What a beautiful thought and vision!!! This is a blessing and I'm proud to be apart of this group... for I fell victim to the scandal of "child protective services" But I'm still blessed to have them in my life. Changing negative into positive can be difficult sometimes, but it can be done!!!! Thanks Mr Hodge

I support this because my fiance was adopted when he 3yrs old.. he claims to remember everything which in my book is sad.. he goes on to tell me that even though when he got adopted it may have been best for him but as a child growin up each day you always wonder who your real parents are. He almost 30yrs old n he still searches for the whom, and why the decision was made n 2 let them know how it affected him n how he feels I fight this battle with him each and every day.. the hurt won't die until he gets that closure. As good as a idea it is 2 take children away from There parents its also a bad 1 because in his case n others once they find out that the people who raised them wasnt there real parents their heart is ripped, n mind wonders until they get the answers they seek. N each fail in finding their parents increases the pain. By Faith I hope my fiance is reunited with parents. Thank u Thuggizzle :)

I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to be apart of this. I believe God MUST play an essential role in this work. Before anyone can attempt to reunite with their children who have been taken anyway from them by mans law, they first need to evaluate themselves and there behavior based on what GOD's law requires from a parent. Everything needed to reunite families is in HIS Word.

Sheryl I have read some of the post and although I have never experienced this, I have experienced losing my son to murder. I pray that what I learned as a Mother addicted to drugs, living my life without one consideration for how it would affect my children would be a source of encouragement and empowerment for those whom it will. If you would allow me to tell you those lessons, I would glady do it. If not, I understand and I will continue to pray for each one of you. God Bless you

I grew up in the system... never want my children to experience that feeling. After missing a dental appointment, they called CPS on me for ( medical neglect). A worker showed up at my house and within 10 minutes of being treated like a trespassing immigrant she closed the case that day! I and my siblings were wards of the state many times, foster parents, shelters... family- polezze! God is good and walked with us every step of the way, thank him for his presence and for the perseverance of our mother :-)

BrandiThanks for adding me its touch me I lost my mother at the age of 10. Was placed with my dad & stepmother who was very abusive to me and my twin sister and 3 brothers. I finally had enough and reported it to my school counselor next min. Me & my twin sister are placed in state custody seperated from our older brothers. I would like to share my experience because its wasnt a good one. Growin up in the system can be hard on every child. I wasnt able to go to sleep overs or any school activities. Friends what friends. Felt like i wasnt aloud friends. Felt like I was locked away from the world. Everytime i cried they forcing me to swallow a pill. Or if i act up sending me to state hospital. I wasnt a trouble child just sad, felt abandoned and unwanted. So i think its,a beauiful things to help parents reunite. I wish i had this kind of help. I was finally awarded custody to my aunt freshman yr of highschool and she has been wonderful to me

Hello every one......
I read sum of ur stories & there really touching cuz I hear similar stories with teens I wrk with. I never was placed n CPS but was given up for adoption through an agency no longer open when I was 3 months old by my mother..... The family that adopted me made sure I had what I needed to survive but many times were extremely abusive..... Mentally & Physically..... not really knowing my true family, I ran away at 15 to live with my biological fathers..... grass ain't always greener on the other side..... He was a serious heroin user who wud steal my money & use drugs n my presence.... After havin no one to turn to I became pregnant becuz I was lookin for luv frm another kid such az I was.... My Father put me out at 7 or 8 months with no where to go or any family I lived on the steps of an elementary for about a month right across the street frm my dads house..... There was a lady that notice me going into the school yard everyday, she & her family asked me over to dinner one evening & I never left.... Tho' this family & I had sum uncomfortable days they stayed by my side helping me through my worst times as a teen..... I tell my story to the kids I wrk with that hve run away... To give other ppl a try & never be so quick to judge..... They cud be the best thing for ur life at the time :-)

I had CPS called on me saying I neglected my boys. They showed up Christmas Eve 2010. I was an still am married an we have a daughter who was 3 at the time. No allegations were made towards my husband or about my daughter just me an my two boys who are not biologically his. My husband's ex girlfriend tried to get my boys taken from me and me in jail saying "I beat my boys,they looked neglected like they never took baths or ate,an I used dope." Case worker came into my house while my kids were "bathing" unannounced. Looked at them talked to them looked at my full fridge an cabinets an walked around my house an drugged tested me with a mouth swob. When we got done talking she walked out turned around an said "I'm sorry I'm just doing my job an I'll close the case as soon as possible I can tell these are false allegations. " it's sad what low things pple will do to hurt others. My kids are MY WORLD!!!! You come into my house you will see that from the front door. I'm a stay home mother an wife have been since August of 2008 my kids are in every sport,school activity. I volunteer at every function they have.Without my babies I'm nothing.
ChristopherIn life you go through ups and downs but is all about if you can get back on your feet other people are doing worst than me.. That's how i look at it and that gives me the strength i need to keep pushing with looking at the positive side/ prayer with leading a helping hand not looking to receive but just to help that person out due their situation or, whatever it maybe.. #My Thoughts

One time I met a young boy who had been displaced because his mom was on the run from her family. Whenever there would be a "friends and family day" at his youth house he would ask...."would you be my mother today?" It broke my heart, but I wouldn't let him see my tears....I turned to him and said "of course...but, one day someone is going to come and look for you"....about 2 years later his family finally found him and he remembered what I said to him. He looked up at me and said, "you always told me they'd come for me".....the joy he and his family felt when they located him and when he knew that there were people who knew and loved him WAS PRICELESS TO SEE....I pray they are all still together!

AguilarAlthough it feels like I've been through hell and back, I'm grateful to learn through my experiences in this journey of life. When I looked back and I saw the footsteps in the sand I knew that it was the Lord that carried me through my most darkest moments when I almost gave up on myself. He has a plan for everyone. Sometimes it will take us a lifetime to figure it out but once we have that spiritual awakening is when we can start puting the pieces together and the key to the puzzles end up right in front of us when we least expect it. Everything happens for a reason. Iv'e learned to let go and Trust GOD because he has the final say so towards our future. If it was'nt meant to be then It is meant to be unfortunately.. But remember the Lord does work in mysterious ways so we will be amazed leaving us caught up in a daze and your answer will come if you continue to Praise..~MeRs1! Spiritual Moments~

I want to share one experience with God, I have encountered at a time. But let me give the last encounter first. A man that I grew up around the corner from and have known most of my life. Had vanished for a week. He is 57 and his family and friends were very frightened.
The day before they found him,I was in my car praying. I said God,I know you are working around the world. But today we need your help. There are so many people very concerned. I couldn't even imagine if this were my father or mother. I pray he found alive and doing well. No matter the case,if is injured or dead. Please free the hearts of his family and friends.
The following afternoon it was on the news. That he had been found. I personally believe. It was due to my prayer and many other's. Eternally grateful. Always! Amen!

CoreyOn today, do not give up hope. Do not throw in the towel. God is walking with you. The list of to dos may seem long, time may seem short, people on your side may seem few, but it is at that critical moment when God makes Himself known. God wants you to give your entire life and being to Him. Not just the stuff that you feel you can't handle but everything (job, relationships, health, finances) Everything (Matt 11:28)

Hear Rocky's story on having his child removed from his home and working on reuniting with his daughter.
We All Make Mistakes Some Bigger Than Other's But No Matter What We Are All Human. Rocky's Story Is One That Needs To Spread Around So That Parents That Are In Similar Situations Can Know That Just Because Their Kids Have Been Removed From The Home Doesn't Mean That You Have To Give Up. Fight For Your Kids. We Need More Parents And Less Systems

ToiLet your past be just that your PAST, God has forgiven you so why are you still holding on to it? Let's ALL pray for one another!

Ernette
Hi im ernette im asking for prayer for me and my family everytime I make it through one storm here comes another but I will keep the faith and stay strong because this is not my battle no weapon formed against me shall prosper im gods child and all my prayer will be answered in Jesus name amen and thanks in advance

Freya
Sometimes we think just becuase Jesus is in our heart, that our lives will be smooth sailing. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have lived in a "war-zone" my entire life, but Jesus has given me a strong countanance and faith to perservere. I have found that the storms pass, then another appears and we learn; not fun at all, but God is bigger than any storm and Jesus can "calm" the storms and turn them into a peacefull sea. I will stand with you in faith and beleive the storms you are experiencing will be replaced by calm waters. God bless uou, Freya Pruitt

Just because you don't see God moving in your life right now doesnt mean HE is not. Know HE is a God that never sleeps nor slumbers, and that HE has the solutions to all your problems..He know what the future has for you because HE haas already planned it. And bae bae....you win!!

To believe in god with everything. You have and still not see the light at the end of this struggle is kinda breath taking but i press on so please. Pray that he reveals. His glory on my behalf according. To his will and purpose.

I wanted you to know that after leaving an abusive relationship i found it hard to trust men & feel they can do anything right. Of course that changd as I grew I accepted my life as it was now given to me. I really appreciate you as a young man (or anyone making a difference after hardships) that easily could have blamed everyone else for your struggles BUT decided this route instead. That's something to look up to even for me. So I'm following your lead as motivation to get out everything I feel awareness should be @ the for front like you have..THANK YOU!!! Hope to meet you one day:)
JenniferSoooo much on my mind....the weight of it all keeps me from sleep....what do U say to someone when there are no ADEQUATE engh words to be spoken???? U jst say Lord Im surrendering it all to YOU.....then U let GO & then U let GOD!!!!.....#standingonmyfaith
|
BrandonAfter every struggle is a testimony...instead of complaining about bad times,let's turn it around ,and rejoice about every negative situation that's brought upon us..God allows these storms to come our way to move us to the places we need to go and to also helps us with the renewal of our minds also..So, I thank god for my struggles today ,because after every test,you either get a passing grade are you fail..Let's pass Yall..Amen
