"The girls' foster mother, Nicole Coppess, said she is definitely considering adopting the Alyssa and Amber. She discussed concerns over being able to financially care for them. We discussed subsidy as she was unaware of this help."

American Heritage Dictionary - considering

To think carefully about. To look at thoughtfully.

All of the forms I received were signed January 31, 2007 by Nicole I didn't get a copy of the Adoption Application. When we starts our adoption assessment the application was signed the same time as the other forms so... this brings me to the fraudulent information that was provided.

If Nicole didn't sign form to start her adoption assessment until Jan. 31, 2007,  then how could she have contacts about her adoption assessment before that date? In fact Suzanne Adams provided contacts as early as June 2006 and most of our contacts during our assessment are on Nicole's assessment for her contacts. Fraudulent information?

Now I will talk about the adoption request forms that were sent to MCI. This was sent on an expedited basis and in order to do that there are several things that must be true.

The recommended family is the only family requesting to adopt the child. There are no competing families for adoption. That box was checked as true.  Now Suzanne knew for a fact that when checking that box she was not providing accurate information. She knew there was a competition as she was told from the start of our adoption assessment we will never quit fighting to get our granddaughters back. During our case conference with Bethany in November 2006 they were all told we will be fighting to get our granddaughters back. Suzanne was present during the section 45 hearing on Feb. 7, 2007 in fact I believe she was sent a subpoena.

The below isn't part of the expedited part of the form but...

Description of the family process and preparation of the child. (If adopting family has been recruited). This box was not checked. It was made clear from the beginning DHS wanted Nicole to adopt but she refused.

In the August 9, 2006 transcript this is what Lacy stated about Nicole.

" She does not feel it's in their best interest for her to be the adoptive  parent. She believes that those children need a two-parent family. I wish she would reconsider, but that's not going to happen."

It is clear she was recruited as she was asked to adopt on many occasion and didn't want to. After it was apparent we were going to adopt our granddaughters then she was finally talked into the adoption just to try and keep us from adopting.

It seems to me if a person is committed to an adoption they wouldn't have to be pressured or talked into it.

Nicole had concerns she wasn't capable of financially able to care for these children then, how is she able to afford these court battles? My opinion, DHS talked Nicole into this battle to keep us from adopting and would pay for Nicole's legal fee's if she agreed.
