FATHER TO MY TWIN SONS JOSEPH AND GEORGE.I HAD BEEN LOOKING AT POSTS

NOT GET TO SEE THEM AT ALL.THEY WERE ADOPTED OUT RIGHT AT BIRTH.NOT MY
DOING NOR SHANNON'S(FIREDRAGON1976) DOING.CHILD WELFARE TOOK OUR SPECIAL
LITTLE GUYS AWAY FROM US.I MISS MY SONS SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO TELL
MYSELF EVERY DAY TO BE STRONG FOR THEM AND WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE OF LEGAL
AGE FOR CONTACT FROM US TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH.I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THEY
WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MOM AND DAD DID NOT GIVE THEM UP WITHOUT A FIGHT.

LITTLE BIT.

((((((((((((((Joe)))))))))))))))
thanks for sharing with us
and I hope your day gets better

my god i am so sorry. i know what its like to be away from children cus
my ex and i live on opposite sides of the country and kids have to go
back and forth. i cant imagine goin years like that. just remember you
are still a good father because even though it is out of your control
that they are not with you. you are with them in your heart and soul.
you are a good father because you love them and think of them and want
them. the season will come for you to be reunited and i pray that their
hearts will be open for you. be strong.

THANKS C.I APPRECIATE THAT ALOT.

HEATHERRAE i say thank you from the bottom of my "so-called"black
heart.alot of people call me black/no hearted arsehole.but i know that i
am not.

Sorry about your loss, but I have a question. It seems to me child
welfare cannot adopt your children at birth without a signature from one
or both parents. I have a friend who had her child taken by child
services and has been in the foster care system on and off for 7 yrs.
My friend was a drug addict. So, how can people have their kids adopted
without permission?

they had a court order.they also lied in court in regards to me.

yeah i know i miss them too joe but we will see them one day we may have
missed the firsts in their lives but will be there for the rest thats
what keeps me going as long as i know that im ok

thank you everyone for posting.i appreciate your posts.

I'm sorry I'm a little late on posting... I haven't been on in a good
while now. You have my sympathy. You do have a strong will but you are
not a black/ no hearted areshole!! Your an awesome friend!! My best
friend is going through the same thing right now. She wants to move down
here with me but her ex in-laws are trying to take her little girl away.
They are monsters, they let their son do horrible things to her little
girl and they fill her head with lies. The system is always taking away
kids from the good parents. Just remember I'm here for you Joe

sorry to hear. I hope someday your children will understand. I hope
they know you love them with all your heart!
