".. .she became a very happy girl with a smile on her face. She always got on the bus with a smile, her appearance was clean. They always brought her to the bus. When taking her home, she was still smiling and happy to get off the bus, which she wasn't before she lived with them." -our adoption assessment page 12

The children were removed from our care based on lies and fraud, June 25, 2005. This picture was taken July 1, 2005. Alyssa is on the right side of this picture. This day I went to my son's home to see Alyssa and Amber before they went to live with a stranger. When the door was opened Alyssa saw me and said, "Grandpa I want to come back home with you." Amber said, Me too."

I received this picture from my daughter June 28, 2006. When Erica gave me this picture she told me that Alyssa snuck some pictures home with her when she was returned in December 2005. Erica told me that Lacy Gonzales-Borstler (foster worker) called her and wanted the pictures back. Alyssa is the one on the left. Does this picture look like things have been done in her best interest?

Alyssa didn't have any emotional or behavioral concerns while in our care.

When we took Alyssa to see one of CPS' psychologists while she was in our care we were told there isn't anything wrong with Alyssa, "She is a happy normal 5 year old".

Nicole called these children "wild animals" when they were placed in her care.

Now I get to tell you what Newaygo County Child Protection Services (CPS) did to this beautiful young lady. She was emotionally abused by this agency that is suppose to be the protectors of children.

She has been diagnosed with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Social Phobia, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Presently she is taking Prozac...

Wouldn't you consider what was done to Alyssa, child abuse? This was done as they say in her "best interest." When is it ever in a child's "best interest" to be needlessly emotionally abused and then drugged?
