Associate Judge Richard W Kirby

I thought judges were to do the right thing! On the contrary this man who wears a Black Robe! That sits on the bench in the State of Oklahoma, In the county of Oklahoma. That heads the Oklahoma County Juvenile Justice Center.
I am so disgusted and frustrated at how this man runs his court! How he let Oklahoma DHS run him in his own courtroom.
Judge Richard Kirby! He knows deep down in his heart that my grandchildren should be with me.
He knows everything that I done to get my grandsons out of the foster care system. If he doesn't know of it, then that's only because he don't care about doing the right thing and that is to hurry and get the children out of the foster care system and with family.
This judged denied me my grandchildren. He refused to order Oklahoma DHS to give me a Home - study of my Oklahoma residence which I would pass and get my grandchildren out of the system.
This man definitely is bias and prejudice. He doesn't need to be in a position to help people if he isn't going to do just that. He works in the children's department/ family court.
Judge Kirby has failed my grandchildren.
Just recently, which I wrote and asked him to send me my grandsons sizes so that I could send my grandsons some packages of clothing and a few other items. This man will not give me anything.
This is the person that kicked me out of court at the request of Oklahoma DHS on 2.8.2011, because I wasn't present, which I wasn't informed of the court date change. My knowledge was the date was 2.9.2011. There is no way that I would of missed a court date that was so important to me and my grandchildren.
This judge will not let me have visitation with my grandsons. I haven't seen my grandchildren since 2.16.2010. This is cruel! Just Sickening. This is awful.
The judge granted the request of Oklahoma DHS. That is no way right!
The case of MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER, case # JD-06-180.
Foster care is no place for children!
Please pray for me and my grandchildren. Thank You and God Bless You and Yours.

Farina M Thompson

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!

"Family! It's About Family"

Hi my name is Farina Thompson.
I am the maternal and biological grandmother to 5 wonderful and adorable young boys that are in the Oklahoma Foster Care System. To date is has been 5 years-9months-4days that my grandsons were taken by Oklahoma DHS. On March 2 2006. A truly emotional time for my family.
The last time that i had a visit with my grandsons were on 2.16.2010. I have not heard their voices or seen their faces or even talked to them on the phone. My grandsons have been alienated and isolated from me. From Day one we have not had regular visits. As I understand that as long as children are in foster care, that they are to have continuous contact with their family, love ones and relatives. My life and the lives of my precious grandsons has been interrupted and shattered by the State of Oklahoma! Oklahoma Department of Human Services/Foster Care Division.
Family, It's about family! Everywhere you turn, It's Family!
That was my idea of what any foster care agency/organization was all about. Or so I thought! Anyway! Here in Oklahoma it's totally disturbing to me at how this state process their child welfare cases. It's sad, emotional and truly frustrating! It's not right or justice at all. I haven't seen nothing like it in my life! This state has denied me everything that I've brought forward, that's Oklahoma DHS and the Oklahoma Family Court System. It's supposed to be about the children! Taking care of the children and making sure that they are being reunited with their biological family and loveones as soon as possible. To make sure that they suffer a minimum of separation from their home and family.
It's about FAMILY! Strengthening the American Families is the Key! Family is foundation!
The case with my grandsons. That is not what happenned. My grandsons are still in the Oklahoma foster care system. They are floating from one placement to the next. All the while the state has my grandchildren alienated and isolated from me. No phone calls, not anything at all, with the exception of letter writing. That's my only communication and bonding with my grandsons.
I have traveled the distance, moved to Oklahoma from Nevada. I brought forth my guardianship, which was denied, as well as all the following, Foster/Adopt training classes certificates from Nevada, Petition to Adopt my grandchildren, Foster Parenting classes in Oklahoma were denied. Some one from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services called the Bair Foundation where i was preparing to get certified in order to get my grandchildren out of foster care, A telephone call was made to put a stop to that from Oklahoma DHS Headquarters.
It's about family and doing the right thing! Right! Well I have done that. From the Judge on down to the Oklahoma Dept of Human Services has denied me the right to my grandchildren. I am a responsible, reliable, independent, mature grown adult. I am a registered voter. "Felons can't vote", I am not a felon. I have never been to prison. I am ex - military. I quarter mastered in the Army. My MOS was 76v10.There is nothing wrong with my financial Status, I have a decent & study income. I have a vehicle that's bought and paid for. I have a washer and dryer. I have a phone. I have a refrigerator full of food. All of my bills are in my name. I have a checking account and savings account. I have insurance. I have the children's rooms all together. I have enough beds for all of my grandsons. I have everything that I need for my grandbabies. My grandsons, they need family. I have a nice and wonderful 3 bedroom + 2 bath + 2 car garage home it's over 2,000 square feet. I have more than enough space for my precious grandsons. It's about Family!
I don't need not one cent to beable to provide for my grandchildren.
Children in foster care shouldn't have to go through what my grandsons are having to endure with. It's just wrong! It's an injustice to us. What they are doing to my precious grandsons and our family. We have already lost so much, that we will never beable to get back. Look at all the years that the state has taken away from me and my grandsons. Over 5 years and 9 monts nearly 6 years. That's cruel! Look what it has done to my children? I'm concerned about their self-esteem, their emotions, their inner self, what they must be thinking of themselves. My grandchildren being in foster care all this time for the past 5 years and 9 months! My grandsons who knows what they could be thinking? Or what they are being told for instance? Thinking they are not wanted, not loved, that they are thrown away! Thinking they have no family that wants them. That's awful for a child having to think of that being very young and in foster care placement. No child! Should have to suffer like this. My grandchildren are doing just that!
My grandchildren have family! They are not Forgotten! No! They aren't! I will never forget them as long as I am alive! They are my family! I will continue my fight for justice. This case with my grandsons, will not die! I will not let it be just another case or a statistic. It will not be swept under the rug!
Family? The system is broken! Definitely needs to be fixed. Family Court is a major part of this. This is the State of Oklahoma. My God! It's totally backwards here in this part of the country. Family, the children they need their family, my precious grandsons, they need their family, they need to be home. I want to hug my grandchildren! They are everything to me! They are my life! So precious to me!
I will continue to expose the wrong doings that are going on here in the state of Oklahoma, As long as this state continue to house my grandsons and keep them away from me. It's don't make any sense for the actions of this state to alienate and isolated my grandsons from me. I'm their blood family, their maternal and biological grandmother.
Oklahoma DHS refuses to work with me to return, reunite my grandsons back with our family. My grandsons deserves to be back with their family. Not to be moving around in the foster care system, going from placement to placement. That's surely not in the best interest of the child! We are family! Isn't it about family? Being there and helping family?
My grandchildren, they haven't seen me since 2.16.2010. That's cruel!
Just very recently, I have written the Judge and requested my grandchildren's clothes and shoe sizes to be able to send them some items, being purchased from me. They would know that
I am still here, as well as the letters that I send to them. Any way the judge as well as the DHS worker will not give me my grandsons sizes so I can go shopping for them.
Also not anyone will communicate with me to inform me of what's going on with my grandchildren. They are truly trying to keep my grandchildren from remembering me. This is very strange behavior coming from "So call professionals" It's not adequate giving the situation at hand. It's about the children and their family being reunited and getting out of the foster care system.
This is the case of the MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER,
case# JD-06-180, out of the State of Oklahoma and the County of Oklahoma. The Judge over the case would be: Judge Richard W Kirby. The Assistant D.A. would be Jane Brown. DHS Director would be: Howard Hendrick and the DHS Supervisor would be: Tara Bone, By the way,was the initial case worker in 2006. She has played a big part in the case for it lasting for nearly 6 years. Oh yes! She has!
It's about Family and NOT the Foster Care System housing our children and keeping them alienated and isolated, from their loving and biological family that wants them.
Please pray for me and my grandchildren! Thank you & God Bless You and Yours.

Foster Care Is No Place For Children

Friday Nov 18 2011
FOSTER CARE IS NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN!!
Family First! Don't Keep The Children In The System! 5 Years & 8 Months & Counting-- That's Damaging !!!!
The foster care system and the family court system is broken! NO doubt about it!
From the experience of what i have been subjected to in the State of Oklahoma. It is on evident that those individuals that have somewhat of authority over folks children, have truly over stepped their moral boundaries and appears to don't have a heart at all.
Children in foster care should go and be with family vs being adopted out to strangers. That's very wrong and certainly not fair to the family and children. Not only that! We don't get visitation to be in contact? What's wrong with that picture?
Oklahoma DHS, has no right to try and play GOD! Children should not have to suffer and go through all of this pain and suffering, frustration and alienation and isolation, Such as my 5 grandsons are continuing to endure.
I'm these children maternal and biological grandmother! I was at the hospital when each and everyone of these children were born. I love my grandchildren very much. My grandchildren, doesn't need to be experiencing this, especially when they have a grandmother that wants them.
Oklahoma Department of Human Services/ Foster Care Unit! No good! They are wrong!
Look how they have trampled over me and my grand children's heart! Which they will tell you in so many words, that they aren't in the business of reuniting your children or love-ones to you in a timely manner, if at all!
I'm no felon, never been to prison, a registered voter, family oriented, independent and financially established to provide and take care of and nurture my 5 grandsons!
So Why is this state like this? I've complained and complained! NO one seems to care! It's about safely getting the children to a family member and or love one where the children can get back on track. Instead! OKDHS has caused more problems for my grandsons. They have prolonged this for many years? What about my grandchildren, their self-esteem and motivation? I worry about that on a continuous basis! What they must be feeling and going through.
Children, they should not be in foster care no longer than they need to or have to be! I mean it is devastating and emotional for the children! My grandchildren are going through it!
I've letters on top of letters that the organization, has plans to seek permanent placement for my grandchildren and that they don't plan on giving me my grandsons! Isn't that something? What does that tell you?
From all of that! How can it be about the children? 5 years and 8 months and counting for my precious grandchildren to be in this awful foster care system.
It's not right! Not right at all! Something definitely needs to be done about this!
At this rate our country will have no future! Foster care are destroying the tomorrows future. Our family, love-ones and relatives.
Our children needs love, hugs, positiveness and high self-esteem! Not anything less! Being in Foster Care is LESS!
I'm a concerned grandmother that has suffered the lost of my precious grandchildren to the system. We have lost many holidays, family gatherings, grand parental bonding, school activities and our family pictures together. We will never get those days back. Don't forget our quality time and summer fun, the things that grandparents have with their grandchildren.
I am just letting the world know what's going on here in this state of Oklahoma. How Oklahoma DHS/foster care agency handles their cases and how they isolate and alienate the children from their family and love-ones.
This has been an injustice and corruption all the way around! No matter how you sum is up!
Please pray for me and my grandsons as we are going through a most difficult time in our lives right now. Your prayers are appreciated: God Bless You and Yours!
Thank You for taking the time to read my posts!

"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

GRANDMOTHER TO CHILDREN OF CASE# JD-06-180

CASE- MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER
DATE CHILDREN TAKEN- 3-2-2006
CASE# JD-06-180
MOTHER - JAMIRA NICCOLE MAY- MCCOY
GRANDMOTHER - FARINA THOMPSON
If it's truly about the children and in the best interest of the children. Then why in the world are the children still in the foster care system, floating around like bottle caps in the water? That's just wrong? There is nothing right about this at all. This isn't justice. By no means can anyone say this is justifiable. Oh!no.
My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed. They are not forgotten. They are precious.
I am the children's biological and maternal grandmother. I have everything available to them and for them to be able to come home.
Yet because of the Judge. By the name of Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby he and the other folks by the names of Tara bone Of DHS, Howard Hendrick Of DHS, Asst D A Jane Brown and Asst P D Ryan Hauser, they have fought me every step of the way to keep me from having my grandchildren.
I will not stop fighting for my grandchildren. They know that they are loved. My only contact with them are through letters. That's my only bonding. I am not even sure if my grandchildren are receiving their letters that I send them.
Foster care isn't no place for children at all. My grandchildren are alienated, medicated, damaged and traumatized. That's not in the best interest of the children. That's cruel and corruption. No doubt about it.
Isn't it about family and foundation. Strengthening the families through assistance and help? Not take and destroy the families! Please What's This World Coming To? It's WRONG!
Please pray for the safe return of my grandchildren. For we are having the most difficult times in our lives do to these corrupted individuals that are in power by their positions.
Thank You and God Bless You and Yours

THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED MY GRANDCHILDREN

The system has failed my grandchildren. It's not right for the state to continue to house them, from letting them remain in the states foster care when they have a loving grandmother that loves and want them.
The parties involved know that the children's mother, she relinquished her parental rights on 9.15.2009. DHS IS CORRUPTEE AND THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN! SHUT DOWN!
I have been treated unfair. An injustice has taken place. Those involved are The Associate District Judge Richard W kirby. DHS Tara Bone. DHS Howard Hendrick. Asst DA Jane Brown. Asst PD Ryan Hauser.
IT'S ABOUT THE CHILDREN? OR IS IT? It's seems all to well that the only focus is on collecting money off the children that they adopt out. Foster Care isn't no place for children at all.
My grandsons, I have 5 that's in foster care. They are being alienated from me. My only contact with my grandchildren are through letters. I'm not even sure if they are receiving any of the letters that I send them.
CASE# JD-06-180
CASE NAME- MAY, DAVIS, BENJAMIN, WALKER
DATE TAKEN - March 2 2006
MOTHER- JAMIRA NICCOLE MAY-MCCOY
GRANDMOTHER- FARINA THOMPSON
I don't need one red cent to be able to raise and take care of my grandchildren. It's all out of love. I don't need no taxpayers hard earned money to finance my means to provide for my grandchildren.
The Judge along with the rest of the parties involved with my grand children's case has let their personal feelings get involved with handling the case. They are prejudice and bias towards me.
This have hurt my grandsons tremendously. They are suffering from remaining in the system, being moved around floating going from placement to placement while being alienated from their family and love-ones. That's not in the best interest of the children.
The actions from these living and breathing human beings, whom they call themselves doing what's right are nothing but of EVIL AND CORRUPT. They aren't being successful in reuniting the families. They have and continue to destroy children and families lives and COLLECT A PROFIT while doing so.
Judge Richard Kirby and DHS Tara Bone, Asst DA Jane Brown and Asst PD Ryan Hauser has denied me everything that I've brought forth in order to have my grandchildren released from the Oklahoma Foster Care System.
It doesn't make a bit of sense to do this, their actions are un caused for. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG!
The Judge he has denied, MY HABEUS CORPUS. OUT OF STATE GUARDIANSHIP. REQUEST TO ORDER DHS DO A HOME STUDY OF MY HOME. PETITION FOR ADOPTION. DENIED HOME STUDY SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET MY GRANDCHILDREN.
He has alienated my grandchildren. They do not have any contact with me. I'm their maternal and biological grandmother. I relocated from Reno Nevada to Oklahoma City OK in 2008.
My grandchildren are my heart. They mean the world to me. As long as I have breath in me and I am able to breathe I will not stop fighting for my grandchildren.
Oklahoma is corrupt and the dirt that's going on here truly needs to be investigated and shut down. The public officials in authority should follow the law and make sure that everyone has due process and are treated equally without prejudice and or bias.
Foster Care Rules, Regulations and Guidelines need to be carefully examined so as to make sure that all the children can be returned accordingly as they have family members and love ones that are available to take them.
Such as my grandchildren. Here I am with everything that's needed to take my grandsons in and the persons of authority in their positions are being honery and hateful just showing the devils spirit that's in them.
I am a 5 x graduate of Stratford Career Institute. I graduated with HONORS. I love education.
I don't have no felonies. I am an Army Vet. I have a home - a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage home that's over 2,000 square feet. Refrigerator full of food and Deep Freezer full of meat. I love my grandchildren. I want them. I miss them. I am able to take them in and provide for them and raise them. I have the money to provide for my grandchildren. Surely isn't a problem.
My grandchildren they know that I am here in Oklahoma, however Judge Richard W Kirby, DHS Tara Bone, DHS ADA Jane Brown and Asst PD Ryan Hauser, they all has made sure that me and my grandchildren are kept apart. We haven't had any contact since 2-16-2010. That's HORRIBLE! Cruel to my grandchildren. It's emotional and damaging to my grandsons.
With all the dirt that these folks has done to families and children, Truly I wonder how do they sleep at night. I would think they would have nightmares of the corruption that they have done.
These folks position and status goes to their heads. As well as the kickbacks that's undercover that they receive for continuing to keep our children in the foster care system.
In the case with my grandsons, they have ran with it for well over 5 years. To be exact 5 years and 5 months. They are trying to drain me and break me down. But I'm not going anywhere. As long as my grandchildren are in foster care placement. I will do what ever it takes to get them brought up on charges. I will not stop. They have no respect or true family values of concerned for my grandsons, when I am here for them. They should have given me my grandsons.
It's my grandmotherly love to get them exposed. I'm not sleeping at night worrying about my grandchildren what's going on with them. My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed. They have family.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND MY GRANDCHILDREN AS WE ARE BEING VICTIMIZED BY THE SYSTEM. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN SAFE RETURN FROM FOSTER CARE.
Thank You and God Bless You and Yours.

WHAT JUSTICE?

SAT JULY 9 2011
Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby,
Assistant D A Jane Brown,
Assistant P D Ryan Hauser, and
Tara Bone Oklahoma DHS
All these individuals that I've mentioned are the reasons why my grandchildren remains in the Oklahoma Foster Care System, just going from one placement to another and floating about. They have alienated my grandsons from me. We gets no visitation nor any phone calls. I haven't seen my grandchildren in over a year, since 2/16/2010.
They Kirby, Brown,Hauser and Bone have targeted me and definitely abused their power. Because I use my Freedom of Speech. Those mentioned above has used that against me.
They have taken my grandchildren away from me. They are putting me through pure HELL, I just want my grandsons out of the foster care system. My grandsons don't need to be shuffled around and shafted from place to place. My grandsons have a family and a home to come to. My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed.
My grandchildren needs me. To not be include in their lives is devastating for all of us.
The way that I've been treated for wanting my grandchildren out of the states foster care system and putting forth effort to see that they get home. The denials and interference. This is an injustice. There hasn't been any justice for me and my grandsons.
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?
Please pray for me and my grandchildren.
Thank You Very Much and God Bless!

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITY

SAT JULY 9 2011
Oklahoma DHS states that as long as the family has the basic needs met for the family. Meaning the children are being provided for, then the children will be released. Oklahoma Dhs goals are to strengthened the families. Not wreak havoc up on them.
Oklahoma DHS are to help the families and the children! Not keep them in the system for as long as they have like they have done with my grandchilden. I have 5 grandsons that's floating about in the foster care system.
All the Oklahoma DHS TARA BONE, has done was interrupt my placement of my grandchildren with me, the boys maternal and biological grandmother.
The ones that has interfered with my grandchildren return are:
Associate District Judge Richard W Kirby, A.D.A Jane Brown, A.P.D Ryan Hauser, and The Oklahoma DHS Supervisor Tara Bone. They have done me wrong and continue to do vicious and vengeful deeds.
PEOPLE! MY AUDIENCE WHAT'S WRONG HERE? THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE!!!!
As long as the needs of the children are being met and are being provide for then my grandsons shouldn't be in foster care. It's been 5 years and 4 months. I love my grandchildren, and they are not forgotten, they are in my heart, I miss them very much.
I've provided the needs for my grandchildren:
  • Residence
  • Telephone
  • Basics living necessities
  • Working utilities
  • Food and Groceries

  • Bed
  • Clothing
  • Clean and Neat residence, Living quarters
  • Adequate space
  • Financial Security, Stable Income
  • Transportation
  • Loving Home
  • Foster Care Classes
  • I'M A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND LOVING GRANDPARENT

What else is there for one to do in order to get their grandchildren and or love ones out of the foster care system.? I have all that i need to provide for my grandsons, that's been in the states custody since 3/2/2006. I am being the targeted because I am using my Freedom Of Speech and because of that they have denied me my grandchildren: Visitation and Placement of Them! That's wrong! It's an injustice.

FAMILY

SAT JULY 9 2011

My family has been stripped from me. My oldest and first 5 grandsons. My family stripped from me that's enough for anyone to fight hard to do all that one can and needs to do to get them back home. It's been 5 years and 4 months that the state has been fighting to keep my grandchildren in the system and away from me.

It's about family! Yet these folks continue to halt the release of my grandchildren. I'm the children maternal and biological family member. I just want my grandchildren home and out of the foster care system. It should not be a problem, considering that i have everything needed for my grandchildren to be placed with me.

Family, make sure they take care of their own. When one comes forth to do what's right and in Gods eyes. Family is the foundation and it would be for the Oklahoma DHS to place the children with caring and loving relatives that are willing to take in the children and get them out of the foster care system.

Why 5 years and 4 months. Children shouldn't have to remain in the states custody all this time. It's a disgrace.

Family is the key! So why is this corruption going on here in the State of Oklahoma. Why is it being allowed?

Everyone believes in Family! YET! The State continues to deny me my grandchildren and they remain in the system floating and without any contact with me.

FAMILY! FAMILY! OKLAHOMA determined to EX OUT MY FAMILY, DESTROYING OUR FAMILY. My GRANDCHILDREN HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.

PLEASE pray for me and my grandchildren as we are having to go through this most difficult time in our lives.

Thank You and God Bless!


OKLAHOMA DHS

SAT JULY 9 2011
Tara Bone of Oklahoma DHS, has been on my grandchildren case from day one, starting 3/2/2006. Tara Bone has been the catalyst and she has a personal vendetta against me. She has requested that I the children's maternal and biological grandmother never be considered placement for my grandsons.
Tara Bone, she was the initial case worker back in 2006. Since then she's moved up to supervisor. She's done everything she can to keep me from my grandchildren.
Oklahoma DHS is a mad house and needs to be cleaned up!
So many children has suffered more damage than a little bit by the hands of DHS.
Please keep me and my grandchildren in your prayers. We are going through a difficult time in our lives.
Thank You and God Bless!

"ISSUES OF CONCERNED"

TUESDAY JULY 5 2011
"ISSUES OF CONCERNED"
MARCH 2 2006:
My grandchildren has been in foster care for quite sometime now. It's an life altering unforeseen tragic event. It's a horrible thing that a family has to go through. No one can imagine what a family has to deal with in a situation such as this, that i am having to face.
I have been doing what any grandmother would do to get her precious grandsons out of the foster care system. With all the efforts that I've put forth and done to achieve that challenge. To no avail because of the Oklahoma Family Courts and Oklahoma DHS, it's only been a living night mare. They have fought me every step of the way. Denying me my grandchildren. Not even regular visitation. I haven't seen my grand-babies in over a year now. The last time I had a visit with my grandchildren were on Feb- 16 2010. That was it!
The issues of concerned that I'm having to raise question about are:
  1. The Judge dismissing me from the court hearings, when I'm there to get my grand babies out of the foster care system.
  2. The reason for dismissing me? It states because of my past actions? Because i voice my opinion and exercise my freedom of speech.
  3. Also states that I was dismissed because I wasn't present on the court date of 2/8/2011, which i wasn't notified of the change.
  4. Judge denied me access to court documents back in 2009 of December.
  5. Court date changed and I wasn't notified of the one day move up from 2/9/2011.
  6. Judge denied petition for Adoption so I could Adopt my grandchildren.
  7. Judge denied request to order DHS do a HOME STUDY of my home for placement of my grandchildren.
  8. DHS called THE BAIR FOUNDATION, to notify them not to certify me for licensing, stating to them that they wouldn't be able to place with me.
  9. Judge denied visitation with my grandchildren.
  10. Judge denied guardianship.
  11. Judge denied haebus corpus.
  12. Judge denied the mother of the children, her request to return home to her mother, which is myself, Farina Thompson, to help her with her children, that would benefit the children and they would get out of the foster care system.
  13. Judge denied the mother's request, The mother she relinquished her parental rights on 9/15/2009
  14. Family Reunification-- DHS hasn't tried to reunify my grandsons with me.
  15. Reasonable Effort-- It hasn't been made by DHS.
  16. Family Values-- Seems to me that DHS isn't concerned with that.
  17. Grandparents Rights-- DHS has revealed that Oklahoma has no Grandparents Rights.
  18. Family Contact--There hasn't been no bonding between my grandchildren and my self, because DHS has denied and refused me the ability to do that.
  19. My grandchildren has been alienated from the family and not able to make phone calls to their biological family.
  20. Policy and procedures--According to the DHS policy and procedures when it comes to placement of the grandchildren with me their grandmother I am with in guidelines. However DHS refuses to release my grandchildren.
  21. I'm a United States Veteran.
  22. I'm a Registered Voter.
  23. I've a Decent Income.
  24. I've a Residence, a home.
  25. 3-2-2 square footage 2,000+
  26. Education - I've Certificates and Diplomas of Education.
  27. Certificates of completion for the FOSTER PRIDE ADOPT.
  28. I'm not a felon.
  29. I've adequate Transportation.
  30. I'm responsible and reliable.
  31. I'm able, willing and capable.
  32. Judge refuses to let me have any contact with my grandchildren, nor will he let my grandsons contact me.
  33. I am the grandchildren maternal and biological grandmother.
  34. Grandchildren has been alienated from me from the very beginning.
  35. It's about the children and getting them reunited with their family immediately. Not having them suffer in the foster care system, when it isn't caused for.
    What the Court System and DHS has done to me and my grandsons are just pure evil and an injustice has occurred.
    My grandchildren are suffering because of the court system has failed us. DHS HAS LIED.
    Thank You for taking the time to read my post.
    I'm asking everyone to please pray for me and my grandchildren.
    Thank You and God Bless.

FAMILY VALUES, STRENGTH AND FOUNDATION

SAT JULY 2 2011

Hi my name is Farina Thompson, I'm a grandmother that's grieving and missing my grandchildren that's in Oklahoma Foster Care.

I'm posting today on the key essentials to families and children, that they need the connection of family so they can bond.

My grandchildren they have been in foster care since March 2 2006. We haven't had regular visits since my grandsons were taken. I haven't seen them since 2-16-2010. I am going through it. I can only imagine what my grand babies are feeling. This is wrong.

The Oklahoma Family Court-- Judge Richard W Kirby hasn't let me see my grandsons. The DHS initial case worker from the beginning by the name of Tara Bone, she is the one that has directed the case primarily.

Family strengthening is the key to building strong families. Not taking peoples children and refusing to work with them. The children mother she needed help and yet the family court-- Judge Kirby denied her request to return home where she could receive that help.

My daughter she relinquished her parental rights on 9-15-2009. DHS since, has kept my grandchildren away from me with no visitation or phone calls. It's been terrible not to hear my grandchildren voice or to be able to hug them.

Family bonding and being included in the children lives are very important. Even more, It's essential for the children to be in touch with their grandparent(s).

Please pray for me and my grandchildren.

Thank you for taking the time to read my posting.

God Bless

CORRUPTION IN OKLAHOMA FAMILY COURT

JUNE 29 2011

The Judicial system has failed me and my precious grandchildren. Dating back to 2006, some 5 years now.

Unfair practices in the Oklahoma Family Court. My grandchildren has been in the system for some time now.

Judge Richard W Kirby, he's the 2nd judge on my grandsons case. The original judge was Nan Patton.

The system is broken. THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. Where is the justice? The power and the privilege or so they try to appear as such! They shouldn't be bias when processing case.

With prejudice issues and personal vendetta that the judge and the others involved on the case, has directed towards me and my grandchildren. My family! It does show me that the system is BROKEN!

My grandchildren are loved, wanted and missed. It's no need for the actions that has been taken. My precious grand-babies while being in the system, they deserve to have continuous contact with their family. I haven't seen my grandchildren since over a year now and that's not in DHS guidelines. Children needs to be bonding with their biological family members.

My grandsons are in separate households and are placed all over the State of Oklahoma. I have 5 grandsons who have been through pure hell.

I am in so much pain and my grandchildren has endured so much. No children should be in foster care.

Judge Richard Kirby, has denied the request to order DHS to do a home study of my home. That would show proof that my home is qualified to pass and be approve for the permanent placement of my grandchildren. Denied! Denied!

Because of his decision my grandsons are still in the foster care system and are away from their family and love-ones.

The judicial system has failed my family! My grandchildren that's being shuffled around in the foster care system.

Please keep me and my grandsons in your prayers!

Thank You and God Bless.

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.

FOSTER CARE

SUNDAY JUNE 26 2011
Hello Everyone,
FOSTER CARE! OMG! WHERE DO I START: IT'S NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN:
Hi I am Farina Thompson, a grandmother that's currently in the State of Oklahoma, and has been since, 2008, after moving here from the State of Nevada. I only came here because of my grandchildren, they were taken, by Oklahoma DHS, from their mother, my daughter, and taken into custody and put into foster care. That was 5 years ago on 3/2/2006.
Oklahoma has continuously denied me my grandchildren! I remain in disbelief over the process of these so called PROFESSIONALS, as they call themselves. How they truly believe that they are just in their actions on this case. Are beyond me.
Foster Care simply put: Isn't no place for children at all what so ever! It should never be long term placement! My God! My grand babies has been in there, way too long! Since 2006. It's not justice, how these Oklahomans has processed my grandsons case.
I'm Tired! Drained! and Yet!, I will not give up on the journey of getting my grandchildren out of foster care. Foster care is so! Not the place for children. For no children at all!
With the case of my 5 grandsons, here in the State Of Oklahoma. From the start, right off the bat it wasn't going well: The initial case worker her name is Tara J Bone, she wasn't all that helpful to my daughter. Tara Bone, an employee of DHS, which she has now moved up in rank. She's at every court hearing there is. At the request of DHS, that I be excluded from future court hearings. This request was granted on 2-8-2011 by Judge Ricard W Kirby. Which I wasn't present, and they feel that's justice for dismissing me from the case. It was some some shuffling around with the court date and I wasn't notified. Initial court date was 2-9-2011. How ever I wasn't there and the dirt was renderred.
Children in foster care should be returned home to the family as soon as possible. Of course everything has to be checked out! Alright! Now! with that being said: Oklahoma DHS wouldn't do that for our family, for my grandchildren. They wouldn't work with me. Instead, they pass judgement, they let their personal feelings get in the way, because of that they-- Oklahoma DHS have kept my grandchildren alienated from me. I haven't seen my grand babies or heard their voices in over a year since 2-16-2010. That date was the last visit we had.
We have never had regular visitation from the beginning. There was a problem with visits from the very start on since 3/2/2006.
Judge Richard W Kirby, Assistant D.A. Jane Brown, Public Defender William Ryan Hauser, DHS Tara Bone, which she is now the supervisor, in the beginning she was the initial case worker, Oklahoma Casa, DHS Director- Howard Hendrick, DHS Director's Aid- Margaret Noble, they all opposes placing my grandchildren with me. (All of these folks I've met, except the Director I've not met him.)
These folks have a personal vendetta against me. What they have done to me and my grand -babies
Is an Injustice.
DHS has put it in writing that they have denied me placement of my grandchildren because of a 1982 Food Stamp Case! That doesn't make any sense! Oklahoma is calling it a Felony! That's the basis according to them, for not giving me my grandchildren. I don't have any felonies, I have never been to prison! Shortly after that I enlisted into the United States Army. No one can enlist into any branch of service with a felony, Come On! What's up with this? I'm good enough to enlist and serve a great country, Yet I'm not good enough to come to the aid of my grandchildren, to raise, love and nurture them?
I've provided, to Oklahoma DHS, all of my credentials, proof of diplomas, classes taken, my finances, stating I have my own money and doesn't need any money from public assistance to care for my grandchildren. This is ridiculous! This here shows that I've been targeted and that these so called Professionals are bias towards me.
Their actions, has only led to the continuous separation of my grandchildren and the family. My grandchildren remains in the Oklahoma foster care system, being shuffled, shafted and moving around like ping pong balls. It's emotional and disturbing at the unprofessional behavior of this states' agency. This is inconceivable! Everything that they have done to me and my grandchildren. They have not released my grandchildren. How this case has went on, dragged on for years. 5 years! How they are continuing their unjust attitude and behavior.
Keeping children in the foster care system, doped up on medication, over medicating my grandchildren. Alienating my grandsons from me. Most definitely! Not in the best interest of my grand babies.This is outrageous! devastating to so many families, including my own. DHS has caused my family nothing but heartaches and pain, plenty of restless nights, painful it is, just has been a complete horror in living day light!
Nothing can ease the pain and suffering, that one feels when your, love-ones has been taken by a corrupted government agency. An agency that will falsify documents and purger themselves in court, in order to keep your children in the system. Then to top that off when the family court judge that's presiding over the case, will not give you your grandchildren, because of his power and domination.
This is an injustice! With this going on and no one willing to look at this, children in foster care will suffer a great deal. My grandsons should have been out of the foster care system long time ago!Yet! today after 5 years, they still remains. If those professional people would of done their job and acted accordingly. To provide justice and due diligence to each case. Then my grandsons would be home. We would have closure and be rebuilding our lives.
March 2 2006, my grandsons were taken, now that was 5 years ago. My precious grand babies has aged and are now the ages of: 14 years, soon to be 15 in Dec 2011, 12 years, 11 years, 10 years and 7 years of age.
My adorable grandchildren, they are loved, wanted and truly missed. They are being held against their will. As well as being alienated from me, (their biological and maternal grandmother). By the hands of Oklahoma DHS and the actions of them and of the presiding Judge by the name of Richard W Kirby, he's the ASSOCIATE DISTRICT JUDGE.
Oklahoma DHS/foster care division needs to be investigated, and or shut down to make changes in order to help the many families and children that are preyed upon, and surely to go through complete hell, just as I have and continues to endure the sadness of not being involved in my grand children's lives.
Not being able to see my grand babies, which I haven't seen them in over one year, would be the same pain as if my chest had been impaled by knife. The pain, no one can imagine!
The bottom line would be: That of Oklahoma DHS has impeded with the release of my grandchildren being placed with me, because of their unlawful, unethical acts. It has surely had an emotional impact my grandchildren. Their frame of mind. Their mental state. One can only image how children are affected once they are in the hands of a state agency such as Foster Care.
Everyone involved in such cases as this, such as my, my precious grandchildren should be held accountable for their actions! No one is above the law including the judge himself! He's allowed for my grandchildren to remain in foster care. Despite what is Justice and Right.
Justice for all! Not justice for some!!!!! JUSTICE FOR ALL.
I will not stop my journey for justice until my grandchildren are home.
To each of you, keep the faith, hang in there. Keep up your fight and don't give up!
My prayers are with you and I commend you on your efforts as well to all of you that's fighting the fight to get your babies, grandbabies or love-ones out of the foster care system.
Please! I asked that everyone keep me and my grandchildren in your prayers, as we are going though a difficult time in our lives.
Thank You and God Bless

Grieving Grandmother: Family Ripped Apart

Sunday June 26 2011
(It's been a while since I've posted!!. I'm still here! Just going through It!!!)
Heartache And Pain! That's all it has been since the day that my grandchildren were taken away, by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services/Child Protective Services/Foster Care Division. That was on March 02, 2006.
My grandchildren are still not home!!!!! It has been over 5 years. Truly a very long and emotional five years it has been. My grandbabies has been uprooted from their family and loves-ones. If that's not enough pain and suffering, the OKDHS, they continue to shuffle, shaft, and move my grandchildren from one foster care placement to the other. How would that be in the best interest of the my grandchildren? The system most definitely needs to be revamped, completely restructured from the ground up, I must say.
DHS/CPS/FCS, there are so many names that the agency/organization goes by. In any case the results are similar in the way that a family is treated. What I mean is that the agencies are fast to take our babies, grandbabies and our love-ones. Then gives us pure hell when we fight to get them back. I'm so tired of the dirt, that these folks get away with. No one wants to get involved! That's crazy!
In the case with my 5 grandsons: There have been two judges on the case.
My grandbabies has been subjected to some of everything in the custody of the State of Oklahoma. From in and out of group homes to respite care to children shelters, in addition to going from placement to placement. Also don't want to forget that my grandbabies are on medication and they are being over medicated. My grandchildren have been alienated, they are in foster care and are separated from their siblings and family. How cruel is that? Children in foster care are to have continuous contact with their biological family until they are reunited. My grandsons don't have that privilege.
With all that going on; Judge Richard W Kirby, the Associate District Judge residing over the case, he has not given me my grandchildren, let alone let me have visitation with my grandbabies. It's been since 2-16-2010 since I've seen my grandsons. Not even a phone call!
Since my encounter with the State of Oklahoma Department of Human Services and the Oklahoma family Court, let me express: That it has been a living nightmare!! NIGHTMARE FROM HELL!
I've done everything that one can do to show the OKLAHOMA FAMILY COURT and THE DEPARTMENT of HUMAN SERVICES/CHILD PROCTECTIVE SERVICE/FOSTER CARE DIVISION, to prove that i am able to care for my biological grandchildren. They have denied me everything. That's not right at all the way that this state has treated me and my grandchildren.
I moved to Oklahoma from Nevada. I have my foster pride/adopt completion certificates. I rented a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood in Oklahoma, which consists of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage, has over 2,000 square feet. Just more than enough room for my grandchildren. (My grandchildren's rooms are fully furnished and equipped with everything that they need. Only thing that is missing are my grandsons).
Judge Richard W Kirby, has denied the request to order OKDHS to do a home study of my home. Doing a home evaluation, home -study of my home it will show that I have everything in order. It would be in the best interest of my grandchildren to get them out of the foster care system and back home to family where they belong. Still to this day! My grandbabies remain in Oklahoma Department of Human Services/FOSTER CARE WITH NO CONTACT WITH GRANDMA.
The individuals involved in my grandsons case are:
Judge Richard W Kirby, He's the Associate District Judge
Assistant D.A. Jane Brown
Public Defender William Ryan Hauser
DHS Supervisor Tara J Bone
Oklahoma CASA volunteer Susan Brown and a couple others as well.
The OKLAHOMA CASA volunteer, Susan Brown, she has been to my home and she done a report for her CASA SUPERIOR, whom she reported to. Susan Brown she took photos of my home, the children's room and she seen that my home was fine and perfect for placement of my grandchildren. Yet! Judge Kirby would not allow her to speak in court. He never asked her. It was never mention at all.
I've never seen so many cold hearted folks ever in my life! These creatures are destroying families and not even given it a second thought about what they are doing. This is terrible!!
Their actions shows me that: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CHILDREN.
These so called PROFESSIONALS, as they call themselves has not handled my grandchildren's case ethically or professional let alone in a swiftly manner. They have allowed their personal feelings to get in the way of processing the case. This is wrong! An INJUSTICE IT IS!!
Here I am, I come complete with everything that's needed to take care and provide for my grandchildren! Yet, they continuously deny me my precious grandchildren.
ON FEBRUARY 8TH 2011, Judge Richard W Kirby kicked me out of the court hearings. At the request of DHS for me to be excluded from further court hearings. Let me tell you! how they done it. Initially court was set for February 9th 2011, Here in Oklahoma, on that day it was snowing some terrible, Ok Now! Come to find out court had been moved up a day early, to 2-8-2011, and I wasn't notified at all. So according to them: because I wasn't present, It gave them the right to dismiss me from future further hearings. Come on Please!! Tell me the system isn't broken? I'm doing everything to get my grandchildren home! To get them out of the system!! Oklahoma don't want to release my grandchildren to me, yet they are just floating around in the foster care system. How is that considered; In the best interest of the children??
THIS IS WRONG! THIS IS WRONG! THIS IS AN INJUSTICE!
PS. ALL OF YOU THAT'S FIGHTING FOR YOUR LOVE-ONES, PLEASE CONTINUE AND DON'T GIVE UP! NO MATTER HOW HARD AND DIFFICULT IT IS FOR YOU. My prayers are with each and every one of you.
Please keep me and my grandchildren in your prayers as well.
Thank You and God Bless.
