“I’ll never forget
that horrible day. From our kitchen window my wife, Kathy, and
I saw all kinds of government vehicles pulling up around our
house. Before we knew it, agents from the Department of Social
Services were there knocking at our door. They said they had a
court order to take our kids and place them into permanent
adoption. I couldn’t believe what was happening to us! Kathy
broke down sobbing. Our children panicked. What did we do? I
protested but nobody listened. The social workers were more
like the gestapo. They wanted our kids and that was that! They
knew we were innocent but, as I found out, bi-racial children
bring a handsome bonus in the North Carolina adoption system.
What I’ve learned about the Mecklenburg County Department of
Social Services has made me a target. Today, my life is in
danger. It’s been nearly two years since we’ve seen or heard
from our girls and boys. I can’t take it anymore! I’ve been
sent to jail, threatened and ordered by the court to shut my
mouth because I know too much. I’m a man with no other choice
now. All I want is my family back. My only hope now is defy
the court and speak out!” |
