Now they want the kids...
What the HELL!!The friggin' Texas House of Reps has passed a bill with an amendment that would take my kids away! What is it with these freaking republicans! My family is sitting here in our own house, paying taxes and not hurting anyone, but we are so offensive we have to disband!
My partner and I took adolescent girls with emotional problems severe enough to warrant them not adoptable, and after three years of blood, sweat and tears, we have a FAMILY. Our teens are happier and more balanced then they have EVER been. The seventeen year old will probably age out before this becomes a problem, but the fourteen year old is right in the middle. After all of the abuse she suffered from her (heterosexual) birth family, and then two failed adoption attempts, her psychiatrist felt that she would never have healthy attachments with anyone. But we did it - it was like pouring acid on her to get her to accept the fact that we wouldn't give her up - and now she is ours. We are hers. If they take her away she won't survive emotionally. We are trying to get the adoption for her going, but her level of care is still high and her case worker wants us to wait another year.
Just yesterday the foster agency was pressuring us to take another girl. Now the Leg. wants to take them all away. Is there a God?

Dear Cebi,
You and your family are in our prayers and we are here to take action to help in any way we can.
Let your children speak by writing letters.sending pictures,anything that allows THE CHILDREN to represent themselves and be empowered to know that they can and will change the Social injustice that is trying to control their lives. Love and action will win this. Stay strong
