~sigh. Man you guys are just tearing at my heart strings today. I'm so sorry Sooz, this really upsets me. I believe I mentioned that my cousin adopted out of Guatemala several years ago, maybe she could help in some way? I don't know. Let me know if you want me to ask her, I'll do anything I can to help.

I am so sorry, I can't imagine what you must be going through. Being punished for a 24 yr old crime seems very unfair. Don't be too hard on yourself. Hugs, Sandra

Soozi, just in case you didn't get the e-mail that I sent to you through your profile, My suggestion is that you try to get your record expunged. I know that my first girlfriend tried to get into security work, but couldn't because of her record.

I know that you are an intelligent woman, but you have to go through a process (yes, another process)to have your record cleared completely. I really don't know where you live, but check with your legal system to see what you have to do. I know through experiencing helping my first girlfriend out, I had to be a character witness, and so did her best friend.

They decided, that after reading her personal statement and both of our testamonies, that they would give her a second chance. But, I don't know if that works within your system, so my suggestion is to give it a try. I hope that my suggestion works out for you. Have faith, things do change.

Mulitple hugs to you and Lise.

 


Hugs,


Sebastian

I can only imagine the heartbreak for all of you. I hope there is a way they can reconsider their decision.
