Answer 1

CPS doesn't just take children and "adopt them out." Your not telling us everything because I KNOW this has been a long drawn out process. We went through it with our grand-daughter and these things don't happen overnight. If these children are adopted...leave them alone. Let them come looking for you when they are 18.

Answer 2

I am a mom of 5 kids adopted from foster care, & all of their birth parents said it wasn't their fault--but they didn't keep appointments, missed visitations, continued drinking, drugging, & living with child molesters, some didn't even show up for hearings where their rights were being terminated. And some actually did abuse the kids.

However, we have had contact with at least some relatives of each kid over the years--the kids need it. They need to know it's not their fault they were taken, and that their birth families love them even if they can't take care of them.

Contact CPS or your lawyer and ask whether the adoptive parents will allow letters and pictures to be exchanged through them. If you do that for awhile, tell your kids they are lucky to have more parents to love them, don't try to undermine the adoption, etc., you may be able to work up to visits eventually. But if you just walk into their lives & try to visit at Christmas you will probably end up with a no-contact order.

Adoptive parents are usually a little scared of birth parents, especially early in the adoption when the kids aren't securely attached. We were very nervous about contact for our oldest daughter, but she asked us to find her grandma & we did, & then got in touch with more of the family (Her grandma was the best, BTW--we all loved her.) But remember that the adoptive parents have heard stuff about you from CPS & probably from the kids--maybe you just weren't able to keep them safe, maybe it was worse, but they are dealing with the results and it's probably not fun. And they will be worried that you will try to steal the kids. So if you can get in contact indirectly & do it the right way, you may have a chance at at least some ongoing contact. Good luck--your kids need this at least as much as you do.

Answer 3

I know there is a whole lot more to this story. My step-daughters mother lost all 4 of her kids. Thankfully 2 of the dads took 2 of them. The 2 youngest are now with their soon to be new parents. The adoption should be final right around Christmas! They were adopted through CPS also. Mom and dad were both drug addicts and still are. If it wasn't your fault you would've done everything possible to keep them, I know I would if they were mine.
So I agree with the other posters. LEAVE those kids ALONE because they are now getting what they deserve. A good solid home with parents that love and cherish them. You have no right to know where they are at. They'll be 18 someday and may seek you out and may not.
We are very lucky and my step-daughter gets to see her siblings on occasion. She gets to correspond with them through email and letters. The adoptive parents are awesome!

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but I don't think they can be "adopted". They would be foster kids, wouldn't they?

I know this sucks, but there is a reason they aren't letting you see your kids. If they felt you were a bad enough parent to justify removing your children permenantly from your home, and that you shouldn't even get visitation, it stands to reason they would not want to put your kids through having to deal with you, and any physical or emotional danger they may be at risk of as a result of seeing you, at Christmas.

Blame it on your ex-boyfriend if you want. I don't know the details, and I don't need to. But I do know they don't just go taking ALL parental rights away from parents unless there is a real reason for it. If that's what you're claiming is happening, hire an attorney to try to at least get visitation rights with your kids.

If that's not a possibility, you may just have to wait until they are old enough to make their own decisions about whether they WANT to see you, and try to build a relationship with them then.

Answer 5

I second what grandma of 2 said but maybe it's possible for CPS to send something for you. That's up to CPS depending on the severity of the crimes commited against your children. CPS would always rather keep children with their families so if they've been taken from you and adopted instead of placed in foster care there has to be a good reason.

Answer 6

They unquestionably can. Our final adoption of slightly one became into like that. the mummy refused to sign and that they went for the period of the formal technique of a courtroom listening to. Her rights ended up being terminated and we've been waiting to undertake after that. I could upload that we had no involvement in the technique different then being a foster make certain to the baby and whilst the parental rights have been terminated THEN we've been waiting to put in to undertake. It became into an opposed device even though it became into between the start mum and dad and CPS.

Answer 7

I know how you feel I haven't seen my kids in 5 years. I think of them every day. And I hope too be able too see them soon.My rights was wrongly taken away by false aligations by CPS. This people don't care about the parents that are trying there best to take care of there children. All they care about is getting there money they get for selling your children to better parents than [e-mail]

Answer 8

Kristen C., if you are still looking please contact me. I may be able to help. I realize that after 7 years you may not even see this anymore. If you do send me an email to this address ok? Forget the negative people. I have to spell out my email address I think. [e-mail] (Or not...if my email addy didn't show up...... mikieskid3 at yahoo) I am an adoptee (the child who was adopted) and found my mom almost 9 years ago and because someone wanted to help me... I like to try and help others. (the person who helped me remained anonymous and helped from the heart, and did not want money like so many organizations out there) so I like to pass it on. I look forward to hearing from you. Kristen.

Answer 9

i doubt you can find out who has them, and if you did and tried to contact them you'd possiibly be told to keep away or risk jail.. Kids are not normally just taken away because of 1 bad parent if the other parent is ok, as long as the bad parent is kept away or supervised while with the kids the good parent usually gets to keep the kids..........
most you can hope to get is to be able to send cards and gifts via the CPS and you may get pictures back.........

Answer 10

Your children were taken away from you for a reason, and your rights severed for a reason. They are not going to open up adoption records for you.
