Family Fighting Fosterers!

Samantha Wagoner is five.

Despite having a mom and dad too ravaged by drugs to care for her properly, she does have the love and support of her aunt Gladys and Uncle Larry Tighe of Montana. She's lived with them for a month - after experiencing abuse in foster homes - and they have applied to adopt her and make it permanent.

Montana'sNewsStation reports: "The adoption has turned into a legal tug-of-war between Oregon and Montana, and all the red tape means that Samantha will be sent back to Oregon foster care, for at least two months while the Tighes attend an adoption training course, subjecting the child to more disruptions, rejection and possible abuse."

If you live in oregon, contact your Governor and congressmen.

I just joined your blog and would like to link to my blog, which is a CPS reform or anti-CPS blog. The address is cpsasystemoutofcontrol.blogspot.com. I would like for you to link to mine! I have also shared it with a number of cps reform groups that I am on. Thank you for fighting for our families. We need all the help we can get!
