I need to speak to a counselor about the adoption of my children. My court appointed attorney from that department in the adoption case informed me there was nothing she could do to "save my children" when I informed her that my daughters grandmother who adopted her, gave my 3 1/2 year old a cigarette to try. I was put off and ignored as a mother with "sour grape" against the people adopting my children when the state got tired of dealing with my case and just wanted it closed. Now my children live with a grandmother pulling my small sons hair as punishment and offering my small daughter cigarettes. There own children have accused the now adopted father of my children of rape. Because of their lack of concern my children are now babysat by an aunt who has been in a mental institution for manic depression, suicidal tendencies, and bi polar disorder. Who on a regular basis refuses to take her medication for attention. All supposedly due to the after effects of the rape by her father and brother. This is where my children currently reside. Their uncle has burned my possessions and their father has shot a 22 rifle at me while I've lived with them. I 've been made to carry water to do dishes in the grandparents house and told if I wanted to see my children I would do what I was told. These instances go on and on throughout the guardianship and adoption of my children. I know am no longer allowed to see my children once the adoption was final. But until that time even lived with them to care for my children because the grandmother refused to get up at night with my infant children. I was their guardian even while they were placed in their grandparents care. I could go on about how my daughter was given powdered infant formula and laughed at while she vomited. But I feel I still wouldn't be heard. Even though I'm the only person who would know this better than any counselor or Judge who did not live it.
