Help Us Bring Penelope Home

‼️We are asking everyone who is willing to PLEASE help us with these unexpected legal fees by sharing our story and/or donating any amount‼️

On Nov 21st, our child was taken from us. We have had Penelope since April. We have done nothing but love her unconditionally and make her feel seen and understood. She has thrived in our home. She went from not knowing how to chew food to eating nonstop, from being on medicine to not needing any medicine at all, and from barely knowing how to walk to running, jumping, and climbing. She went from not trusting ANYONE to learning that we will always come back for her. We will always be here for her. She was our missing piece, our baby girl, our sissy. She fit in so seamlessly. The boys adore her. Oliver and Penny were best friends. And now... we are all at a loss.

Riverside County took her because our THREE-YEAR-OLD bit her twice in the past 6 months. They said because we LET him bite her, we were "severely neglecting" her.

This is not over. These allegations are outrageous. We are going to fight and do everything in our power to get her back.

That being said, we could really use everyone's help covering the legal fees. While we will do and pay anything to get our daughter back, we need the help! This is going to be a hard fight because we are not her blood and the system only cares about that as family, so we need all the help we can get. We are truly devastated and broken that for the 2nd time in just over a year, we've had 2 of our babies taken from us. I know that's a risk with fostering, but there was literally ZERO reason for her to be taken.
