Another Easter Without Austin and Isabella
Another Easter without my stolen grandchildren Austin and Isabella.
When will this nightmare end?
I'm sure, by now, Austin knows we haven't given up on him and we never will. We are still waiting for him to contact us. Hopefully he's able to and if he is, he will find us.
As for Isabella, known as Bella to other's, I'm sure she know's by now that the people who are raising her are not her REAL family. I'm also quite sure she is aware we haven't given up on her either and never will. I'm sure she also know's the other two adopted sister's are not her siblings. She look's nothing like them and I'm sure the they've told Isabella themselves after visit's with their own bio Mother. Whether the "chosen" stranger's like it or not, Bella will find us. She will ask question's about her REAL family. She probably already has. I've seen so much sadness in her eyes, I'm sure she already know's and want's her REAL family back. The family who love both she and Austin unconditionally. We don't get paid to love them, as the people who are raising them do. Love comes naturally to bio families. Something the adopter's will never know.
Austin and Bella, I hope you have a nice Easter and I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you both. It would have been a dream come true to have the both of you home with us, but the State of New Hampshire is just too embarrassed to admit they screwed up. All the both of you were, were dollar signs in the eyes of the greedy State Kidnapper's. Some day, you will both come home where you belong. We love you both so much, as well as your entire family. You have new cousin's who can't wait to meet you and more on the way.
We love and miss you both and pray you are being well taken care of and not abused, as so many stolen children are.
Happy Easter to you both and please contact us as soon as you're able. We are very worried about the both of you and will never stop praying for your return.
Love, Grammy Grampie and your entire family

Autopsy to ID Dead Boy;May be Jeremiah Oliver-Failed by Ma. DCYF
Autopsy to ID Dead Boy; Body Cast off Side of Road - ABC News:
All Massachusetts authorities could say for sure is that they found the lifeless body of a small boy, apparently cast off the side of a highway. An autopsy should reveal if the child is Jeremiah Oliver, the Fitchburg 5-year-old missing for months before police learned of his disappearance and began looking for him. Jeremiah's case has led to criminal charges against his mother and her boyfriend and calls for changes within the state's child welfare agency. Three state workers have been fired.
Note:If DCYF wasn't so busy railroading innocent parent's of non-abused children, they'd have time to save the children truly suffering. Their name should be Child UN-protective Services! And not just in Massachusetts. Nationwide!

New thinking on brain-science therapies could help foster kids
New thinking on brain-science therapies could help foster kids - The Denver Post:
Therapies based on brain science — and limited use of antipsychotic medications — are the answer for thousands of foster kids whose traumatic childhoods have left them with depression and extreme aggression, according to a growing number of experts. Many children taking antipsychotic medications do not have psychosis but trauma-induced behavioral problems with symptoms that mimic mental illness, researchers and child advocates said.

While the demand for adoptable babies is increasing in the United States—driven in large part by evangelical Christians—the number of babies available for adoption is declining.

A Letter from a Nashua, NH Grandmother (with add ons)
Below is an Anonymous letter I received from a Nashua Grandmother. Another Grandmother whose grandchild was stolen by Nashua, NH DCYF before being placed with her, or other relatives. And of course, once again, "Hearsay" without proof, used by one parent against the other. In this case, as well as other's, "Hearsay" used in the kidnapping of another child by NH DCYF.
Here is the story and I am hoping you put it on your page,
My son had a baby, She is 7 wks old, The mother is all messed up and dropped the baby three times on the floor while she was all nodding off, She didn't even hear her screaming, she was so messed up, The police told my son go to court and get emergency custody, which he did.The judge gave my son custody,
We picked up the baby, The next day the mother went to the court and told the court my son threatened to cut her and the babys throat, which was a lie and she told them he uses heroin, Another lie, He has been clean almost a year, The Police came with DCYF and took the baby on the mothers hearsay, They knew of the mothers drug problem, She was involved with them already, They went to the hospital and everything and warned her not too sleep with the baby on her chest all messed, up, The nurses told DCYF how good my son did with the baby and how he took care of the baby ninety percent of the time, so now DCYF stole his baby.
The thing that makes me mad is that after the police gave us the baby, they came to make sure the house was safe and we had everything she needed, They approved the house, The mother tried to flee with the baby and the police searched the tree streets for her, The mother wouldn't give us anything, Took her blanket, coat, not even a bottle, The police were mad, They should have arrested the mom for kidnapping because she fled with the baby, DCYF had no reason to remove the baby, especially scince the police checked the house, If they felt it was unsafe they wouldn't have let her stay in the first, place, then two days later come with DCYF and take her. Messed up state.
Note: This sounds like my family's DCYF horror story all over again!
