Needing help dcf siezed my newborn son from wife said he under ppc because had baby at home then tested positive for weed at screening, also because i stated it was my write to take our child to another hospital. They made him state of ward were then doctors tested and prescribe pain killers freely...

First let me say that I am sorry you and your husband are going through this. I'm sure that the two of you have been devastated by this and are likely in a state of shock. However, now that your step son has been placed in protective custody, I would think that the first thing you would want to do i...

More good news (for her). Hopefully he will be successful as well in time. Sorry to hear about the financial strain. The important thing is that the family is back together. The rest will work itself out.

That is great news. I can't wait to hear what it is but I know you have been through the ringer on this. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Also, I am glad that you have kept fairly active here. So many folks post early on and then disappear. I think it is important to stay connected and let others...

glad to hear he is back with his kids as he should be.

I am sorry you are having to go through this. It's awful having your son or daughter forcibly removed from your care. Keep your recovery first. Everything else will happen as it should. I can't promise you that if you do you will get your son back, but I can promise you that if you don't, you won't....

First off, I would suggest changing your username to something that is not linked to your real identity. Caseworkers may be able to access this site and you do not want to provide them any information they can (and likely will if they have the chance) use against you. Request the website admin to de...

haven't seen you post recently. I hope everything is going ok for you. Hopefully, we will hear from you soon, but until then, my prayers are with you.

Congratulations! The father should celebrate this victory. I know he just wants to see his kids and that will happen in time but CPS has no leg to stand on and will likely just go harass someone else now (unfortunately). The father should still stay vigilant and keep up the pressure but at least he ...

I'm sorry that I don't stop in to the site as much as I used to, but I would like to give a quick update so that others can see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As of April my involvement with Family Court ended. It ended with little fanfare with the expiration of the TOP. However, th...

Thank you Linda. Court yesterday was as expected. By the time I arrived (a minute or two after the scheduled time) my attorney was already walking out. I guess he and the other attorneys already had their little pow wow and that was that. The county did not file a new petition so the Order will just...

This Monday is yet another court appearance. The TOP expires in mid April and this appearance is to allow the county to file a new petition if that is what they are planning. However, my attorney said that if that is indeed what they were planning on doing, then we would have heard of it by now. I a...

First let me say that I am very sorry that you are having to deal with this and that I pray for the return of your children to you as soon as possible. Second, I would also suggest that you stay connected to this and any other positive resource that you can get your hands on. What's done is done but...

OK, I know not many (maybe only Linda) checks in on this but I am determined I am going to keep this up to date until it's over. Two weeks ago I received the good news from my attorney that the TOP (a.k.a. Stay away Order) has been modified yet again to accommodate unsupervised visits; once a week f...

Thank you Linda, Posting here has been incredibly helpful as I look back on my first post and see how far I've come. Hopefully, someone else may see this and get some encouragement from it. I have read hundreds of posts here and try and respond to as many as possible even if just providing words of ...

I can't comment on much of what you have/are going through as it is much different than what I have experienced. However, the first thing I did when my ordeal started was get an attorney. You didn't mention it, but I assume you are being represented by somebody. If so, you really want to make sure t...

I would call them and find out as much as possible as to what it is about. I'd also suggest meeting at their office as opposed to your home. Again, why is it they want to see home? Are you the subject of an investigation? If so, you are required to be notified in writing. Have you been notified in w...

Thank you Linda. Posting here has been very therapeutic for me and I hope that I can be of help to someone else in need. Last week I was granted ability to call my son on Christmas. As a matter of fact, I will be allowed to call him every week, Friday at specified time. I can also send him a Christm...

Last week finally received the Order from Family Court for the supervised visitation. Boy, they were sure in a hurry when they issued the TOP. Had it in my hand before I left the courthouse. This Order took nearly 2 months. Probably took all of 5 seconds to sign. Anyway, just checked with my casewor...

I am very sorry to hear what you are going through. I'm sure your devastated. My experience didn't have a criminal side to it so I can't provide much in the way of guidance there but my understanding is that when a situation contains both (criminal and Family Court) you should focus on the criminal....

Yeah, thanks trina. Today is my third scheduled supervised visitation. My son's mom cancelled and rescheduled for tomorrow. Pretty bummed but at least I get to see him tomorrow (unless they cancel again). Also received a call from my attorney. CW called him complaining that I took elevator down with...

Just sharing my experience so please take it for what it's worth. I had been seeing a therapist on my own well before the allegation was made to deal with my own struggles in my marriage. I was not nor have I ever been on psych meds (never been recommended by my therapist). When Psych Eval was perfo...

by court order, I am granted at minimum, once a week for an hour. Last week went really well. As his mom had already communicated with me earlier in the day that she and my son would be arriving a half hour earlier than the appointed time, I also went early. As soon as I walked in to waiting room to...

It's not hopeless. Even if worst comes to worst, you can appeal. Take a deep breath and try to stay in the here and now. You can't do anything about the past and have no idea what is in the future. Rally all of your resources and try to remain calm as best you can. I'm not trying to tell you what to...

If you define a month as 30 days, then it will have been 19 months and 5 days since I've seen my son in person. At the time, CPS had been under investigation by the state due to three child deaths as a result of mishandling by case worker. As this is an election year for county exec, this issue is r...
