting for my 5 oldest grandsons. That this is a form of slavery – literally. Let me explain my reasoning for saying that!

1. First of all when the State government takes your love -ones and do away with them as they please with no insight of family member requesting to have the children placed with them, to get them out of the system.

2. The State government refuses to let the children have visitation from their biological grandmother.

3. The child has no contact with the family what so ever  except through letters from their grandmother.

4. The children aren’t allowed to write to their family or call them.

5. The Judge refuses to order DHS agency to do a home-study.

6. The State agency denies the children their right to remain in contact with their family.

7. The State agency labels the children and put them on medication so strong that it affects the child.

8. I’ve contacted many political officials at the Oklahoma State Capitol no one would help or take an interest in my request.

9. Foster Care is Big Business -Big Money $$– Straight Revenue.

10. The Case workers – CASA Worker(s) – therapists – The Judge- Judge Richard W Kirby – DHS Attorney – Even some foster parents are in the circle to interrupt the reunification of the children with their family.

11. Oklahoma DHS has requested and been given approval by the Judge – Judge Kirby;  to keep me out of court from further proceedings to get my grandsons out of foster care, this took place in February 2011.

Everything that I have just mentioned has happened to me  in the Oklahoma Family Court under the Direction of the Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby.

Since I have been here in the State of Oklahoma, I’ve been told that this state doesn’t have Grandparents Rights! No One from what I can tell even wants to here anything about Grandparents Having rights to their Grandchildren. That’s especially true when the children are in the custody of the State. I have been preaching the Grandparents Rights Speech for the longest. However I haven’t gotten anywhere!

I am my grandchildren’s biological and maternal Grandparent. I am all they have out here in the State of Oklahoma. You see! I moved out to the midwest solely because of the DHS involvement in our lives. We have no family out here in Oklahoma. I only came out to this side of the map to take care of this matter with the Oklahoma DHS. They have my grandchildren my precious grandsons, Which they just don’t want to return them to our family.

My grandsons, they have had over 10 social workers; my grandchildren they are all separated; my grandchildren are on medications and they have been labeled. My grandsons are in both groups homes and foster homes. They are shuffled and shafted around in the foster care system just being bounced around like ping-pong balls. All the while being alienated and isolated from their family and love ones, their maternal and biological grandmother, which relocated from Reno Nevada.

I haven’t heard my grandsons voices since February 16 2010, nor have I hugged them or kissed. The last time I saw my grandsons was on that date of February 16 2010. Children alienation and isolation from their family is wrong! The children are already traumatized as it is from being in Foster Care. Don’t you think? I think that’s really cruel for the state and the family court judge to do this to my grandchildren, our family. Frankly It’s just wrong period, for any child to be alienated and isolated from their family while in the states foster care system.

I know every case is different! I am aware of that! But when the state has no reason to keep the grandmother away from her biological grandchildren for reasons just to satisfy the persons personal grudge against the Grandmother! I’m talking about me! Because that’s what is going on here in the case of my grandchildren.

Oklahoma family court judge Richard W Kirby, DHS Tara Bone, DHS Director Howard Hendrick, DHS Case Worker Betty Cosgrave- Camacho, DHS County Director Deloris Ferguson, and there are so many others involved with this case. DHS Attorney Jane Brown, DHS Public Defender for the children Ryan Hauser,  all of these individuals are of affiliation with Oklahoma DHS.

I have so much paper work. Just files and files. I keep record and documentation on everything. This state has done so much wrong in the case of my grandsons. My grandsons should have been home by now. But Because of how they operate and to me they Make their laws as they go. Huh! Oklahoma is an awful state to get your grandchildren or love-ones taken. This place is terrible! My grandsons have suffered tremendously. I am feeling their pain too.

No one can imagine what I have gone through and continue to go through! The lost of my grandchildren and fighting for them. Not giving up Hope!  For sure this is a LIVING NIGHTMARE! That’s without a doubt! Not being able to hug your grandbabies or love ones, not being able to see them or even being able to be apart of their lives. This is a TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PAIN AND SUFFERING!!!!

To all of you that have read this. Please pass it around for others to view if they are interested. Foster Care Isn’t a place for children, especially if they have family and love-ones to take them in. No-one can and will love and take care of your children and family like you can and will. Children deserves to be with their family members and not in the foster care system floating and bouncing around. How the judge will not authorise and order Oklahoma DHS to give me a Home- Study to prove my home is Fit and qualified for my grandchildren to come home!  My grandbabies! My grandbabies! OH! Lord! That’s not right! Family is the most important part of the children. Without family! Who do you have? Oklahoma has done me and my grandchildren wrong! The people handling my grandsons case are not right! From the Judge on down.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read what I have to say about the terrible problem of foster care; and how the State of Oklahoma are treating my grandchildren in foster care and continues to alienate them from me and our family. My precious grandsons have been traumatized and emotionally damaged from this injustice. They have been taken away from their family and not allowed to have contact with us.

Laws need to be changed! At this rate so many children will be lost. As the children grow up and age out of the system. They are kicked out and have no place to go. By then they have no contact with their biological family. But the government seems to think it’s fine and ok. But they have gotten paid big money for housing them, labeling them and god knows what else the children suffer behind closed doors of the foster care system. Oklahoma DHS has not done their job! They are keeping my grandchildren from me! They have lied and falsified documents to look good in court. Oklahoma DHS are a horrible group of individuals! That’s my opinion. From what I’ve experienced! These folks are cold-hearted and heartless. Half of them if not more are in the wrong field of employment, for sure!!!

Please pray for me and my grandsons that we will be reunited. Keep us in your prayers. It’s truly appreciated!

Thank You and God Bless You and Yours.

Grandmother you can’t have your grandchildren!

Grandmother! You can’t have your grandchildren!!

The state of Oklahoma will not and has not given me my grandsons! According to the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, they say they are requesting my grandchildren for permanent placement. Permanent Placement, that means to be adopted out!!  Their reasoning as they state are because in 1983 I had a food stamp case out of California. Not only that! Oklahoma states that it was a Felony! Which it isn’t true.

There is no way that it is a felony! If that was true, there would be no way that I could ever enlist into the United States Military. I was in the Army. I quartermaster. My MOS — 76v10.

This mess with Oklahoma is absurd! They aren’t helping the situation. Instead they are causing more grief. You mean to tell me because of something as minor as that! It is the reason for them to keep my grandchildren! How ridiculous! That is so heartless and cold-blooded.

My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed! This is wrong! My grandsons have love-ones and family that cares very much about them. Because of a 1983 case, almost 30 years ago,Oklahoma DHS, they are determined to continue to deny me my grandsons, my flesh and blood. This is vengeful, cruelty, and a personal vendetta. Honestly! Because my son-n-law a felon out of California, over 13 years in prison! The judge, Judge Richard Kirby, he gave my youngest grandson to his father, to that very person. Yes! I know he is the Father! I get it! But when the children doesn’t have a parent fighting for them, shouldn’t a grandparent be the next in line to take over? Especially when the grandparent wants the children and are able to provide and care for them?

I just want my grandchildren out of the foster care system. My grandsons! I miss them so much. It is so painful!

Case– May, Davis, Benjamin, Walker; Case # JD-06-180; Judge Richard W Kirby; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; County of Oklahoma. March 2 2006 children taken into DHS foster care.

Oklahoma Department of Human Services has done me and my grandchildren a raw deal. It’s an injustice! It’s not right! What so ever! Oklahoma is corrupt and the system is truly broken.

Please pray for me and my precious grandchildren. Please pray that we be a family and be reunited so that we can go on about our lives. We need to move on and put this behind us. Please pray for us.

Thank You and God Bless You & Yours

Grieving Grandmother

Farina and Grandchildren

Please pray for me and my grandchildren, that this will be all over so that we can move on in our lives. 5 years is damage enough.

We are a family that has strong ties and bonds together.. We connect at the heart and our love is very strong.

When the devil is so active. I just ask that you all will keep me and my babies in prayer. Thank You.

I know that my heavenly father seeing everything and i am sure that his love will definitely prevails. It’s amazing how people of the flesh still thinks of them selves to be higher than the HIGHER POWER.

With the dirt and corruption in the  family courts, I pray for peace and serenity. To come to those that has a demized heart and pray that they will find peace with in themselves so that they can let go of the hatred that’s in their hearts.

Please pray for my family and for them that need God!

Thank You.

Corruption in the OKDHS Organization

March 4. 2010 ( Thursday)
 
Corruption in the organization named OKDHS–foster care unit.
That’s what I’m conversing on, Okdhs – foster care program that’s in controlled by Director Howard Hendrick.

Corruption indeed it is.
OKDHS didn’t give me approved and or regular visitation nothing at all.

After 4 long emotional and antagonizing years of not being able to see my grandchildren and how they were doing or even just to hear their voices on the phone was enough to make you scream and pull your hair out, (nervous wreck), any way it was only after the judge ordered the state to give me visitation, not just any visitation, it was, supervised with therapeutic visitation.
(by the way Okdhs denied the recommendation right in court just a few steps from where i was standing with my attorney.)
After 4 years i have my visitation. I am so happy on that note to be able to see my precious babies. Just to hug themand hold them.
Visitation was approved in Oklahoma County, In Oklahoma City on Tuesday January 19th 2010 before Judge Richard W Kirby

I have been in the state of Oklahoma, for now going on 2 years. The reason why that i am here in this state, is solely because of the states refusing to give me my own grandchildren. I am their biological and maternal grandmother. The children’s mother relinquished her parental rights on September 15Th 2009. I’ve been attending court proceedings and not missing a one. Because it’s so important to show before the judge. (which I’ve been doing just that).

Oklahoma Department of Human Services(Okdhs), has continuously denied me my grandchildren. They have been dancing around the answer so as to make it sound reasonable and ethical. Point blank It’s all bologna. Not a good enough reason,but it is sure staying in court. What they have put on paper and (i have proof of that); It states the reason being as follows; Because of my past decisions and actions. Well get real, that’s the best they can come up with, when i don’t have a prison record, I have no felonies. It goes on to state, that if i wish to pursue the matter, then it would be wise to retain an attorney. Because only a court of law will be able to give me back my grandchildren.These people are out of their mind. What they thought I was going to just leave my grandsons in the state screwed up hands when i didn’t want them there in the first place.
Like I’ve stated earlier, that i wasn’t a felon. Well get this, Okdhs, they gave my youngest grandson, to his father who is an ex-felon, he done 13 years in the California Dept of Correction. Whats wrong with this picture?
Initially there were 6 of my grandsons were in the states hands, but they (OKDHS) gave my baby, the youngest of them all to his biological father, which was great because he would be out of the system.

But, what I am angry and upset about, is that OKDHS continue to keep my 5 oldest grandsons in there, when i am here for them and that I am not a felon, nor have i ever been to prison.

They say because of my past actions and decisions. This system, government is corrupt and needs to be brought down and restructured. It truly does. Other wise it will continue to hurt and destroy children’s lives and the families of these precious ones. This is an injustice! Oklahoma DHS is too far stuck in time. These people needs to step up to the plate and stop trying to play God.

I’m furious over that. I’ve even contacted the Oklahoma Governor, Brad Henry and he forwards it on to Okdhs. I’ve emailed the white house on several occasions and also I’ve wrote to the white house and to the first family. I am hopeful, although, it’s a long shot.

I’ve done nothing wrong for this state of oklahoma to keep my love ones from me.

Oklahoma has tried to scare me off by saying that i’ve allegations from nevada, (which i asked for proof and i received it from nevada.) So they couldn’t use that against me. So then Oklahoma, tries something else. Ah! they stopped my classes for licensing for my Oklahoma Foster care to have my grandsons placed with me while in foster care. They rejected me on that, by telling the agency, Not to certify me.(I have that letter for proof as well).

Oh yea! Oklahoma is so corrupt. They are worst than dirty. Believe It.

I keep writing to the Oklahoma Governor: Governor Brad Henry.

I’m just a concerned and loving grandmother, that will and has gone the distance and will continue until this here mess is over and done. I’ve moved and relocated from Reno Nevada to beable to handle this and be loyal in going to court. I’ve rented a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ,2 car garage home, it’s over 2000 square feet, (which i have more than enough room for my boys.) I love these children.

My grand-babies has been out of the home now for 4 very long and emotional years. The Pain. It’s so bad. I wouldn’t wish this on no-one. March 2 2010, marked the 4 year.

For all those that take an interest :

Please Pray for Me and my 5 grandsons on that they be safely returned back home to where they are loved and missed.

Thank You and God Bless
