One Day At a Time

 I live one day at a time, I write one day at a time and we can only hope for progress one day at a time.  Baby steps, but everything has to start somewhere...  

 This journey, this blog's journey, has started with 4Kids4Families prolonging my DFPS case.  Intentionally or not?  Debatable.  But definitely cruel and heartless practice.  I complained, I cried, I tried to reach out to their souls and it got me to rejection after rejection to the change of their main goal to adoption of my youngest daughter for "non-compliance" with whatever it is their "compliance" means. 

My heart was breaking in pieces, I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but...  I chose to move to this country and my child is not at war.  I chose to live in civilization and not in the woods.  My husband and I chose to marry each other with all the baggage that comes with all the surrounding relationships of our lives and now we are forced to choose between our older children and our youngest child.  

I have learned that those that are closest to you can hurt you the most because you don't see it coming. 

Seeing the positive and seeing the possibility of the light at the end of this tunnel keeps me going one day at a time.  I am not trying to make unrealistic goals here.  I will do this one day at a time for as long as needed to get the attention of that One person who can make DFPS reform happen.  I write, you read, someone talks, someone hears, and someone out there is waiting to hear this, waiting to help and wanting to make this wrong right. 

This is 2025 - DFPS reform is a must!  We make baby steps progress towards multiple freedoms every day, we have to figure out and find a way to get our freedom back to raise our children, to stop fighting the system, to stop taking children for "reason to believe", to stop these cruel separations, to stop this intentional infliction of emotional distress and parental alienation.  Our kids deserve better, our kids should not be scared that they will be at any moment taken by strangers, this is not Nazi occupied territory, this is a free country, this is United States of America and we need to get our laws in sink with our constitutional freedoms and human rights.  

I ask that we all protect and fight for our right to raise our children in peace one day at a time: with words, with calls, with support and knowledge.  

One day at a time is all it takes to make a big difference over time.

Innocent Tears Act

  PROPOSED BI LL TO BE ENTITLED INNOCENT TEARS ACT By Marina Burroughs INTRODUCTION The proposed Bill is in relation to the procedures for taking possession of a child by the Department of Family and Protective Services and is dedicated to my child, K. B. who fell a victim of the flawed system and has suffered the hardest heartbreak of her life and a life-long trauma at such a young age. No child should be a victim of the system that was put in place to protect the children. Parents are not criminals and deserve to be treated as such - the most important people in the child’s life.  Not many parents truly neglect and abuse their children, those that do end up having serious criminal charges.  No child and no parent should have to go through unwarranted separation unless there is serious sufficient physical evidence to suggest that the child is being neglected and/or abused. Hearsay allegations and simply stating “it’s in the best interest of the child” must not be suffici...

Bill of Rights Optional

In my dealings with DFPS I appear to have no rights.  Not only I have no right to life, liberty, fare prosecution, Grand Jury, being secure in my person, house, property or effects, but I don't even have the right to be silent! Don't even mention second amendment because you will never get your child back! There is nothing voluntary about the relationship where oppressors take your child, take all your freedoms and fight with unlimited funds at their disposal to not give your freedoms and your child back.  So through these dealing with DFPS I cannot help but to question: Is the Bill of Rights optional?  Is it sort of like an old Diploma that you hang on the wall in the office with the degree that is not even relevant to your actual position so we can show off to the whole world: "Look, We the people have the Bill of Rights!"  ....that we can choose to follow or not to follow... I guess that is also a part of the freedoms we have.  What good are those rights if w...

The Flow

Like with everything else in life there are different perspectives out there about going with the flow.  On one hand if you go with the flow you are going through your life with the least resistance, spending the least amount of energy and having the least amount of stress so it seems; on the other hand some say if you go with the flow you will end up at the bottom of the hill often in the big pile of sludge.  Going with the flow can be considered a sign of trust in higher power or a sign of giving up, weakness and laziness.  Just like everything else in life every situation requires unique evaluation.  If all individuals are unique than all the situations involving all the different unique individuals require unique solutions .  If I'm going with the flow and all of a sudden there is a bunch of trash flowing around me - it's probably time to get out of the stream.  What we do forget that there isn't just one flow and one spring, one river and one current o...
