Heard from my daughters worker today. Seriously I wish we had had her from the beginning. It really is amazing to me every time I talk to her. She actually listens to us. I am so used to workers who don't care, don't do their jobs, lie and so on that dealing with this worker is always pleasantly surprising. I knew there had to be good, decent workers out there but never met one until this worker.
Anyway we needed a letter to give to the high school here so we could set up a meeting with them to discuss my daughters transfer for this fall. The meeting would be my partner and I and our community support worker. We wanted to meet with the principal, student counselor and some of the teachers. I wanted to fill them in on a few things to try and ensure as smooth a transition to her new school as possible.
So this is part of what the letter states(names removed):
"I am the Children’s Services Case Worker for (my daughter), and am writing this letter to confirm that our case plan is to return her to the care of her mother. We are hoping to have her transition into her mother’s care over the course of the summer, and proceed to rescinding the Permanent Guardianship Order by the end of 2014. This may happen sooner, but until it does, the Ministry remains the legal guardian of the child. Her mother will be the official caregiver and will have the authority to register her for school and sign and give permission for any daily matters."
So as you can see it is totally official now.
MY DAUGHTER IS MOVING HOME!!!!
Took 6yrs of fighting, took just one worker with a heart and decency to actually look at the file and see it for what it is. But it is finally happening. My daughter will be home this summer permanently. We have know for a while but seeing it in an official letter actually brought tears to my eyes. My dad is telling me to frame it. lol
My fight is not over though. My sons will be coming home too. I don't know yet when. It will take a worker like my daughters to help fix this injustice to my entire family. But it will happen. I will never stop till my entire family is back together.
We just had to share this will you all.

Exciting Announcement
OK here is one of the things we have been keeping secret(one of three) that is geared towards helping reunite my family and get justice for the 7 of us.
The blog is being turned into a book. I am consulting with the author of the book A Child Called It. I have been in contact with his assistant and they are willing to help me turn the blog into a book but their services are of course not free. So I am wondering if any of my friends out there can help me get consulting money together so that my blog being turned into a book can become a reality. This can happen, with help and is something that can help so many.
The step kids have agreed to write additions in their own words of what happened to them, my daughter will be adding stuff as well that is not already on the blog and I have also written several extra entries for the book as well. Some that were very hard to write. Some entries are being expanded upon as well. Some of our evidence(emails and so on) will be included in the book that is not on the blog as well. Along with information about the other two things in the works that will help bring closure and justice and reunite my family.
When it becomes a book all money from it will go to paying for a lawyer to have my sons returned home and then go on to help pay for therapies to help them over come the trauma's all 3 of them have dealt with. The initial consulting fee is $300. So if you can help, even if it is just a few bucks, please check out the link below. The sooner we can get this on the move the better. I have two wonderful friends who are helping with editing and it is already about 2/3rds completed.
As so many have told me this is a story that needs to get out. A story that can help others gain strength, realize they are not alone, realize that when a survivor has the right supports that they can over come anything. This is a story of 7 amazingly strong people. Please help in getting it out in print.
