My story

My name is Kimberly Kelley. I am 19 and I was acussed of beating my 2 month old,And now at 4 months she is in foster care with a family I don't know. I want to also bring to attention that on October 30th AFTER I TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS FOR THE BRUSES!! I was sent to the hospital with her for the brususes. I had lied at the hospital, My husband was doing something with the army and I didn't know if he was leaving that day and I was alone in the hospital not able to call anyone I was scared and I wanted pity and a chance to call someone and to have someone with me, so I said that my husband was leaving for Iraq. I know that it was wrong and I did come clean. And I understand that your family leaving for Iraq is not something that should be toyed with. I don't know how long she will be there or when, if ever, I can see her again. This christmas is her first christmas and I don't know if I get to spend it with her. They do not believe anything I or my husband say. They do not believe that a 4 month old can move. She does not cry alot, only when she is hungrey, tired, wants to be held or if she wants a pacifier. She is the lest stressful child I have ever met, And the hardest part is that she is my only child. Even thou I am 19 she was planned. They have used my young age and my lack of a High School Diploma, and a job against me. I live at home with my mom untill Shane comes home from Basic. I am married and my husband is in the US.ARMY. I have more support then alot of people and they have been behind me the whole time, and yes at times in front of me. I do not have anger problems. I have taken anger managment classes. I have been diagnosed with OCD. I see a theripist once a week. I have done everything they have asked me to do. My daughter will be getting her second set of shots and I will not be there to comfort her. I have let them drag me thru the mud and back. And it is now time that my story gets herd and I begin to fight for what I truly believe in... MY DAUGHTER NEEDS TO BE AT HOME WITH HER MOTHER AND FATHER!!!! My daughter,Evyn, has had 2 sets of bruises on her face. October 30th was from when my husband and I tryed to suck out her nose with an asperator, we are aware that we pushed to hard on her face and that was a mistake on our part being new parents.WE THEN TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS,IF WE HADN'T CPS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CALL AND I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS!!! We started 3 types of parenting classes, Stress managment, Coping Skills, and Basic Infant care. We did an evaluation in which I now have to see a theripest for my OCD. We allowed a detetive into our house, a lady from Families First and the cps workers into our house everyday. The second set of bruises were from her moving in her crib and getting her head stuck between the rails and the bumper pad. In wich they do not believe us because a 4 month old isn't sapossed to move that much. BullCrap, Evyn was holding her head up when she came out of my womb. She she is a very advanced baby but since the books say that it isn't possiable. It's not true. So now my 4 month old isn't at home with her family insteed she is in some strangers house, and will most likly be there over her first christmas. I have done everything they have asked of me. Yet my house isn't safe enough. I want my daughter back, She needs to be with her famly not someone who gets paid to house children, no offence to foster care providers what you do is important and alot of kids need foster care.

We had court Tuesday Dec 16, The CPS worker lied to my face and the judge's face and to everyone in that room. She said that I had refused to take her to the hospital. When all I said was she had an appotment the next day. IN WHICH SHE CHANGED THE SUBJECT! AND DIDN'T MENTION IT AGAIN! Evyn has been placed in foster care untill Evyn's godmother can finish getting her foster licence. Which someone should contact her in a week. My husband is leaving the 29th of december and the court has ordered that we have two 1 hour vists before he leaves. We have desided that we will post pon christmas untill I or her godmother(Jen) has her. So all her prizent have are being kept with us untill we can open them with her. I and my husband(shane) have lawyers and Evyn has her own. Cps has told us that they will do everything they can to hurry up the Home Study for Jen to get her. Untill then we are doing reserech and trying to find away for her to be with us. I have started seeing a councler at H.O.P.E and will be meeting with her Dec 18th. And I have found parenting classes thu, OnlineParentClass.com. We have spoken with a few lawyer friends of ours and we are making great progress. And hopefully by the first of next year Jen will have her if not us.

Well Monday the 22nd we get to see her for an hour at the dhs. And then we see her again the 29th.. In which Shane will not be here becuz he is leaving that day to go to basic. So shane see her once before he leaves and i see her twice before next year. I want her back so bad.

I do feel like im dead inside only becuz we will not be spending Chrstmas with her. But like i said christmas can be moved untill she gets home.

Aslo Monday we saw EVyn.. Our 2nd vist. It was hard.. She wasn't the normal little girl that we lost. I placed her on her back.. THe old evyn would try and roll over and stick out her tounge. The new evyn just layed there. Like the foster parents lay her on her back for hours. She didn't smile. She keept tugging at her ear.I think she has an ear infection... which leads me to believe that the foster parents smoke around her. She was just not the evyn we know. And she was spitting up so much.... I think that they over feed her. Because they don't give her a pacifier and she is used to one. so wehn she crys for a pacifier they just stick a bottle in her mouth... But damn are her legs getting chunky, I now am fighting even harder cuz i want her healthy and she doesn't seem as healthy as she was when she got there... i am so worried.

jan 5th... we had our 3rd vist today. and she seemed much happier. full of smiles and not tugging her ear. She looked good.

Jen will hopfully be getting evyn as a foster child Jan 15th. after our court hearing. so i well get to see her everyday all day. so im happy... and once she gets there. that is one step closer to her being home for good. As you can tell i have my video...it is on multipul websites in hope someone will see and take notice. I understand that some people agree with me and some people dont. And everyone needs to know the difference between opion and defamation of chartcur.. Sorry i can't spell very well. saying i am wrong and that cps is doing the right thing, is ok... telling me im a bad mother and i should never see her again is uncalled for and is wrong.. so please keep comments to a sane level and read able for younger kids... who knows who reads this.

Jen will not be getting Evyn the 15th. Due to the fact she hasn't finished getting her licence yet and trasforing evyn to her care will cost to much and even more paper work.

I have finsihed seeing my counciler she finds me sane.and has writen a letter in responce. Im just now waiting for thursday and what the judge will say.

May 14th- Evyn is standing up on her own. She was moved to a new foster home. I was sick of seeing her once a week and her being covered in bruses and being told"acendent happen" SO i called cps on them.
Evyn is saying Mama, Dada and Papa. and playin with her "big girl toys" also in her new foster home evyn is not being woken up and feed every 3 hours...serioulsy they will put her to sleep at 9pm and at midnight they will wake her up and feed her...she no longer looks unhealty. 9 months old now...17lbs adverse to 7 months and 20 lbs. she looks better.

Shane is in Ait in Ft Gordon GA, he will be going to his duty station in october.
July 2nd i start getting unsupervised vists. Right now it's 7 hours once a week and Jens. being watched.

I was told by next april me and evyn should be able to move in with shane and be done with courts and everything.

I'll try and update more and more. ohh i also got my GED

Now everything has changed.....for the worse..

Well i have stopped being blind and relized....Jen had this all planned out so she can get Evyn. And since im so young my word means nothing. So now evyn is over there. will i ever see her again....most likly not..she went as far as to write a letter with LIES!!! and it's her word over mine... I have done everything...but nope not good enough. she will be one years old next month....i have been distancing myself from everyone...and apperenly the reason why the fostercare worker is helping jen is becuz evyn is very adoptable and she will get good money.

If you would like to contact me.

Shane 

What Shane is going thru

Evyn's daddy is now in Basic in Ft.Knox Ky. We are proud of him... But now i feel so alone.... Everyone has left with there other leaveing at one time or another. But that plus your child... who you only see once a week. IT's horriable.

He is having fun so far. He wants to come home so bad just to be with me and to see evyn on mondays. But he's getting thru.

I got his first letters. The withdrawl of caffine and nicotin are getting to him. He has a new battle buddy. They are getting along. He's still upset about not being home to help with the fight. But just him being there is helping. We now have an income and becuz of him we will be moving in augest. He's getting better. Now that they are accualy doing stuff his mind is off home some of the time. I still have yet to get his adress.

Now in AIT. He's good. Coming home in Augest.

The moment Evyn was born she changed our lives. We became the proud parents of a 7lb 4oz little girl. And that is what we will always be. The Proud parents of Evyn Janae. No matter your age the birth of your child changes you.No matter how much your life sucked Holding your new born baby makes everything you have ever been thru seem like nothing.

No. CPS is doing only what the book says. They take not leanlincy and if it's not in the book it's not true. Nothing you say or do will change there minds.

Is cps really doing the right thing?

Yes

CPS is there to look out for the kids best interests. They return kids when parents follow the case plan.

Please explain the following link:

I have been super concerned about your daughter since you posted your story on cafemom. My heart goes out to Evyn and I actually cried when I thought the unthinkable had happened to her. I would NEVER make up such a horrible lie about my child and post it for the world to see. I hope she is still alive and I pray that CPS is still protecting her.

No

Of course not sweetie. There is no question about it. I will do whatever I can from here. I posted a bulletin on myspace, and maybe that will help. Don't you will get this back and you will be able to put this all behind you. Love you & Evyn very much!

LindaJM says:

No, they should give you some option whereby you can stay with your baby. It is wrong to remove an infant from its mother. Your mother could supervise to make sure you're taking care of your baby, or they could provide a group home type situation to house parents they feel like they have to watch. But seriously... the idea of a parent battering an infant is pretty hard to buy, and your explanations make more sense than their accusations. Maybe your baby has a medical condition that causes bruising... is anyone checking that out?

Books that help.

Some books about foster care. I am hoping to find and read these books to get a better understanding about the foster care system.

Maybe Days: A Book for Children in Foster Care
