I want to let all of you, especially yrand, know that we do not need to sit idly by while the state and the social workers abuse the system and us. We are not the problem, the bad parents and bad social workers are.
While talking to my licensor this week, I did something I should not have done. I lost my temper. After trying for 9 months to get my boys placed with me for adoption the DSHS workers have decided to throw another obsticle in my path. Being a single man they think I must be a pervert since I want to be a Dad. They want me to have a sexual deviancy test, without ever even having a suggestion of any wrong doing. I went up one side of her and down the other. I took the advice of Open Arms Foundation, I contacted everyone and anyone who I thought might help. I called every supervisor in the chain until I reached the top official in DSHS. I then called the Governor, and our States Senators, then I wrote a letter detailing the violtions of State and Federal Laws and sent it to every state rep we have. I then contacted my attorney and told him to file away on civil charges. I will mail copies of the letter to every major newspaper in the area within 200 miles.
I am going to get this in the press and in the minds of everyone in this state.
I recieved a call back from the Governors office and they have assigned an investigator. I also received a call back from one of the senators and they are also launching an investigation. Then the special assistant to the head of DSHS called me and said they are investigating but please don't go to the press. I told them too late, I had waited 4 months for them to resolve the issues and did not go to the press earlier because they requested I give them a chance. Too late.
So, we will see what happens. At least it has put a fire under their butts and they are reacting.
