Advance Adoption

November 15, 2005 permalink

Here is a case in which a mother fighting to get her children released by child protectors has found them listed on a pre-adoption website.

On May 16, 2001 Indiana child protectors took all ten children from homeschoolers Jon and Julia (Julie) Phillips of Frankfort Indiana. On April 10, 2003 their rights to the five youngest children were terminated. On October 24, 2003 three of the children participated in a public demonstration proclaiming their love for their foster mother, Janet Pillion. Given the control of the foster parents and social workers over the children, it is impossible to judge their sincerity.

Here is today's letter from Julia Phillips:

I was looking for something on the Access Indiana site and found my children on the adoption list! That makes my mother's heart bleed some more. However, I'm assuming since they are still on this list, they are not yet adopted out, which would make me feel better since we are still working on getting them home. If you open this url, scroll down to almost the bottom and you'll find Girl [3], Boy [5], Girl [7], Girl [9], Girl [11]. The case number or whatever is 3196ABCDEUBD

I will give you more details. This was evidently put on here a year and a half ago because their present ages are not current.

Girl [3] Charity Hope Phillips, now 4 1/2
Boy [5] Joel Edward Phillips, now 7
Girl [7] Elisabeth Grace Phillips, now 8
Girl [9] Rebekah Joanne Phillips, now 10
Girl [11] Hannah Faith Phillips, now 12

Their descriptions of them are accurate, although Joel was not diagnosed with Asberger's before he was kidnapped. Also Elisabeth did not have seizures while she was with us.

I wish someone would adopt them and then give them back to us!!!! Anyone brave enough to try? If anyone could check this out further for me, I'll be extremely thankful. I'm afraid to "meddle" for fear it will make matters worse for me.

It is really depressing, though, to think the State never wants me to see my kids again. I'll never give up the fight, though.

Keep praying!!!

In God's Grace, Julie
