110827 Kinda Down

There is a man in court in Ft. Worth who is trying to get his daughter back. His wife died while he was out of state, so her parents took the child and hired a lawyer. That was three years ago. He is still trying to gain custody of his own daughter! She is about 9 years old.

My in-laws have been upset with me since the divorce. Moon is old enough to be on her own if necessary. Her boyfriend's mom has an extra room. He moved across the state to go to college. What if they found a reason to take Agent? I don't think they will, and she has reached the age where the court ususally gives the child the choice.

This case reminds me of the time last year when I thought CPS was going to take my children from me. Grandparents are one thing, but the state? If they threatened, I instructed Moon to run away to friends or relatives. Agent would not have survived well in foster care. Those two girls kept me going after the crisis. Without them, I would have given up and died.
