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.
