Happy 13th Birthday Austin Ricardo Gamez-KNIGHTLY

                              Happy Birthday Grandson Austin!

Happy 13th Birthday to our much loved grandson Austin! Though you can't be with us today, we are celebrating your life and the good times we spent together as a family.
You have a new cousin who now shares your birthday. She reminds us so much of you. We see you in her every day. Even though she's never met you, she know's who you are. She look's at pictures of you all the time and can't wait to meet you, along with the rest of your new cousins. Some day we will all be back together. The sooner the better.
We love and miss you and can't wait for your return. We will never forget you. We are Family. Your REAL Family. The Family who loves you unconditionally. The Family you were ripped away from.
So here's hoping you have a Happy Birthday. As happy as can be, without your REAL Family by your side to celebrate with you. We will be with you again. The wheels of Justice are very slow, but you WILL come home!
Love Always and Forever, Grammy, Grampie, Mommy, Belle and your entire REAL Family!

Note: Then Stop Stealing children from innocent families! 
If the kids have been subjected to abuse or neglect for longer periods of time while in their homes, or have more serious mental health concerns, I guess your staff isn't doing their jobs concerning the rendering of services for these families. When you pull a child out of a home, most times due to false allegation's, YOU are the people responsible for their mental and emotional issues. What do you plan on doing now? Stopping services to these families, which is a Federal mandate, only to steal the children at a younger age because younger children are more adoptable?
