<div>UPDATE 2/1/2026: We’re on the way home! We were able to take the three Seymour kids and their little half-brother. Please read the longer update on the bottom of this gofundme page for more details.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE 1/25/2026: The kids are trapped in Croatia in a state-run orphanage. We are in the country, trying to get the kids out of the custody of the local government. We have to hire Croatian lawyers who specialize in child abduction, create and submit Hague Convention applications, hire court-approved translators, and extend our stay here by an unknown amount of time. All to work on getting the kids released from government custody. Therefore, we decided to raise our goal. Although we are very happy the original goal was met, this will be entirely consumed by just flights here and back. This part of Croatia is the most expensive place to fly to and stay, out of all possible locations we had on our radar.

<div>Who knows how much money is going to be needed for therapy for the five of us, after this is all over.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>There is also a fifth American child in this children's home. My children were traveling with him and his mother. The fifth child’s situation is even more difficult than my own kids’ status. We would like to help him as much as possible - his situation is going to need more legal help and strategy than ours.

<div>ORIGINAL POST:

</div>

<div>My kids have been abducted overseas by their mother.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On Sunday Nov 30th, my ex-wife flew to Europe, kidnapping all three of my kids and her fourth child from another dad. We didn't learn until Tuesday Dec 2 that anyone was missing. She forged passport documents for the kids, left behind a note dictating a delusional message from God promising her she would be in Italy by Christmas, and a to-do list that mentioned "shred paperwork, destroy identifying photos, throw away phone, purchase pre-paid phone."

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I know someone who was dropped off in a foreign country at 8 yrs old where they didn't speak the language, and they strongly suggested that we personally go pick them up wherever they are found. This will minimize the trauma. If we can be there to get them asap after mom is arrested, they will feel safer and will not suffer as much wondering what is going to happen to them, to their mom, and to their future.

</div>

<div>She hasn't been located, but the FBI has good people working on it who love their job, and working together with family connections will get the kids home as soon as possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tickets to Europe are not cheap - we need two round-trip flights, perhaps a hotel, and 3-4 one-way return flights. (We don't know yet who will pick up the fourth child).

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Any funds received in excess of flight costs will go towards therapy needed because of this traumatic experience. My genuine hope is that the kids are found quickly, and we can pick them up while they still think they're on a vacation.
