GRANDMOTHER DENIED

My name is Farina Thompson

I'm disturbed at the reason why Oklahoma DHS has denied me my grandchildren! Believe it or not! They are denying me my grandchildren because of a case dating back to 1983 out of California. Nearly 30 years ago. It was a food stamp case. I mean this is totally ridiculous! I'm talking about getting my precious grandsons out of the Foster Care System. All this state can say to me is that "We are not recommending you for either temporary or permanent placement. Although we do know that you do love your grandchildren". What kind of mess is that?

Mind you this all took place before I was sworn in the United States Army! I will go on to say that, the State of Oklahoma continues to say that I have a Felony. That's incorrect! Certainly not true!

I'm their maternal and biological grandmother. I love these children. How can they get away with this corruption? They are destroying children and families. This isn't right what so ever.

I have proof that I don't have any felonies! They will not check my military back ground or whatever else they need to check. I done all my background checks. Received them all from the FBI Divisions -- Record Check out of Clarksburg WV.

Another thing! Oklahoma DHS was going to return the children to their mother whom she had recently had been released from Oklahoma State Prison in November 2008. But! DHS didn't give her enough time to get herself together. So instead of that, the mother to the children, she asked if she could come back home to her mother, where she could get some help. The Oklahoma family court Denied her the request. At that time she became overwhelmed and over the next several court date leading up to 9-15-2009, She relinquished her parental rights to her children.

Not only that! The father to my youngest grandson who is now out of DHS and has been for the last 4 years or more, now. I'm thankful for that! However my Son-N-Law, he is a felon out of California himself. He spent over 13 years in prison! He is on Welfare, Food stamps, and on Section 8 housing! So what's going on here in the State of Oklahoma?

I am aware that Parents get their children back no matter what? But when there is no parents to fight for the child or children, What then? I would like to know that! Because this is what I am facing here.. My grandchildren has been in the foster care system since March 2 2006. Some 5 years - 9 months - 4 days. They still remain in the foster care system. This is crazy!

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Oklahoma has no grandparents rights? I hear different sides to that issue? This is a very huge problem! We grandparents! Need our rights to our grandchildren because, the states are taking these babies and doing whatever they feel and want to. Delaying the process to reunite the children with their families.

In the case of my grandsons, that's exactly what's going on. Nothing bu wasting the tax payers money continuing this case in court! As well as continuing to house my grandchildren in the foster care system, going from placement to placement and from group home to group home. Mind you none of my 5 grandsons are in the same placement. They all are separated.

I don't know how often, my grandsons see their siblings. It's important for the children to stay in contact with their siblings. They need to see each other. Anyway here in the state of Oklahoma to put it plainly! It is just backwards.

So I continue to be denied--I'm denied because of a 1983 food stamp case. That Oklahoma states that it is a felony. That is incorrect. I have it on paper stating it.

My grandchildren are suffering in the foster care system away from their maternal and biological grandmother and the rest of their family members. Which I moved from Nevada. All I have gotten was, Denied, Denied, Denied! It's so emotionally draining, because I want my grandsons, to get them out of the system. Yet! DHS refuses and continually denies me.

I've been treated unjustly and they, the Judge and the Oklahoma DHS, they all are aware of their wrong doing on this case of my grandchildren. Plenty of corruption and dirt, for sure!

My past nearly 30 years ago, before any of my grandchildren were even thought of and born, Shouldn't be held against me. For certain it's not a felony! Because of this! The state of Oklahoma are keeping my grandsons away from me and in the states foster care system.

My grandsons has been alienated and isolated from me. I haven't seen them since 2.16.2010. Haven't even heard their voices. Haven't hugged them. I want to see their smiles, their faces. My grandchildren, I love them I want to see them. This here chapter in our lives has truly affected us. We will never ever be the same again. Yet! We are not giving up hope! My grandsons! They are not forgotten. No! They are not.

The case- MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER

CASE# JD-06-180

Judge- Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby

ADA - Jane Brown

Supv DHS- Tara Bone

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

County of Oklahoma

Foster care isn't no place for children. Not at all. As long as their are family who are willing to take the child in. I see no reason for the government to make money off families hard times. Families first, Reunify and mend the broken homes. Not give the child away to strangers for adoptions. That's not right!

Oklahoma DHS are wrong for what they have and are doing to me and my grandsons! The judge has allowed all of this to happen. It's an injustice! The system has failed my grandchildren and my family.

5 years - 9 months -4 days!!!! That's a mighty long time to be away from your family and love-ones. Since March 2 2006.

Please pray for me and my grandchildren, as we are going through a most difficult times in our lives. Please pray for us. Thank You and God Bless you and Yours.

Appreciated!

"My Grandchildren, I Love You"

Friday Nov 18 2011

My grandchildren : Melvin Benjamin, Michael Walker, Mizael Walker, Teriq May, and Eric Davis, they were taken by the state of Oklahoma, Dept of Human Services/ foster care unit on March 2 of 2006.

CASE # JD-06-180

CASE NAME:

MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER

JUDGE:

ASSOCIATE DISTRICT JUDGE

RICHARD W KIRBY

MOTHER OF CHILDREN:

JAMIRA N MAY - MCCOY

This is a case that has been in process since 2006. There hasn't been no progress in the direction that it should have went! My grandchildren have been juggle going from placement to placement during these last 5 years and 8 months and counting! Since they still are in the system bouncing around.

I have no visitation with them! Oklahoma has done me and my grandbabies wrong!

I haven't seen my grandchildren since 2-16-2010. I haven't heard their voices, nor able to give them a hug. DHS and the system including the judge will not let my grandsons respond to any of my letters.

My grandchildren, my precious and adorable grandsons. "How I love and miss you so very much"

Melvin, Michael, Mizael, Teriq and Eric, you all are more precious to me than ever, from the day that you children were born. I love you my grandsons. Please! Don't let any of the people tell you different. You all are loved, wanted and missed. You are not forgotten! Grandma loves you and I say a prayer for our family each and every day.

It saddens me, my grandsons that we live in such an injustice world. I am here for you all no matter however long it will take. But! just know that your grandmother has not given up on you children. It's 5 of you that are floating around in the Oklahoma Foster Care System.

Grandma has been to the Oklahoma States Capitol on several occasions, asking for help and to no avail no one has looked into the DHS matter for us. I will not give up on us. I love you boys. I have filed complaints with more than one office of the Office of Civil Rights. Grandma will continue to be here for you all.

My grandchildren, I am able, willing and financially able to care and provide for you boys. I have a big enough house for all of us. We have always been a family. Though we are in separate houses and apart. I will always have you all in my heart. I love you.

The State Of Oklahoma DHS Foster Care Unit. They have not processed this case properly. It is supposed to be about the children and reuniting the children with family. Unfortunately they have not worked that for us. I am continuing to have faith and prayer for our family. That we will be a family and be reunited as a family so that we can rebuild our lives and move on.

Grandma loves you all with every ounce of blood that's flowing through my veins, in my body. My grandsons I feel your pain and I know what you are going through. I send my love, hugs and kisses. You do have family, love-ones, and relatives that care and love you. My babies, you can believe that my life will never ever be the same without you. Grandma's life is empty because you are not home.

Grandma's life is empty! There's a void that can only be filled when you boys, my precious grandchildren, are back home and out of that awful foster care system. I love you with every breath that I take.

My grandchildren, How I miss you all so very much! I wish that I could take the pain away & wipe those many tears off your face, that you all are feeling, because these folks who are abusing their authority, and has kept you children away from you family. Grandma loves you and I will not give up HOPE!

My grandchildren, you are loved, wanted and missed! More than I can express in words! I love you so much! You are not forgotten! Believe me and know that your grandma, loves you dearly! You all are not forgotten! Grandma loves you.

No matter what my grandchildren!

I Farina Thompson, will always and forever be your Grandmother! Remember I love you!

Hugs and Kisses my dear grandsons!

Love Always your Grandmother

MY PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN: GRANDMA LOVES YOU AND YOU ALL ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

To my grandchildren: My grandbabies Melvin, Michael, Mizael, Teriq and Eric. Grandma is still here. My precious and adorable grandchildren, Grandma loves you and misses you so very much.

Grandma looks at your pictures as I have them all over the house. I just stare and gazed at you alls photos. I cry so much. I love you all. It pains me that we are separated and not together.

Hey grandma boys, I want you all to know that. The reason why Grandma hasn't seen you all and you all are not back home yet. Is Simply because of the Judge Richard W Kirby and the Oklahoma DHS- Tara Bone and DHS - Asst DA Jane Brown -- Asst PD Ryan Hauser.

Grandma hopes that you all are receiving your letters. I continue to write you all as that's my only contact, my only bonding with you. My precious grandsons you all means so much to me. It's not a day or night that past, that I don't worry about all of you.

I want to be there for you all and I am not giving up on you all. It's the State of Oklahoma, their family court and the Oklahoma DHS, that's keeping you all in foster care & away from me.

Honey, Grandma has a 3 bedroom, 2 baths, 2 car garage home that's over 2,000 square feet. I have everything ready for all of you. Your rooms are ready and has been for the longest. I love you all dearly and you boys aren't forgotten. You have a family.

Grandma have been here in Oklahoma fighting for you all. I will not stop my journey to get you boys back home. Grandma has been treated very bad from these people who are determined to keep us apart.

Grandma loves you boys very much and Your Grandma hasn't left you in foster care. All of you are wanted. I wish I could hug you all and take this pain away. I know that you all have been through so much being in foster care.

Grandma Loves YOU and will always Forever and Ever. Until we are back together again. I send my LOVE, HUGS AND KISSES.

GRANDMA LOVES YOU ALL VERY MUCH, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABIES.

YOU MY GRANDSONS, YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!!!

Sincerely,

Farina Maria Thompson

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN -OKLAHOMA FAMILY COURT ASSOCIATE DISTRICT JUDGE RICHARD W KIRBY

I thought that Judges are there to help the community out. Do their job and work to make things right. JUSTICE! JUSTICE! AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

Its very sad when the judges fail the ones that depend on them to make it all better. I'm speaking in regards to children that are in the Oklahoma Foster Care System. Specifically my precious 5 grandsons. They have been in there since 3-2-2006. 5 years and 5 months.

This Judge that's over my grand children's case has allowed the others involved with this case to come before him and do what they want.

I'm curious to know how is that applied to any legal policy, when it comes to returning the children back to their family. I am the maternal and biological grandmother, that's been fighting for the longest to get my grandsons out of the system for quite sometime now.

Everyone included on my grandchildren case has objected to returning my grandsons to me. The mother she isn't nowhere included in the case any longer since she was coerced into signing over her parental rights in 2009 on 9-15.

The judge has denied me any visitation with my grandsons, he has denied my out of state guardianship, he has denied the writ of haebus corpus, he has denied the request for a home study so that I can't adopt my grandchildren. Judge Richard W Kirby has denied my adoption petition so that i can adopt my grandchildren.

Judge has made sure that I don't have any contact with my grandchildren. He has most definitely hurt my grandchildren emotionally just scarring them. My grandsons has been in the system for to long, they have been exposed to more than children should have to be. They are only children.

I'm their biological and maternal grandmother, that has a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, home that's over 2,000 square feet. My home is adequate and established and furnished. My grandchildren they have a home to come too.

My grandchildren are loved, wanted, and missed. I moved here from Reno Nevada. Being a grandmother is a beautiful and wonderful experience. NO matter the trails and tribulations, I am a grandmother and I will not stop my journey to expose the dirt that's going on here in the state of Oklahoma Foster Care. How the children are being alienated, medicated, damaged and traumatized. This is real! My grandchildren are going through it every day.

The Judge-- Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby, he continues to allow this behavior to exist in his court room. He let those CPS workers bring forth cases for him to listen to. Where he let it ride meaning drag the cases out over the course of many years. Just like he has done, well doing to my grandsons. This case has been going on since 2006.

Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby, he is the 2ND judge to reign over my grandsons case.

I'm in shock at the corruption. Oh! its too much. It goes deep. It has deep pockets and everyone has their hand in it. This DHS /FAMILY COURT CORRUPTION IS BIG! BIG BUSINESS.

This is unreal as to how something like this actually hits home. I mean this is something that you would see on lifetime television. This is just not right at all. A movie like this would have you on the edge of your seat! IN TEARS!

Judge Richard W Kirby, Asst D A Jane Brown, Asst P D Ryan Hauser, DHS TARA BONE, DHS Howard Hendrick, they all are apart of the devious vengeance towards me. They have been unprofessional in handling of my grandchildren case. They do need to be investigated.

My grandchildren are suffering because of this. They don't need to be or for that matter should be. I have enough space at my home. These people and the state of Oklahoma DHS has denied me all across the board. They continue to act without INTEGRITY, FAILURE TO FOLLOW POLICY, they CONTINUE TO INFLICT EMOTIONAL HARM ON MY PRECIOUS 5 GRANDSONS.

My grandchildren they are continuously being shuffled, shifted and moved around in the Oklahoma Foster Care System as if they were pawns on a chest board. That truly an awful thing for my grandsons to have to go through. My grandsons case is just one case. Can you imagine the so many thousands and thousands of children in the system just floating and floating never being stable. That's a horror experience.

The children self-esteem is definitely damage. I worry about my grandchildren and their self image and how they will be once they are out of foster care. This is not right how the courts and the case workers work hard to keep the children in the foster care system and out of the homes.

When they should be working with those families that can and are able and willing to take the children. Yet! They will not work with them. For me that's exactly what has happened to me.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND OUR CHILDREN ARE SUFFERING AND BEING TRAUMATIZED ON A DAILY BASIS, BECAUSE OF JUDGES LIKE ASSOCIATE DISTRICT JUDGE RICHARD W KIRBY, THAT'S ON THE CASE OF- MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER; CASE # JD-06-180; that's in the State of Oklahoma, City of Oklahoma City, and the county of Oklahoma.

Please pray for me and my precious grandchildren as we are going through a very difficult time in our lives these days and has been since 3-2-2006. Please pray on their safe return to be released out of the Oklahoma Foster Care System.

I am their maternal and biological grandmother. I love my grandsons very much. With every ounce of blood that's flowing through my veins. I'm hurting and suffering just as they are. my precious grandsons.

Your prayers are welcomed and appreciated. God Bless You and Yours.

Thank You

A grieving grandmother that has faith

CHILDREN IN THE OKLAHOMA DHS FOSTER CARE SYSTEM

SUNDAY JUNE 26 2011

FOSTER CARE IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA

I'm disgusted at the judicial system as well as the Oklahoma foster care system. I truly am amazed at how the very system that we entrust to be righteous and follow. To render a fair and just decision. Justice is the very one that has deliberately intercepted and inflicted more pain than ever on my grandchildren.

The reason I am saying this is because: I would have never thought it would take this long, 5 long emotional and stressful years to get my grandchildren out of the Oklahoma foster care system. This has been a HORRIBLE experience. They are not home yet! My grandchildren are being shuffled around in the system shipped from place to place.

Judge Richard W Kirby finds that to be acceptable.

My grandchildren hasn't heard my voice in over one year-- 2-16-2010. Nor have we had a visit since that date as well.

There is no Justice! Children in this country are suffering at the hands of Judges, that act the same as the presiding judge over my grandsons case.

Tara Bone, the initial case worker, she implemented, instructed the direction of the case and this is the reason why for starters that my grandsons are still in foster care, along with the Assistant D.A Jane Brown, Public Defender Ryan Hauser. In addition to the reigning judge himself. That would be Judge Richard W Kirby.

Children in foster care continue to suffer all day, every day, when not being able to go home to loving family members that love and want them.

When those people, who have those positions, in life that can make a difference in your life, your children's life, but choose to ignore it. They keep your children, grandchildren in hiding, and won't allow visitation. Where is the justice for our children and families!

The pain and suffering needs to stop! These people needs to be held accountable for their actions.

Stop these individuals, these creatures. They have been doing this so long, til it is just natural to them. They don't care about the children!

They make their pay check and go home at the end of the day. Hugging their children and grandchildren. I mean! My God! No feeling! No heart! Cruel and Heartless! I call these people one of the worst kind that walk this earth.

Foster Care is a problem, a very big, and of course you know, It's big business and Money follows.

Pray for all the little children in foster care.

I leave with you Please pray for me and my grandchildren.

Thank You and God Bless.

Strengthen Not Destroy

The American Family

How can we as American Families, be safe in our own homes, when soon as the social services agencies, and there is so many that has the same purpose in mind, but have different names that they go by. They can take our children and cause us to go through such hell to get our children returned. Not only that our babies are subjected to who knows what in the system

The system should be strengthening and helping the families instead of doing just the opposite that being destroying the American Families.

When the children are taken into foster care. The government agency should be working to get those children back to their families. It shouldn't be allowed to continue to drag out the case. Like in my grandchildren's case. Their case has had 2 Judges and It has been strung out for 5 years and while that has been going on. My grandchildren hasn't had any regular visitation with the family. Just awful. We have been treated terrible an injustice. My grandchildren and our family has sufferred tremendously.

Strengthen and Not Destroy our families. That's what it should be. We are the American Families. We live on the same American Soil.

From a grieving grandmother that feels the pain of being without her babies. Because of the malicious and devious acts that's been allowed and approved for these individuals who don't care about our children, just get away with it.

The system is really corrupted! They are destroying the American Families verse Helping and Strengthening our Families that need the help.

Our Chldren Needs To See and Visit Us

Our children, they need to see us. They are in foster care and do need to know that we are here for them. They need our hugs and should be allowed to be in contact with the family.

It's not right for the state to alienate our babies from us. We are their love-ones and family members.

My grandbabies has been out of our home for quite sometime now, since 2006. I've been on a journey to get my grandchildren returned and reunited with the family for the past 5 years.

It has been an emotional 5 years and not been allowed to be included in my grandchildrens lives is exceptional cruel and i call it a malicious and devious act.

I am here for my grandchildren. They are loved, wanted and missed. They have a home. They were and are not abandoned. For the state to continue to keep me and my grandchildren apart is unethical. It's a total conspiracy and a personal vendetta against me and my family.

My grandchildren they knows me, I've always been in their lives from day one of thier birth.

My grandchildren hasn't had regular visits since they have been in foster care. No phone communication, nothing. That's alot for a child do have to deal with when they are out of the home and not with their family.

Children needs to see their love-ones. It's damaging and emotional when they are alienated from their family. Our babies need to hear our voices.

To all those persons that's in the same, similar situation that i am enduring, You must contact your state officials and inform them of your current situation and let them beaware of it. Tell the whole world what they have done to you and your famly. Get connected and be informed of all your Rights that you have.

From a grieving grandmother that's determined and dedicated to her family.

I wish everyone well on their journey for justice for their family.

CASE# JD-2006-180

I'm still fighting for my grandchildren. They are still in the system and placed all over in the state of Oklahoma. To this day I've no communication or visitation with my grandsons. I've not been given an Ok, to have regular visits or talk on the phone or even allowed to know where they are placed.
This is going on the 4Th year that my grandsons have been in OKDHS custody and they are definitely trying to adopt my grandchildren out to strangers.

This is just so outrageous, i don't understand this at all. Totally inconceivable to anyone unless you are dealing with this yourself.

I've been treated like garbage, with no respect, I'm these kids grandmother, who has moved and relocated from Reno Nevada to Oklahoma to fight for my babies. I'm not asking no one for anything at all. I just want my grandsons back home where they belong.

I have no felonies, nor have i ever been to prison. I just don't understand how they are (the OKDHS) are practicing, how they can just take peoples children and adopt them out and go on about their business as if nothing has ever taken place.

OKDHS and all who are involved are pure evil , cruel and plain devious.
I've been through so much with this state fighting for my grandsons, I'm not going anywhere until my grandchildren are back home in my care and custody. I'm a loving grandmother, I'm here for my boys, God has blessed me with for i am their grandmother, and they are my grandsons. I am here to stay for them for as long as it takes, we will be walking hand in hand together. I've done nothing wrong for these people of this state agency to keep me and my grandsons apart such as they have. I refused to let go and give in to this madness. No way. The next court Date is set for January 19Th, 2010 with Judge Richard W. Kirby
On this day in court- Motions for visitation, and Motions to intervene they both will be heard. Also on that day as well- The Adoption Petition was to be considered, however the Judge because of the OKDHS DA Jane Brown has now said that the children are not adoptable. So Judge Kirby has put the Adoption Petition on hold. (that's crazy and insane)
So the next court date is January 19Th, 2010 @ 9am

PS. Please continue to pray for me and my grandchildren
