I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!!! OKDHS.

THE PLAN FOR ANY CASE IN FOSTERCARE IS ULTIMATELY FAMILY REUNIFICATION. WITH THAT BEING SAID. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY DAUGHTERS' CASE. YOU SEE I AM HERE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HER CHILDREN. WELL, WE ARE NOT BEING TREATED FAIR. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SYSTEM HERE IN OKLAHOMA . I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THEY ARE FIGHTING ME WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE. AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY.
I AS A GRANDMOTHER CAME FORWARD TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND STEP IN TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. BECAUSE WE NEED CLOSURE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
OKDHS, THEY HAVE RULED ME OUT OF THIS FOR NO REASON, WELL NO LEGITIMATE REASON. YOU SEE DHS ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES. THEY ARE NOT PLAYING IT ACCURATE OR STRAIGHT.
DHS IS WRONG AND TO ME THE WHOLE SYSTEM JUST STINKS. MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE STILL IN FOSTER CARE. THEY SHOULD BE AT HOME WITH US. I'M IRRITATED AT THE WHOLE THING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 YEARS AND THEN SOME. IT'S CRAZY. THIS IS VERY SAD FOR MY FAMILY. WE ALL ARE HURTING AND IN PAIN. MY GRANDCHILDREN WANTS TO COME BACK HOME. WE HAVE BEEN APART TOO LONG.
THESE FOLKS HAS NO RIGHT OTHER THAN WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DO BECAUSE OF THEM WEARING THEIR BADGES.

A GRANDMOTHERS' JOURNEY

I AM THE MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER THAT'S DOING EVERYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO KEEP MY GRANDCHILDREN FROM BEING PERMANENTLY TAKEN AWAY FROM OUR FAMILY. THE OKLAHOMA DHS FOSTER CARE AGENCY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. THEY ARE TOTALLY AGAINST ME. I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG AT ALL. I AM JUST THE CHILDRENS GRANDMOTHER THAT LOVES THEM DEARLY AND WANT THEM BOYS BACK HOME AND OUT THE SYSTEM. I RELOCATED FROM RENO NEVADA TO OKLAHOMA FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. I HAVE NOT BEEN TREATED FAIR. THEY DON'T CARE THAT I CAME ALL THIS WAY. THIS IS SO PAINFUL FOR ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN.THEY WON'T EVEN LET ME SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN, NOR DO I EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO TALK TO THEM ON THE PHONE. I WANT TO HEAR THEIR LITTLE VOICES. THESE ARE MY GRANDCHILDREN. HOW DARE THESE FOLKS DO THIS TO US. NO MATTER WHAT I AM GRANDMA AND I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I AM NOT LEAVING, I AM HERE FOR MY DAUGHTERS' CHILDREN. WE LOVE THESE KIDS. THE CHILDREN LOVE US. THEY LOVE THEIR GRANDMA.MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE TAKEN ON MARCH 02, 2006THAT'S THE DAY MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED. IT HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND INSIDE OUT EVER SENCE.THIS HAS BEEN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER, A VERY VERY LONG JOURNEY AND BATTLE. A TRULY CHALLENGING AND HEART WRINCHING EXPERIENCE THAT I WOULDN'T WISH ON ANYONE.THERE'S TIMES THAT I CAN'T SLEEP OR EAT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT I JUST LAY IN MY BED, JUST PRAYING FOR STRENGTH AND WONDERING WHAT ARE GRANDCHILDREN DOING AND WHERE ARE THEY. I WONDER THRU OUT THE DAY IF I WILL GET A TELEPHONE CALL FROM ANYONE OF THEM. I'M STANDING BY THE PHONE JUST GUARDED AND POSTED SO AS IF I DO SO HAPPEN TO GET A PHONE CALL, THAT I WON'T MISS IT. I MISS MY GRANDSONS. MY DAUGHTER GAVE BIRTH TO 6 BOYS. THE BABY WAS TAKEN AT BIRTH, BUT HE ISN'T IN THE SYSTEM, BECAUSE HE'S WITH HIS DAD. I'M FIGHTING FOR MY DAUGHTERS' FIRST FIVE CHILDREN, HER OLDER FIVE BOYS. THEIR AGES ARE 5,8,9,10, AND 12. I HAVE MISSED SO MUCH THESE LAST PAST 3 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS. THAT REALLY HURTS ME SO MUCH, BECAUSE I AM FAMILY ORIENTED AND I ENJOY BEING WITH AND AROUND MY GRANDCHILDREN. I LOVE TAKING CARE OF THEM. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT BEFORE THEY WERE TAKEN AWAY. I HAD IN THE STATE OF NEVADA, I HAD FULL GUARDIANSHIP GRANTED. YEAH, BUT THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA REFUSED TO AKNOWLEDGE THE OUT OF STATE COURT ORDER. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING THERE. I EVEN HIRED AN ATTORNEY FROM OKLAHOMA AND HE WENT BEFORE THE JUDGE AND PRESENTED THE EXEMPLIFIED ORDER OF GUARDIANSHIP, THEY STILL TURNED IT DOWN. I AM STILL FIGHTING. THAT ONE APPEARANCE COST ME A MERE $4000.00 SO THAT COURT DATE WASN'T WHAT I HAD EXPECTED TO HAPPEN AND WITH THAT THE ATTORNEY WANTED ANOTHER $8000.00 TO APPEAL THAT DECISION AND THAT WAS ALL FROM THAT ATTORNEY. CLEARLY I WAS DISAPPOINTED. I DID FILE A COMPLAINT, BUT NOTHING CAME OF IT. SO THAT'S THAT ON THE ATTORNEY AND MY $4000.00. NOW HERE IT IS A YEAR OR SO LATER: I AM STILL CARRYING OUT THE MISSION TRYING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND GET THE WORD OUT ON HOW I AM BEING TREATED HERE IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. I AM NO CRIMINAL, I'M NO FELON. I'VE NEVER EVER BEEN TO PRISON. I AM A VETERAN FROM THE UNITED STATES ARM FORCES. I DON'T NEED NO MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF AND RAISE MY DAUGHTERS' CHILDREN, MY GRANDCHILDREN, I'M NOT ASKING FOR ONE RED CENT. I JUST WANT MY GRANDCHIDREN BACK IN MY ARMS AND IN MY HOME, THAT'S ALL I WANT. WE ARE FAMILY, WE ARE FAMILY, HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS IS OUTRIGHT WRONG. THIS IS TRULY DEVASTATING. I AM SO TIRED OF CRYING AND WEEPING BUT I HAVE TO, I CAN'T STOP IT. I HAVE CAME SO FAR I MUST KEEP UP . MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE COUNTING ON THEIR GRANDMOTHER. THEY KNOW THAT I AM HERE AND DO WANT TO COME HOME.

SO SO PLEASE PLEASE HELP A GRANDMOTHER IN DISTRESS.
MY NAME IS FARINA THOMPSON GIVE ME A CALL @ 405-789-4064

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE!

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE IN THIS STATE, THIS COURT PRECEDING.
THE RESIDING JUDGE; JUDGE RICHARD KIRBY. THIS MAN ISN'T LETTING ME SPEAK. I AM NOT ABLE TO BE HEARD. TO ME THIS IS JUST PLAIN RAILROADING. THEY JUST MADE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF MY DAUGHTER. FOR THE SIMPLE FACT SHE ISN'T FROM THIS (AS THEY SAY; GOOD OLE BOUY STATE). WE ARE FROM THE WEST COAST. SO ANY WAY, THE JUDGE ISN'T REALLY INTO THE CASE, HE IS JUST GOING ON WHAT OKDHS IS STATING AND NOT LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE. FOR INSTANCE, THE FACT THAT I MOVED , RELOCATED AND HAS MADE OKLAHOMA MY RESIDENCE. JUST ON THAT ALONE, I BELIEVE THAT, THAT WAS A SHOCKER TO THEM. IT'S AS IF THEY DIDN'T OR COULDN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY DONE THAT FOR MY CHILD. I HAVE PROVEN MYSELF, BY MY ACTIONS ON WHAT I'VE DONE ALREADY. HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW THAT I MEAN WELL AND STILL ON THE ROAD TO ACHIEVING THIS HERE GOAL IN GETTING MY GRANDCHILDREN BACK HOME.
THE JUDGE HAS THREATENED ME WITH CONTEMPT OF COURT. BUT BY NOW THAT DON'T LOOK BAD AT ALL AS LONG AS I GET THIS MESSAGE OUT OF: THAT THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG IN THIS COURT ROOM. THIS CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND DONE. I AM APART OF THE SOLUTION. I CAME HERE TO HELP. NOT TO BE CONTINUING TO SUFFER. THIS NEEDS TO COME TO AN END. MY GRANDCHILDREN AND MYSELF NEEDS SOME CLOSURE. WE ARE TIRED AND IT'S TIME FOR US TO START HEALING. WE NEED TO START OR BONDING PROCESS. WE DESERVE TO BE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN AND ONCE AND FOR ALL.
THESE PEOPLE IN THE COURT, ARE TRYING TO PLAY GOD, WHICH THEY HAVE NO RIGHT, JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A TITLE. I CAN CARELESS ABOUT THE TITLE. IT'S ALL ABOUT FAMILY. FAMILY IS THE KEY. REUNIFICATION IS THE PLAN. IT'S JUST A BOTHER TO ME AT HOW THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA IS WORKING THEIR COURT SYSTEM. IT'S DAMAGING AND IN NOWAY RAN CORRECTLY. I CAN FOR SURE SAY, THAT THE COURT DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT I CAME DOWN TO OKLAHOMA, IT WAS MENTIONED BY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER, THAT I CAME DOWN HERE TO HELP MY CHILD OUT AND BAIL HER OUT AND THE PUBLIC DEFENDER SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT. THAT PISSED THEM OFF AND THEY SURE HAVE MADE IT HARDER FOR THE MOTHER OF THE CHILDREN: THEY HAVE REQUIREMENTS, THAT THEY WANT HER TO COMPLETE, WITHOUT MY HELP WHAT SO EVER. WHICH I BELIEVE IT'S TO MUCH, CONSIDERING WHAT'S HANGING OVER HER HEAD. SHE HAS 6 FELONIES AND ON HER OWN. IT'S SURE NOT EASY FOR HER AND THEY SAID SHE HAS TO DO IT ON HER OWN. COME ON SHE HAS 6 FELONIES AND SHE HAS TO GET A JOB, AS WELL AS GET A HOUSE FOR HER KIDS WITHOUT THE HELP OF HER MOTHER. SHE NEEDS HELP THIS IS A LOT FOR SOMEONE IN HER SHOES DON'T YOU THINK SO? COME ON, NOW! SO THAT'S WHY I AM HERE TO HELP! AND THIS GOOD OLE BOUY STATE DON'T LIKE IT. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING ON THAT NOTE?LIKE I MENTIONED SOMETHING IS MOST DEFINENTLY WRONG WITH THIS HERE. A CHILD SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY, BUT I'M LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THIS STATE IS THE WORST STATE TO GET YOUR CHILDREN SNATCHED, OR TAKEN AWAY. THEY PUT YOU THROUGH PURE HELL. IT'S A NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH IT. THIS HAS BEEN AND STILL IS A JOURNEY. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN THIS IS OVER. SOMETHING IS WRONG.
WELL I HAVE NEWS FOR THEM: I AM A GREAT MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER AND I AM HERE TO STAY THRU THE DURATION. I AM GOING TO DO WHAT EVER IT IS THAT I HAVE TO INORDER TO GET MY FAMILY BACK TOGETHER. WE ARE A FAMILY AND WE WILL BE REUNITED OF COURSE. OKLAHOMA ARE PULLING THEIR DIRT. BUT FORSURE THEY CAN'T OUT WEIGH THE KING OF GLORY, THE LORD HIMSELF. THEY ARE GOING TO SURRENDER. AMEN. GOD KNOWS THAT I LOVE AND MISS MY GRANDCHILDREN.

Painful

THIS IS SO PAINFUL. I DON'T EVEN NO WHERE TO BEGIN. FORSURE IT'S VERY ROUGH. I TRULY MISS MY GRANDCHILDREN. IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT THE LITTLE ONES. THEY ARE THE JOY IN MY LIFE. THEY ARE MY MOST PRECIOUS ONES. I CAN'T BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THE FEELING OF DISBELIEF OF WHAT AND OR HOW I AM FEELING AND GOING THROUGH DURING THIS PARTICULAR TIME IN MY LIFE. THIS HAS BEEN AND CURRENTLY STILL IS A CHALLENGING EVENT IN MY LIFE. I HURT SO BAD. IT'S TIMES THAT I DON'T EVEN SLEEP AT NIGHT. SOMETIMES I JUST LAY THERE AND BURST OUT IN TEARS. I WONDER WHAT MY BABIES ARE DOING? AND IF THEY ARE COPING ALRIGHT! I WORRY ABOUT THEM. I FEEL FOR THEM, WHAT THEY MUST BE FEELING AND HOW THEY ARE SO TIRED AND WANTS TO COME BACK HOME, JUST NOT KNOWING WHEN AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE. I AM HURTING BECAUSE MY BABIES SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. THIS IS DEFINENTLY PAINFUL FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN AND MYSELF. I LOVE MY BLESSINGS. I'M PRAYING EVERYDAY OF THEIR RETURN. I WANT MY GRANDCHILDREN HOME. WE HAVE LOST THE LAST 31/2 YEARS SINCE MARCH 02, 2006. NO MORE PLEASE PLEASE I JUST WANT MY GRANDSONS BACK HOME. WE DON'T NEED NO MORE OF THIS PAIN.

TO MY GRANDSONS, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. GRANDMA MISS'S YOU SO SO MUCH. JUST HANG IN THERE. I AM RIGHT HERE. MUCH LOVE MY LITTLE ONES.

A grandmother's search

Today i spent the majority of the day searching and looking for an attorney and advertising trying to get the word out. I have been making calls and thinking of ways to handle this.
I have to keep on trying for my grandsons, they want and need to come home.

THIS IS A MOTHER'S/GRANDMOTHER'S WORST NIGHTMARE....

THIS IS A MOTHER'S/GRANDMOTHER'S WORST NIGHTMARE.....

MY GRANDSONS' ARE IN THE FOSTERCARE SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS. THIS IS THE WORST PAIN THAT I'VE EVER FELT. THIS IS WORST THAN GIVING BIRTH.

MY LIFE HAS CHANGED, IT HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN SINCE THIS ALL BEGAN. I CAN'T DO NOTHING BUT THINK ABOUT MY GRANDCHILDREN, HOW TO GET THEM BACK. I THINK ABOUT WHAT CAN I DO. AND , HOW DO I GO ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT EASY.

I'M NO FELON, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO PRISON. I'M A VETERAN OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES. I'M EDUCATED. I'M A LOVING INDIVIDUAL AND ONE WHO LOVES HER FAMILY. MY GRANDCHILDREN MEANS THE WORLD TO ME. I CAN'T SEE LIVING MY LIFE WITHOUT THEM. THEY ARE THE APPLE IN MY EYE. I LOVE MY GRANDKIDS. I MISS THEM SO MUCH. NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I AM NOT IN PAIN.

OKLAHOMA DHS DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. THE TRUTH IS THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. IN COURT, I GETS NO PAPERWORK. ALL THE PAPERWORK THAT I RECEIVE I HAVE TO GET IT ON MY OWN MEANING I HAVE TO GO TO THE COURT CLERK AND REQUEST A COPY. I AM NOT APART OF THE CASE, LET DHS TELL IT. I THINK THAT IS WRONG. I AM THE CHILREN'S MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER. WHY NOT?, I SHOULD BE A PART OF THE CASE. I AM HERE TO BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. THAT'S MY ONLY SOLE PURPOSE.

OKLAHOMA DHS FOSTER CARE AGENCY HAS BEEN AGAINST ME FROM DAY ONE AND I DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST REASON WHY. THIS WHOLE THING JUST HAVE ME TOTAL DISGUSTED.

I THOUGHT THE FOSTERCARE SYSTEM WAS ABOUT FAMILY REUNIFICATION. OR SO I THOUGHT. BUT, SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION I HAVE SEEN OTHERWISE. IT'S JUST NOT SO. THIS IS SO SO SAD. THE ONES THAT'S BEEN HURTING THE MOST IS THE CHILDREN. I WORRY ABOUT THEM SO MUCH. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH.

MY GRANDCHILDREN DESERVES TO BE IN MY HOME WITH THEIR GRANDMA. I LOVE THESE BOYS. THEY ARE MY HEART. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME MY GRANDCHILDREN. YET BEFORE THEY WERE TAKEN INTO FOSTERCARE, I HAD GUARDIANSHIP AND THEY TOTALLY IGNORED THE LEGAL PAPERWORK. ASWELL AS, IGNORED THE ATTORNEY, THAT COST ME A MERE $4000.00 ATTORNEY THAT I HAD OBTAINED TO REPRESENT ME BEFORE THE JUDGE, BUT IT DID NO GOOD,SO I JUST LOST THAT $4000.00.

THE STATE ISN'T LOOKING AT ANYTHING THAT I'VE DONE TO GET MY GRANDCHILDREN OUT OF THE SYSTEM.
I'VE COMPLETED THE FOSTER/ADOPTIVE CARE CLASSES AND RECEIVED MY CERTIFICATES.
I'VE MY CPR CERTIFICATION.
I'VE MOVED AND RELOCATED HERE TO OKLAHOMA FROM RENO NEVADA.
I'M A RESIDENT OF OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
I'VE A 3 BEDROOM 2 BATH, OVER 2,000 SQUARE FEET HOME.
I HAD STARTED THE FOSTER CARE CERTIFICATION HERE IN OKLAHOMA BUT THE AGENCY(MEANING OKLAHOMA DHS FOSTERCARE) PHONED THE TRAINING FACILITY AND TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULDN'T AND COULDN'T LICENSE MY HOME SO THEREFORE NOT TO CERTIFY ME FOR A FOSTER CARE LICENSE... I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. I WAS ASTOUNISHED.

THIS IS TERRIBLE. THIS IS A SHAME. HOW CAN THIS BE? WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE. YET, I AM BEING SHUT OUT OF MY GRANDCHILDREN'S LIFE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL WHAT SO EVER. I AM A GREAT MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. MY GRANDKIDS LOVE THEIR GRANDMA. AND I LOVE MY GRANDKIDS.
OKLAHOMA WILL NOT WIN THIS FIGHT, SO HELP ME GOD.

I AM A VERY STRONG WOMAN. I AM ONE NOT TO GIVE UP. I WILL KEEP ON FIGHTING. I'M NOT GIVING UP NOR WILL I GIVE IN.
MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE MY STRENGTH.
I SAY A PRAYER FOR THEM EACH AND EVERY NIGHT.
I SAY A PRAYER FOR MY FAMILY EACH AND EVERYDAY AND NIGHT.
WE ARE A LOVING FAMILY AND THIS WILL NOT END OUR FAMILY.
I KNOW MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE COMING HOME.
I'M DOING WHAT EVER I HAVE TO DO. I LOVE MY GRANDCHILDREN MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD. I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THEM.
I HAVE TRAVELLED FROM RENO NEVADA TO OKLAHOMA CITY OKLHAHOMA.

HI, to everyone out there that's reading this. I am a loving grandmother and i am here in the State of Oklahoma i have moved here from Reno Nevada to save my grandchildren. Well this is so so strange for me and to others . Listen to this.
The state of Oklahoma does not want to give me my own daughter's children. Instead they want to put them in permanent placement, When i relocated from out west. I have no felonies, I am a veteran of the United States Military. I am educated. I love my only grandchildren. They are the world to me. I don't know what to do with out them. This has been a very long ride for me. I will not stop until my grandchildren are back home with me.

Oklahoma has refused me my foster care licence because as they have stated to me that i had a fraud back in 1982, nearly 30 years ago. So based on that they denied my foster care license. In '82 I was only 18 years old at the time.
It is just puzzling me, what does that have to do with me raising, loving, and nurturing my grandchildren? It's wrong. So wrong in deed.
I'm so discourage and mad at the system til i don't know what to do.

I just know that i can't stop fighting for my daughter's children. This is not right.
The Oklahoma DHS Foster Care System is most definintly not working with me. They have denied me my icpc twice and for their reasons, there's no merit.
My grandchildren are my world. I will not leave them or forsake them.
Foster care is all about reunification, it's about family well i am here and yet the system isn't allowing me to be and take on the responsibility that i am well a ware of and capable of doing. I am not asking for any money from the system and agency, I just want my grandchildren out of the system. I am not going no where. I want my grandchildren.

They the oklahoma dhs fostercare system needs an overhaul. I 've been threatened with contempt of court if i should go back on the news. I'm trying to get my word out about what's going on with this situation. I am not going to lose my grandsons.. They have no right to keep my grandsons.

I am a great grandmother. I am a wonderful mother. I am here for the support of my only daughter, who most definently needs her mother's help. Unfortunatly the state of oklahoma don't want me to intervene and help my grown child.

The story with my daughter, she's a young and beautiful young lady she just got off track and she has a mother that has and will travel the distance at any length to help her child. I am here. I am here, this is not my home. My home is on the West Coast (pacific standard time zone). My only reason for being here in the State of Oklahoma is because of my daughter and her only children.

I'm fighting real hard for my only family. My grandchildren are counting on their grandma. They know that i am here. I am going to stay here till i get them back in my loving arms.

The Oklahoma Dhs is putting high demands and requirements on my daughter in order for her to get her children back. Well first of all my daughter is in need of help, what i mean is that she just recently has been released from prison and she has for the first time around at least 6 felonies it might be 7 felonies i'm not exactly sure. But the fact of the matter is that Oklahoma Dhs want's her to get a job, get a place to live!!!! It's hard!!!! That's alot for one person to do when you are alone.
That's where i come in at. But they, Oklahoma Dhs said that she couldn't live with me that i am just going to bail her out. I'm trying to do everything that i can to get my grandchildren out of the system.

My grandsons has been in the system for now over a good three(3) YEARS. I'm sick of this. March 02, 2006, my life changed for ever. I am fighting. I need help?
I can't believe this is happening to me. This is just so surreal. This is a nightmare.
My grandchildren deserves to be with their family. I am here for them.

We went to court on Monday July 20th at 1:30pm with Judge Richard Kirby, they act like i wasn't even present. Today was pre-trial.
The next court date is scheduled for Monday September 14th, 2009 , That is for jury trial. They are planning to take my daughter's custody away from her. But i am here and yet they act like i don't even exist. My grandchildren are my vorld. I am not going anywhere. My grandchildren are coming home. I refused to let these people who are trying to play god, take my grandsons and placed them elsewhere as if i am not here.

I love my grandchildren. It's been 3 years to long since they been in the system.
My grandchildren deserves to be home with me.
I don't need nothing that the state has to offer. I get enough money to raise my grandsons without the taxpayers money.

Oklahoma you will not keep my grandchildren. You'll not get away with this.
SO HELP ME GOD.
