well...we were denied...as adoptive parents...because I got arrested in 1980...and i did not bring it up because i was told all charges were dropped...that my record had been cleaned....but obviously it wasnt.....so our little girl waits in an orphanage with no one waiting to adopt her...my woman is, well,..upset and angry...and i...want to die

Awwwwwwww, I am so sorry.

Is there any way to have that cleared and show them that these charges were dropped?

Or would that not even matter at this point?

Do the past 24 years of you life not even factor in to this?

Can you write to your congress or senator about this?

I am really so sorry.

Can your gf adopt her?

I hope there is a way to get around this.

Keep us posted.

Big hugs to you both.

I know there is nothing to say that can comfort you.

I wish I had the answers.

Pam,

I had no idea.

How sad and tragic for everyone including these babies who could have people who will love them as their own.

My heart is breaking for all of you.

love to you all,

Laurie

How petty of them, in light of all the love you offered this baby... the arrest was over 20 yrs ago, with nothing since!! No wonder children wait.


I am SOO sorry~

Thank you all...we are going to fight this...tooth and nail. I have contacted the court where the arrest took place and, after some whining about a bad back and neck, the clerk went to the basement and found my file...in it was the order to expunge the record and seal the file...but it had never been done. We need to get the judge to certify all this and then submit back to homeland security. Our agency is supporting us 100% and believes we will be OK. We have lost any hopes of having her home for the holidays but we WILL have her home....or die trying

(((((((((((Soozi)))))))))))) I'm so glad you contacted the court and that hopefully your record will be taken care of. You and Lise deserve this sooo much. BTW, she is just gorgeous. Those big brown eyes just make you melt I'm sure.

She is soooooo beautiful, I can see why you would never stop trying! I can't believe someone just didn't do their job and now it is affecting you and Lise and the baby...people can be so irresponsible. You must be livid! I hope it doesn't take as long as Christmas to get this corrected! Get your file, and take a walk over to the golf course to see the judge, that will get his attention. I am so so sorry for you guys and will pray this gets corrected quickly, good luck, hugs, Sandra
