Amber Nicklas Found 7 Years After Being Abducted

This poor child has went through so much and now to be set back into the hands of the state. Wrong! I am a grandmother of 3 that was put into foster care and we had to become foster parents to care for them. Then after 4 years the STATE decided to put the two older ones at the time age 4 and 3 with their father's grandma in another state. We ended up only getting to adopt their little 1/2 brother and the Home Study Adoption was for all 3. We have tried to do something since but the grandmother has adopted the other 2 and as it was an Idaho adoption even though out of state it was a closed adoption. In the State of Idaho they are all closed adoptions. So therefore it terminated any rights we had. So now, we cannot see the kids until they are 18 years old. She has returned clothing, cards and letters. So we have kept them so that when they do come to us we can show them the little clothes they never got to wear. Our grandson we adopted was traumatized and is just coming out of it. He has delays etc but they were in a drug environment. He is getting the best of care not only by us being the best parents we can be but because of all the intervention of Speech Therapy, DT, OT and being involved with a daycare just basically to have kids to play with his age. So I feel for this little gal. Going through so much and the worst place she can be is in the hands of a state system such as foster care. I have seen more good things about the Casey Program here lately and would help that way if we could again but at this time cannot. Too much going on in our lives. Our two boys keep us busy.
