Lilly will go either to her maternal grandparents who raised her from birth to age 3 before the department illegally took her from her family...
or, she will go to her paternal great-grandparents who are caring for her at this time...
or, there is an outside chance that she will go back to her mother who was tricked into terminating her rights by the department.
One week ago Friday, July 3, 2009, we found out that Lilly was learning to spell her "new" last name...the name of the great-grandparents. Last week the department told the greats that placement did not necessarily mean permanency with them. The department told them that, in my opinion, to project the appearance of fairness. In reality...the department has decided to give the child to the great-grandparents! But, they have to take it step-by-step to avoid further criticism.
The first home study, that was full of lies, was the reason that the child was taken from the grandparents.Since the department has acknowledged that the first home study on the grandparents was flawed..."the opinions of mankind" (that is taken from the Declaration of Independence) force them to at least finish the second home study before they assign the child.
Hello...the fact that a new home study was ordered...and that they took the child because of the first home study... opens the government to liability. If they do the right thing and return the child to the grandparents or the mother, then taxpayers will have to pay less in the end. This family and child have been harmed by the department's actions.
I called DSHS Sec. Susan Dreyfus to tell her I thought it was down-right cruel of the department to be doing another in-home study of the maternal grandparents, get their hopes up after having been lied about in the first report...only to have them learn that the new in-home study was just another sham. Our conversation lasted one hour.

Pam, It's funny how quickly they act in some cases. Take the Stuth case, it took the Stuth's two years and all their savings to get their grandaughter back home. If not for the issues with the foster parent, the Stuth's never would have seen their grandaughter again! Now in lilly's case, the only reason the great grandparents have lilly is because they do fund raisers for Rob McKenna, and are a big contributor to his campaign!
That is why the great grandparents have lilly and not the grandparents whom raised her from birth. I hope everyone reading this blog remembers this come election time. DSHS hides behind the AG's office who backs and protects these liars who destroy families! Knowing that they are lies! To me this is criminal! And this goes to show you, it's all about who's padding the pocket.
