Rescuing Two Children from Abandonment


--by MThomas86, posted Oct 9, 2011

I recently rescued my two stepdaughters from their mother's house. She abandoned them for 3 days, and we found out she was in Colorado. The apartment they were staying in was completely flea-infested, and there wasn't any food. The girls, ages 11 and 14, had been staying with their papaw since there mother had left. After a 30-minute pack job to take just their clothes, we left without looking back. Since then, their mother has only called once, and that was to see if she was still getting child support.

I got everything washed and re-did their bedroom here. My husband and I don't know what we are going to do financially, but we pray for a miracle ever day. The girls are so happy now, and they get to be with their little brother. We may be strapped financially every day, but the children love just being loved.

You might want to contact the department of children's services in your state to see what help financially you may be eligible for. Here is the link to california's http://www. Cdss. Ca. Gov/cdssweb/pg1985. Htm#childissues (if you are not in california then perhaps it will give you an idea of how to proceed). All the best.

unknown wrote: what a git you gave those girls.......not only the security of a loving home, food, and clean clothes, but the knowledge that they matter, that you WANT them (not something they felt much before, I would wager), and that they are loved. Blessings on your sweet heart. The money to support them will come somehow; kindness is always rewarded.
