From my SIL Diane:
Adam got to see his daughter for an hour yesterday. She was a little shy with him and then she began to talk to him a mile a minute about her love for dancing and for singing. Then she talked about her toys and what she liked to play with. She is so cute. She is so tall and skinny. And has these big hazel eyes and she is so mature. Adam cried for two hours yesterday over her. He didn't break down in front of her but afterwards for all the things he missed watching her go from toddler to this little girl who talks so well and is her own person. I told him he has to let go of that and make up to her all the years ahead. Cindy blocked him from seeing Austin right now because she convinced Austin's therapist that Austin would become psychotic if he had to see Adam. It is ridiculous to us but she has convinced Austin of terrible things about Adam that we know didn't happen and he is very afraid of Adam. Cindy's lies are beginning to surface in court and she is going to get in trouble for what she has done. Adam's therapist has recommended that Adam and Austin go to therapy together to undo the damage that Cindy has done. We go back to court in June and I have gathered evidence that shows what she has fabricated and we hope the judge throws out the adoption appeal so we can go back to civil court and get Adam's rights reinstated on the truth.
Sami and Austin got to come over to our house for the first time today for 6 hours. We had a great time. Jim, Shirley, Colleen, Mike, Yesenia, Dan and myself played with them and did art things and talked and laughed and it was like no time had gone by at all. We sat on the patio after having their favorite foods that they remembered I made for them, Lasagna, garlic bread and brownies for dessert. Austin said he remembered that I made the best lasagna in the world. and Sami told Jim when they were making a zoo in my garden area "I will have Di Di make the tickets and money for the people to see our animals, she can make anything!" I was so happy to hear her say that. She remembered so much while she was here today. She kept reminding my kids of different things that they did with us and how much fun they had. Cindy told the courts that Sami didn't remember anything about us and didn't even know us. She is so wrong. Those kids left here today so happy and they can't wait to come back. They are going to drive Cindy crazy for the next three weeks. She cannot take us out of their hearts. No matter what she does.
Adam was upset because they aren't allowed to talk about Adam to us. But we didn't stifle ourselves if something came up family wise and Adam was involved in the family situation we mentioned him in that situation.
We didn't volunteer stuff about Adam but we weren't about to pretend he didn't exist either. And we refuse to address him as Adam to them as their mother has them calling him. Adam is their Dad and nothing is going to change that. He doesn't deserve to be treated this way but our fight is not with the kids, our fight is the evil that motivates Cindy to continue to hurt him. That we will battle in prayer and in the courts. We have to give the kids good memories of their visits with us and let the courts order Adam and his children to reconcile their relationship through love and therapy. It is going to take a little while to unbrainwash Austin of what his Mother has convinced him of. But we gave him nothing today to cause him any distress. We all had a wonderful time. It was a prayerful weekend and blessings were bestowed. God is answering our prayers and we are so grateful for His love and guidance. Adam is a much better person than he was when all this stuff started and when he is given the chance he will be a great Dad. And our family's faith and love for God and each other has never been stronger. God is so good as you well know!
I was very blessed to hear your story. It never seizes to amaze me to hear about God in action. I have seen and felt His presence so strongly and vividly through what others would see as hopeless and disheartening situations and His light has shown through it all. He beckoned to us at those times to give it all to Him and for us to hold on to Him through the ride. And just like a roller coaster we clutched Him for His protection and then we relaxed and let out a sigh of relief when it was over. He never let us fall and kept us safe. Just having the kids here today and seeing how much they all loved each other and rejoiced in each other's presence made me realize once again how much we are blessed. Evil will not defeat this family because we have the strongest protection God can give us, His love and the love of family and friends and it is a powerful weapon against evil!
I love you all and appreciate the prayers and good thoughts. We are receiving the blessings of your prayers.
Love, Di
