It is always in a child's best interests to be raised by their Mother, when the Mother is fit and capable and loves her children. The biological bond has significance and importance. The current state of affairs is not in my children's best interests and I worry about the impact this will have on Tyler and Holly in the future.

The best possible outcome is for Tyler and Holly to be home with their mother. Only misguided and selfish adults would take children from a mother simply because she too sick from pregnancy and delivery complications and sleep deprivation to protect herself and her children from trickery and predatory tactics.

Taking children from their mother and then selfishly denying the children a relationship with their mother, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, and cousins, is simply damaging and destructive behavior. To do this and then at the end of a year or two, say "I am the mother because the children have lived with me in my home" is delusional thinking at best. Such thinking means that anyone who kidnaps a child and stays hidden or eludes law enforcement for a year or two somehow morphs into the lawful parent. This logic is self serving.

The damage done to the children is severe. What child would want this? How in the world would any child ever feel happy and secure knowing that their mother wanted to be with them and that they were both denied this constitutional right by people who claim to love them? No, it simply does not work emotionally or psychologically. It is a nightmare for all involved.
