I have been waiting a very long time to tell my story and I hope by doing this I can find someone to help me. I feel like I’m trapped in a never ending nightmare that I can’t wake up from. My battle with CPS started in April of 2002 because I was living with my mother in law who wanted my baby girl for herself. So she tried taking her and I fought cps without a lawyer at age 16 for a year and did everything I was asked, I got my baby girl back and thought it was all over… I was wrong! I left my daughter with my mother in law (stupid idea) when her son and myself moved to Colorado to look for a place to live so we could start a new life. Three months later we had to hunt his mother down in Colorado because  she was hiding with my daughter. We got her back and she had bump’s on her bottom that his mother called “eczema” and told me to apply a prescription cream to them, so I was. On December 19th 2003 two day’s after her 2nd birthday, they were still there and I took her to the Dr., turns out it was way more complicated then she said. Somehow in the time i left my baby girl with her and the it took to get her back (3 months) my daughter had contracted genital wart’s. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I was in complete shock. The pediatrician called cps and they called me up to meet them at the police station around 5:00pm that evening, I complied because I did nothing wrong I figured I would be going home with my baby that night, instead they ripped her from my arms and threatened me with child abuse charges if I didn’t let her go. Anyway for the next year I did everything they asked me to do. The only thing I did wrong was miss two court dates but that was because I lived 41/2 hours away from were they took her at and they wouldn’t change venue to were I resided. They terminated my rights in January of 2005. I have not seen or heard from my daughter in six years she will be ten in December and last time I got to hug her and tell her I loved her she was 3 years old. I couldn’t appeal the courts decision because I was never notified of the 45 days to appeal until a year later when I requested copies of all the paper work so I could take it to a lawyer and get my baby back. The lawyer said from reading the paperwork there was no way they should have been able to do what they did but he could do nothing because the had a paper stating they mailed me a notice of the appeal period and there was no way to prove other wise since they had that letter. This haunts me everyday now, all I do is cry and try to figure out a way to see her or find her before she is an adult, I know she doesn’t remember me and I just hope when she find’s out she doesn’t hate or resent me for this. Can anyone help me???
