From a reader:
To all that may be concerned:
I'm writing today as a concerned citizen. I'm concerned for our family and yours. This could be you. In Aug. 2008, Washington State legally kidnapped my niece. I've been fighting for 2 long years to bring her home.
At our last court hearing the state said, "THE PARKS EXERCISED POOR JUDGMENT IN REFERRING TO THEMSELVES AS THE CHILD'S REAL FAMILY." We are her real family! We are now, as of Oct. 4th 2010, COURT ordered not to refer to ourselves as real family. Unbelievable, you would think. Not for judge George Bowden, Everett Washington.
We must fight against this corruption. We are trying to reunite with our family and this judge and the state tell us the foster people are her family now. For 2 years I haven't been recognized as family. The closer we get,(passing home study after home study, meeting all compliance) to bringing our baby home, the harder they work to keep her with paid agents of the state. I'm a certified foster parent and I'm not allowed unsupervised visits! The state has court orders making me pay by the hour to see my niece. I only get one 4 hour visit per month and I live 16 hours away. I'm not allowed to give her gifts, or anything her real family sends. I'm not allowed to have her sisters or brother join the visits, or any other family.
We asked one time to have her cousin a Naval Officer (our son) visit, the answer was no. THIS COULD BE YOU. We need help. We have been told, by this judge' you'll get your day in court. I believe that the state is trying to stop us from ever making it to adoption court.
Have our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS been violated? When the attorney for our biological niece, Kristen ------ of Snohomish County Washington, her advocate, says we are not allowed to refer to ourselves as her REAL FAMILY? And the judge court orders it! We have been dealing with a corrupt department of DSHS (CPS) who are in the business of kidnapping babies for the purpose of fostering them out for adoption, so that they can meet their quota and receive the Federal funding.
We are her biological family, we have been there since the beginning. AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH US. The juvenile court rulings are based on lies, twisted truths, and statutes that don't exist. The state claims the foster people John and Tracey H---- are her family now. The bottom line is WE ARE HER REAL FAMILY. Has this happened to you? What can be done to stop this corruption? Is there anyone willing to help us fight this? Contact us at REAL FAMILY at activeoregon@gmail.com Sincerely Ed and Louise Parks
(Dear Readers: This is happening all over the country. Very few escape the snare. And on the other hand, one child a month dies under the "watchful eye" of CPS.)

What can we do to help? Isn't there a Lawyer out there willing to help these families? Somtimes it isn't about what you mae but what you give back. Please help this family! Has king 5 heard about this? It is so fimiliar to the Stuth story they covered!
Mrs Roach, before commenting on CPS cases and becoming involved in them, do you read the CPS case files?
Madame Senator,
I ( we ) are familiar with this case.
I have the documents and can confirm what Louise is saying.
We are preparing a press release as we speak. Time is to tight to mention in this case.
If I did not see the lies with my own eyes..So much for government transparency.
Why the case is restricted for visit supervisors to input notes is beyond me. They must be e mailed to this SS worker. Is the SS worker putting these notes in the case file for the judge to see?? Highly doubt it. However,they forget that things can be requested and by law they must produce the documents.
Remember the TRUTH is in the records.
They have glowing adoption studies, glowing visit reports, There is also an approved ICPC ( Interstate Compact ) Visit reports with this child are also top notch.
The Department is still doing business as usual. Case workers not telling the truth, GALS not telling the truth.
This case will be as wild as the "Poca case" and the "Stuth case"
and you have my promise on that.
The SS workers have shared confidential information with the foster parents.
They state that the visitation they are providing is not for placement.
Visits have been provided for the last 15 months. I have pictures of the said visits. I only wish that every child could be afforded a family like the Parks.
What is the Departments fear? They are her real family. They aren't following their own policies and guide lines.
This foster parent much like the "Poca case" has made her special needs. The foster parents have also filed their adoption subsidies.
My question is this..WHY are foster parents being paid tax dollars to adopt. That needs to go except in extreme cases. If I were to adopt privately I would get no money. I become the parent and I would be legally responsible for that child's well being. Why are people allowed to adopt without the financial means to support the child?? Is that so the state can can get theses kids out of their hair. It falls pretty close to bribery the way I see it.
Hang in there Louise..WE SHALL PREVAIL. Exposure is in the air. I hear that it gets pretty cold when you are standing naked for all to see!!
Respectfully.
I too was ordered to stay away from my grandson during a custody battle and for the final outcome I am now only allowed supervised visits till he is 18, thanks to some Commissioner in King County Family Court. The worst thing about the situation is that since I am not the parent I have no rights, not even the right to defend myself against such court actions! Family Court is not about “what’s best for the child” it’s about what best for the person with the most money standing before the Judge! As we can all see by this posting it's not just CPS... it's the whole family court system and the Judge's ruling in these cases. The thing with Judge's is that they are elected officials and come up for reelection. I would suggest you find out when and where this guy is going to be for upcoming elections and protest at those meetings letting everyone know what kind of person he is.
Knowing this case: I as well am at awe as to how DSHS ignores laws or twists them to suit their agenda. In records I have reviewed, the SW tries to sway the visit supervisor with slanderous statements(emails) not even close to being believable. Considering one with no standing can not lie in court since they cant even speak in court.Hope that part will flash across national TV.
These are the kind of workers we need to weed out or avoid to begin with.
As for the foster parents. They know from the start that these are not their children. When children have relatives they are the "Real Family". Only a sick, selfish person would ever stand in the way of a child remaining in their family to satisfy their own wants.
Dear Anonymous,
Madame Senator may not have read the records..But I have. I have a stack of legal documents 6 inches thick.
I would imagine that Senator Roach has very trustworthy people working behind the scenes that keep her very informed.So her actually reading the records is not at issue. Others have.
The law is "Families First" Period.
Our homework and private investigations into these cases is completed before we seek outside help in the exposure of the same.
The Parks case does not live in isolation. There are literally thousands just like this one.
So..has the foster parent been promised this little girl? Probably. Is the SS worker and the GAL personal friends with the Foster parent. More than likely is what our records indicate. Does the SS worker bring her personal agenda to this case? Again, secured records indicate this. These records also indicate that this SS worker tells others that Louise Parks lies in court. We all know that a person is only allowed to speak through legal counsel in a courtroom setting. So where does this SS worker get off on saying such things? BECAUSE SHE CAN AND THERE ARE NO REPERCUSSIONS FOR LYING TO THE JUDGE.
The Foster Parents are angry that they had to finally at the last moment file a petition to adopt. It is costing them serious money. The state will not offer them a free attorney in matters such as this. Minimum is 5K. Who knows what the Parks have spent just to keep their family intact.But I can tell you this..it is probably more than 5 times the amount the foster parents have paid.
This is a contested ADOPTION. Family vs. Strangers. The Parks have the credentials. Foster Parents have not given up their Home Study..yet..
Sit down, fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight..This is going to be a very bumpy ride!
Respectfully,
Friends of "THE REAL FAMILY"
Dear Senator,
We also had a glowing home study, not once but twice and one of which was done by the department their selves. The Guardian Ad Litem said what the state has done to our child was UNCONSCIONABLE, here is a comment out of the Guardian Ad Litem's report of which Judge Diane Woolard chose to ignore "Decisions
were made to terminate contact between Shyann and her great-grandmother in spite of nine months of reports from Sydney Boren of the positive relationship the two had. She now has no contact with the two
adults who raised her from birth and has little contact with her brothers, She is now described by hercurrent foster mother as the “most compliant child” she has ever met. She sucks her thumb at age 6, clings
to her foster mother and draws pictures of herself without arms – I suspect demonstrating a lack power. She offers to help around the house and in the kitchen, readily forgives the other children if they do something to offend her – I suspect in an effort to make sure she is not plucked from this home and dropped
somewhere else. I am reminded of the Stockholm Syndrome. In my opinion, what has happened to Shyann
Hail since the Department removed her from the Lambrecht’s home is unconscionable.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that SHYANN HAIL be returned to the custody of !!!!!and !!!!! !!!!!! as soon as reasonably possible and that their adoption of this child be granted without
further delay. This Judge worked for CPS herself and is a member of the "Task Force for CPS", would you say that it is a conflict of interest? These people are CORRUPT and need to be stopped once and for all. So even when the GAL report is good the judge and the department totally ignore it and want to adopt this child outside of her family. We are talking CORRUPT, CORRUPT, And CORRUPT. We also have about 300 signatures and principle and teachers, Doctor and Priests all know that we are good Grandparents but the state wishes to make money off of these children and ruin families and continue to lie in court. We have had glowing reports from the supervised visits also and the Counseling place falsified their records and lied about my husband, I also have videos and pictures of my visits of which were all good. The state is just plain EVIL AND IT WILL COME OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.aFTER OUR COURT DATE THIS LITTLE HAS NO CONTACT WITH HER BROTHERS.
Thank you Senator Roach,

To Respectfully, For someone with so much information, you know little. First off, the foster family in this case is more than capable of supporting this little girl. Families that adopt through the state have their court costs reimbursed because most adoptive families don't want these "damaged" kids. Subsidies after the final adoption go to cover medical and mental appointments and each case is looked at and evaluated before any subsidy is given. For instance, the severe drug exposure, neglect, and malnutrition that our now 6 year old daughter suffered as an infant has caused extreme damage to nearly all of her baby teeth, at least those the dental surgeons were able to save. It is estimated that she will need a minimum of 3 sets of braces, in addition to possibly needing false teeth. How much? Probably around $40,000 dollars. You high and mighty folks don't even have that kind of cash laying around...
As for the title of REAL familiy. Are you kidding me? Why is it that the Parks are not rejoicing that this little girl was placed with a loving family who welcomed her, has ongoing contact with her older sister, and who is willing to be her forever family. Yes, I get that the Parks also want her but I also know a little about the case and they are being very one-sided in their complaints. Foster homes get a bad rap and understandably so. However, there are some great ones too. We have had 18 babies in 4 years and continue to be mentors for families and die hard advocates for the kids. Mrs. Roach should have gotten the full story before deciding to blog on a case that will certainly get tail feathers wagging. In our liberal state of Washington, the title of family is constantly under attack. Speaking like a do-gooder, why not be happy that she has lots of family? Why the title of real? Our adopted son and daughter are not are "fake" or our "real" children. Nor are we their "real" parents. They are our kids, we are their parents...stop whining about stupid stuff and get a life. You want to make a difference in the system then go become a foster parent or a CASA. You want to see kids win, then start demanding the system to put kids before parents. There is so much potential good people can do but they are too busy whining about and judging those who actually are making a difference.
Remember God's promise in 1 Peter: "Humble yourselves, therefore,
under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all
your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV).
Kristen has a Father in heaven who loves her. Through Jesus Christ all Truths are always revealed. All authority comes from God.
"Mrs Roach, before commenting on CPS cases and becoming involved in them, do you read the CPS case files?"
By law your not allowed to read the files noone is but the judges lawyers and so called "child protection workers" They work in secrecy.
It's scary if you think about it... the only other people who require absolute secrecy around children to "do their thing" is pedophiles.
Oddly enough many people are suing CPS in many places for being sexual abused and worse while being "Protected".
I am one of such people. CPS stole me from my family and sold me to pedophiles... not just once but 4 times....I was adopted and given back by pedophiles? Why? They said I was to much to handle.. the reality is I wouldn't keep a secret.
Trust me 10 years in the system and you learn, these people are not here to help you, they are here to help themselves. And couldn't tell the truth to save a life.
Mrs. Roach, It is obvious how one sided you are to post the above comment that has nothing to do with the Parks case and not post the comment I left yesterday. Please post both sides! I get that you don't like CPS and I completely agree. The system is so broken down and mixed up that kids will only continue to get hurt. However, there are great foster homes out there. We have not ever "bought" a child, any that we have sent back to family or the 2 we adopted. In fact, the $423 per month we receive for a child's basic care is almost laughable. That works out to about $1.50 per hour...to clothe, feed, drive to visitations etc. That also is how we are supposed to buy diapers and formula. Consider please, the hardest job you have ever had...how much hourly did you make? Now, consider what I do...I take newborn babies through drug withdrawl. They scream in agony and can't handle stimulation. If they do get over stimulated they projectile vomit and tremor. I don't get paid bathroom breaks or lunch, no days off, no union protecting my rights. You get the idea.
You can't make a difference with a closed mind. If you want to see change you have to engage people and inspire them to also make a difference. In four and a half years my husband and I have talked with numerous people and have had 7 fellow Christian families...all wonderful people, get involved with the foster system. Please get past your negative view of foster homes and be thrilled knowing that at least some of the kids in the system are better off where they are then they could be anywhere else. "Kristen" is such a child. Did the Parks tell you that they don't believe the bio dad molested the girls, even though the older girls were who reported him and led to his conviction? Did they tell you that because they don't believe, they would allow him contact with "Kristen", potentially making her a victim of sexual abuse? Did they tell you that the foster family has been this child's home for nearly 2 years? Please do some research on attachment disorders; you will see that it would be detrimental to this sweet little girl's life to yank her out of the only home she knows. The Parks are being selfish; they want her and will do and say anything to get her. She is not a posession. She doesn't belong to anyone, but she at a very minimum deserves to stay with a loving home, with the people she calls mom and dad, to continue to grow and thrive in a safe environment. This is a reasonable family that engaged with the Parks and Louise screwed it up. Louise needs to step back and for once, put her niece first.

To the family going through this, we recently went through the same thing with our neice and WON! Please contact me at (425)334-4902. I do know an attorney who will help you.
Senator Roach KNOWS what is going on in the system. It`s usually the same story, different names. She helps make laws that aren`t being followed. She is one of the few who care and that`s why she doesn`t hesitate to state her opinion. She will help people who are not in her district. I am not in her district and she took the time to call me a few times to find out what was going on and I got some good advice from her. And to be told by her that laws were broken and the child should not have been taken from us kept me from giving up. We`re talking about laws being broken and small children suffering because of it. It`s not the family`s fault the child was taken from the parents. The children have the right to be with their families if there is approved family members to take them. How does it make it ok for the child to be placed for 2 or 3 years with relatives and then yanked from the only home they`ve known to be placed with a fanily who had their order in for a child? I wouldn`t make negative comments about Senator Roach. You may be the next to need her help!!
I am very personally familiar with this story. Louise is my sister-in-law (my husband's sister) and from the very beginning the State of WA has stood in the way of Louise and Ed's attempts to bring our niece back into her "Real" family. I really can't understand how this injustice is happening!! Is kidnapping by the state allowed?....(guess so, they just call it Child Protective Services)
Jessie, You said:
"By law your not allowed to read the files noone is but the judges lawyers and so called "child protection workers"
I am telling you that you can read the records. It is called a "FOIA" Stands for "Freedom of Information Act." You would need to fill out a special form at your local DSHS office..Titled.."Request for records" And the department must by law respond to you within 5 days to tell when you can expect the records that you requested. Usually it is 90 days.
You said:
"It's scary if you think about it... the only other people who require absolute secrecy around children to "do their thing" is pedophiles"
I would whole heartedly agree with you on that.
You said:
"Oddly enough many people are suing CPS in many places for being sexual abused and worse while being "Protected".
We know this happens allot. There are many of us out here that are trying to change the system so this happens no more. The people that live in the "Ivory Tower" don't want to believe this is happening to you. They do not want to believe that the foster parents that were entrusted to care for you can do such things. We know how real this is..I am sobbing for you as I read this..that you..a child should have to live this..forever..If I would have known..I would have done something!
The State of Washington DSHS is ultimately responsible for your care. If someone abuses you in care, please contact Law Enforcement. The Department will just try to cover it up because of their liabilities.

"I am one of such people. CPS stole me from my family and sold me to pedophiles... not just once but 4 times....I was adopted and given back by pedophiles? Why? They said I was to much to handle.. the reality is I wouldn't keep a secret."
Oh sweet child..my heart does so ache for what you have been through.
Madame Senator Roach can put you through to me. I would be proud to be able to assist you in anyway I can.
If you were my child I would hug you about now and tell you that I will always be there for you.
Respectfully
I don't know about this story but this judge doesn't know the definition of "real mother". Let me tell you a little bit. A real mother begans to sacrifice from the day of conception to act in the best interest of her unborn baby. A real mother makes sure she eats right, takes care of her health to hopefully have a successful pregnancy. A real mother than has to worry about the everyday stresses in life in how to pay for diapers, formula, clothes, a roof over their heads, food on the table and child care. A real mother often sacrifices time with her children in order to hopefully provide a better future for herself and her children and is not always successful but at least tried. A real mother does not have the luxury of turning to a state legislature for money. You are not in the same category as a real mother if you have not had these worries!
We are supposed to have freedom of speech. I guess children in foster "care", are going to be taught the stork delivered them. They, CPS should be abolished. Now!! Enough of their horror story.
All this child abuse hysteria is fueled by the foster care and adoption industries. Until we can get real laws in place to protect families, put the children in orphanages. No more foster homes or State sponsored adoption.Children should not be given out like they are spoils of war. The people never voted to have foster homes and adoption, it was quietly imposed on the country.
RE:
Mrs Roach, before commenting on CPS cases and becoming involved in them, do you read the CPS case files?
___________________________________
Children's social files are filled with lies to justify termination of parental rights so that CPS may commodify children into state services and foster care.
This is perpetrated by the myth that there exists a child abuse epidemic. 99.6 percent of all biological families do not abuse or neglect their children. Only 13 children in 100,000 suffer abuse or neglect in some manner within nuclear biological families.
The epidemic is perpetrated by CPS putting so many children unnecessarily in foster care where one third or 33,000 per 100,000 are physically abused !
GET THE PICTURE ?
Senator Roach believes children should be protected and only wants accountability and transparency in child welfare.
This is almost the same deal as we encountered after trying to adopt my grandniece. As a relative, you were used as a "holding place" while DSHS collected upwards of $6-8000 per month and paid you little or nothing, while raking in the rest for themselves. They pressure you into adoption while making plans to take the child from you and selling her to whomever is the highest bidder.
On purpose the CASA and DSHS AND the "defense" lawyer will "forget" to tell the parents who still have rights that they can simply sign over guardianship to you AND still keep their rights while giving you the same rights. (sniff, sniff) unfortunately, the reason they "forget" is because (Waaaaahhh!) it will take all of them, the family court judge, their "consultants", the "defense lawyer or Public Pretender, foster care, all non-profits (which are REALLY raking in the dough), CASA and everyone else OUT FROM ALL THAT MONEY. Isn't that sad? Who cares about the kid I WANT MY PAYCHECK!!! Waaaaah!
I am not making this up all are paid out of the same money, Title IV, Medicaid, TANF, and food stamps and I have done the research that is backed up by HHS in DC, DSHS in Olympia, even Secretary Dreyfus admits that family preservation is 1000% less funded than taking little kids.
And never forget ALL of them depend on your niece being sold. Many of the judges are on Adoption agency boards themselves who also rake in thousands per child they take, so funneling them to these agencies is not even looked into as a "conflict of interest" at all.
So when they say it is "in the best interest of the child" (never legally defined), they really means in truth it is "in the best interest of my wallet" for all of them. Cat in Seattle
