Sven137 I recognize and appreciate your right to voice your opinion; I believe if you had bothered actually getting the facts, you may not have posted. Fact: Pura was placed with us as a place of safety when she was about 14 months old, after her dear old dad snatched her from her biological mother in 2007, this was the culmination of a six month period of fighting and cross sueing between the two of them. Fact: She has been in foster care with us for over 7 years Fact: Her dear old dad has over the last 7 years tried to have us arrested for kidnapping and child trafficking and on several occasions has tried to bribe people to steal her from school. Fact: He is on record at child services as wanting his 'property' back, not his child. Fact: he is has 27 outstanding warrants in Shasta County, California and skipped the country in 2002/3 to avoid prosecution as it was his third strike. Fact: In December 2012 he hired 4 Zimbabweans under false pretenses to assault my wife while she was dropping our daughter at school. Fact: He was fortunately apprehended 24 hours later. The last year and a half had been one of him playing delaying tactics, changing lawyers with the same frequency as some of us change underwear. Also making the occasional outburst in court that has prompted magistrates to query his sanity, hence the stay in Weskoppies. You are right to be sympathetic to the rights of fathers, I am, however, disinclined to give him that title
