Good News!

After many setbacks, frustrations and tears, we finally have some good news to report. After several court dates where CPS did nothing more than stall, the judge ordered that Cheyenne be placed (temporarily) with Laurie's Grandmother. We are SO RELIEVED!

Originally, CPS was trying to bypass family reunification and adopt Cheyenne out. They tried their best at bad-mouthing both Scott and Laurie, but each time their attorney asked what proof they could present, and they had none. Only empty accusations. The judge even commented on the apparent vindictiveness of the CPS representatives saying she couldn't understand their reasoning. Even after Laurie's Grandmother was cleared for foster care, they still fought family placement while spouting empty accusations. In the end, the judge reiterated there was no proof of their allegations, and granted family placement. PRAISE GOD!

There are still numerous hurdles we must clear, but we are encouraged. Please keep us in your prayers and ask your friends to pray for us too. The legal expenses have topped $20,000. If there is anything at all you can do to help financially, we would be eternally grateful.

Thank you again for caring, praying and supporting us. You are appreciated!!!

Perry (Scott's father)
