Wow.  Learn about periods, first of all.\n\nOkay, this is a stab in the dark because I don't know Arizona law, but I think it's a fairly educated stab in the dark.\n\nYou're not a blood relative.  CPS has jurisdiction over this kid but for whatever reason placed the child with you (are you a licensed foster parent?).  Since CPS has jurisdiction, and since you're not a blood relative, I would strongly suspect that you have no rights as to this child whatsoever, no matter what the biological mother wants.\n\nUltimately, CPS is responsible for this child while it is in state custody and that means they get to call the shots.  You certainly can hire an attorney to look into the matter; I'm just telling you what I strongly suspect will be the outcome.  Perhaps not the definitive answer, but I'd bet I'm pretty close to being on the money.

Got a good one for you here.  Not anyone I know personally but in the state of Michigan...A little boy named Ricky Holland  was adopted by his foster "parents"  Child protective services have been called on them NUMEROUS times.  Well the foster parents ended up BRUTALLY killing him.  I could go into details about that but I wish not to because it was bad.  If you contact me through my profile I will go into more detail about that.  Protective Services had been called by his school because his parents sent lunches with him daily of food he didn't like and wouldn't eat.  He had bruises all the time and was extremely malnourished.  He was caught in neighbors houses while they were gone trying to steel food because he was so hungry. The parents locked all the cupboards and refrigerator.  Kept him in the basement and wouldn't let him play outside.  They also were call by neighbors because of that and because of all his mysterious bruises.  Well last year the put out a national Amber Alert because the parents said he had run away... Well It came out that they (his foster parents) killed him and hid his remains in a very remote area.  Like I said I will tell you the details of his death that was all over the news if you contact me.. Its nothing I want to post.. too gruesome.

I really don't get why only one child was removed from your custody and not all three... is the child that was removed, the only natural child of the man who brought the order against you, or are all the children his biological children?  And if you can't afford an attorney, you need to get to your county's Mediator and/or Court Facilitator A.S.A.P.  (look in the phone book's gov't section for your county and check under the Superior Court or Family Court heading for these listings)for help with your case.  Again, good luck!

I wish I could give you a positive view on this, but i can't. some babies are born with disorders, and you probably won't know more about what is going on until the further testing is done. my nephew had siezures when he was a newborn and he is fine now, no learning disorders or anything. So its not always life threatening. but they already detected a problem in the brain, so the baby might have a learning problem. But odds are if it was life threatening, the baby wouldn't of made it to delivery. plus in time the problem could correct itsself. babies do that. I was born with a hole in my heart,and a collapsed lung and my heart healed itsself, so did my lung..point being, it could take care of itsself. where the baby is right now is the best way to know for sure. After the doctors are done, they will let you know what to expect. babies can have silent seizures too which would explain why she stopped moving. my son had one when he was 14 months old, and it took him 6 hours to twitch a finger, his also lasted 15 minutes long not the usual 30 seconds to a minute and a half. Its scary to have to go thru what you are going thru right now, try to stay strong for everyone and hope for the best. sorry I couldn't give you the magic answer. but I figured i would share my experiences with it in hopes that it would help put your mind at ease a little. try to think positive even though at times its hard to do..

That's a tough one.  There probably is something to some of the complaints but now it sounds like maybe he's been pegged as a problem - rightfully or not.  Why not run this one past a professional counselor who can look at things unbiased and unattached to the situation? It will cost some money, but hey, the kid is worth it!

I suggest you IMMEDIATELY contact your state or county's welfare agency.  You need more than a place to live--you need adequate medical care, proper nutrition and support.  Please, don't hesitate.  Your baby's health and happiness depends on it.

I personally haven't heard of this website before, but as soon as I finish this post I'll try it out. As a person who has had experience with that ruthless, relentless, egotistical and corrupted agency, I feel as though something needs to be done about them yesterday! I have nothing good to say about them, at all! \n\nYes, a system like cps is needed, but I'll also be the first to admit that with the way the agency is now, it could stand to be shut down for repairs and a overhaul! Since my kids were taken back in March, and I've dealt with the cps system, I have never seen such a group of  lying, power tripping, and corrupted people in my entire life!\n\nIt is a miscarriage of justice for the things they do to some families and get away with. I have witnessed it first hand myself and it blows me away. They treat you like you are guilty before you've even gone to court! They lie and twist the truth so bad that you have lost before you are given a fair shot at winning your case. And the poor kids, they are shuffled from one foster home to another, while the sorry a$$ social worker sits back and thinks of more hurdles for the parents to jump over before she/he decides to let you have even your basic rights as the kids' parents!\n\nThe foster parents are no better and if they have taking a liking to your kid(s) they will work alongside the social worker to do any little thing they can think of to make it harder for the parents to get their kids back. (eventually hoping to be able to adopt the child- if things head in that direction) They show up late for the vistations, if not cancel them all together! any flemsy excuse they hand to the social worker  for the late or missed visitations is good enough for her or him. Oh and also, when the visitations are missed, or the foster parents show up late, the visits are not made up or extended, the parents just have to suffer the time lost to see their kids! The foster parents watch and listen to every little thing you say, then go back and twist it to their advantage, trying to make it look like you're incompetent as hell to raise your own kids!\nMy favorite foster parents are the ones who've never had kids, but are "experts" on how to raise kids (yours too) and how to take care of them! That one still makes me laugh! \n\nBut to answer your question, no, I think we as regular folk don't have the power to do anything that would be sufficient enough to put cps in their place! No, this needs to be looked at on a congressional level, then and only then would some action start being taken against cps. Sounds easy enough, but it isn't! The hardest part is getting those big wigs in the office to admit that there is a problem! Until then, millions of home wil be broken up by C.P.S (like someone else said it, Child Punishment Services)

Sounds like you're venting tonight .... If there was something you wanted specific feedback or answers with, we may be able to help you.\n\n\nBTW ... no one promised you perfect parents ... as parents don't get perfect children either.

Good questions.  The reasons for babies having these problems are varied - one of the most common fixable would have to be the lack of folic acid in a pregnant woman's diet before getting pregnant & during the first 3 months of baby's development.  Um - jacking off doesn't to my knowledge have anything to do with the problems you mentioned.  Maybe you could look up specific conditions on your web browser or chat to your local nurse/doctor.  Good luck with finding your answers.  Cheers.

I am so so sorry for you loss.\nSeriously, there is nothing you can do legally.  Why the hell are they letting that baby killer out of jail?\nDoes he hunt?  Maybe you could take up hunting too and he could have an unfortunate accident.

My guess is that they had first-trimester miscarriages.  It could just be coincidence.  It could also be that for whatever reason you have a relatively high number of defective sperm (no offense), or maybe your genetically defective sperm swim extra fast for some reason.  I'm just guessing here, but it seems to me that some individuals could be at a higher risk for nondisjunction events (when homologous chromosomes fail to separate) with results in trisomies and monosomies (the sperm has the wrong number of chromosomes, so the embryo has the wrong number of chromosomes).  Trisomy 21 causes Downs Syndrom, and I think there are one or two others that can result in full-term babies, but most of them self-abort in the first trimester.  If I'm right, it could also explain your fertility issues.  However, I want to make perfectly clear that this is just the speculation of a first-year bio major and shouldn't be taken as an authoritative answer!\n\nPS.  I think it's a really cool thing to have picked up on, and there's a very good reason your doctor didn't go into research. :)

Well...It was pretty terrible to begin with but then it turned out wonderful.  I was abused (not going into details) as a very young child(my brothers were also).  Social Services took us away from our mother when I was 4.  I was in a foster home for 4 years where they were abusive as well.  I was then adopted out of there at 8 yrs old to the most wonderful parents any child could have hoped for.  My brothers were not as fortunate...they were not put into foster homes to be adopted out, they were put into group homes and never found a home. Now 2 of my brothers actually live with my birthmother in Oregon.  She actually had the nerve to ask me to move up there with her so she could have all of her babies together!  She should have thought about her babies when we were fu*#ing babies! u know what i mean?!?!?!?!?! So My childhood was pretty damn shitty until i was8.

I think the ability to be either are put into all of us at birth. My mom works in a hospital and I hear all the time about these miracle babies in the Intensive Care Nursery. The doctors and parents always say "They are really fighting". I believe that you are either born with that or you are not. Also the environment you are raised in can either nurture that or ruin it.

I think that you sure go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau and get some help. The father of your child should be helping you, I would suggest that you take him to court. But the C.A.B would be able to advise you on how you can go about this and they should give you all the help you need

First, get off the racial kick. It will only make you look worse in court and to everyone else.\n\nIf you are trying to get custody away from someone who already has the child, then there is the problem. Courts are not normally willing to take the child away from one parent and just give to the other without significant legal evidence (not just you and word of mouth). Do you have any solid evidence of the drug use and dealing? If not, you are out of luck. To the courts, every Tom, Dick and Harry and female counterparts yell "he's on drugs" when they want to be the custodial parent. They hear it a thousand times a day with no evidence to show for it. Now, if he gets arrested for it and you can get CPS involved, you may have a chance, but you will be investigated too, to make sure that you are living clean yourself. For your sake, I hope you are.
