That Will Be $400.00

It seems at this point, in spite of our many legal attempts, we cannot see nor have custody of Angel and Armoni. So I decided to go about this a different way. The siblings of Angel and Armoni have not been allowed to see each other as well. After researching I discovered that adoptions done through Maricopa County Courts there is a program that will reunite siblings who have been separated by adoptions. It is called The Confidential Intermediary Program which provides a service to help facilitate contact between parties of an adoption (Adoption triad members) or siblings separated as a result of a dependency action. Voila! If we couldn’t see the children here’s an opportunity for the children to see each other. I placed a call and it was explained to me how it works. However, there is a fee, $400.00 dollars. For those of you that have been following my blog and it seems that there are only 3 of you, you now know that we have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours in the efforts to gain custody of Angel and Armoni. There is not a price that can be place on seeing our grandchildren or having our grandchildren seeing each other. However that $400.00 represents to me another injustice of this system of extorting money for something that they do not own in the first place, family.

This time of the year is especially hard, because this is the time for family. I hope someday Kathy B, the new adoptive mother, will someday read this blog and have a change of heart. After all this is the time of the year when people believe that so call miracles happen. Well, this remains to be seen. For now Kathy please grow a heart and realize that these children need their God given family. To all those foster and adoptive families who feel that keeping children away from their biological family is somehow heroic, please think again. It’s immoral, it is wrong on so many levels, and it’s an insult to God who created the institution of Family.
