"Justice has no place in our court"
-Michigan Supreme Court
As many may know we have been fighting to adopt our 2 granddaughters Alyssa and Amber. During the past couple years we have learned many a things especially about Newaygo County Child Protection Services, Michigan Department of (un) Human Services, Bethany (un) Christian Services and our upper court systems *.
If you go public and talk about crimes that are committed by our state agencies and adoption agencies you have no chance in our upper court system. Apparently fraud and perjury are acceptable in the upper courts if these crimes are committed by workers of the state or adoption agencies.
What would happen to you and I if we committed these same crimes? Wouldn't we be investigated, charged and sentenced to time behind bars?
May 1, 2008 we appealed the Court of Appeals decision and here is a copy of our brief.

As you will read on page 5 these are the grounds for this appeal.
GROUNDS FOR APPEAL
As will be shown throughout this Application, there are multiple grounds for this appeal:
· Pursuant to MCR 7.302(B)(2), the issue of custody of minor children is one of significant public interest, and the case is one by or against one of the state’s agencies or subdivisions (Department of Human Services);
· Pursuant to MCR 7.302(B)(3), the issue involves legal principles of major significance to the state’s jurisprudence; and
· Pursuant to MCR 7.302(B)(5), the decision of the Court of Appeals is clearly erroneous, as the Court of Appeals substituted its Judgment of the facts for that of the Trial Court and material injustice will result if allowed to stand.
As you will read in the last bullet we are asking for justice. We are denied justice by the Supreme Court by their order from June 13, 2008.
"On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the February 5, 2008 judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court."
By the Supreme Court's own order they are stating that, "Justice has no place in our court."
Furthermore if you read what else was asked from the Supreme Court from the last page of our appeal;
"Additionally, this Honorable Court should also order correction of the mistake of the Court of Appeals in listing the middle name of Amber Keast as Nicole instead of Marie. (Exhibit 18). Though this mistake was pointed out to the Court of Appeals in the Atwoods’ Motion for Reconsideration, the Court of Appeals released its opinion without correcting this error."
You will notice this was not mentioned in the Supreme Court order. This must make one wonder if this appeal was truly read and considered. Is our Supreme Court really lazy and biased as I have been told by others?
* We have learned that our laws, court rules and lower court orders have no bearing at the Court of Appeals. William Johnson, MCI Superintendent, Does Not have to follow orders from the lower courts. The Attorney Generals office DOES NOT have to abide by the court rules. Workers from DHS/CPS, the adoption agencies and the Attorney Generals office can and will get away with committing fraud and/or perjury and the justices from the COA DOES NOT care. The justices from the COA know they can do what ever they want even if it is unjust. Our COA knows the Supreme Court WILL NOT hear a case such as this. There is no equal justice in our higher courts when grandparents fight a foster for their grandchildren.
