Attorney funds to get my son back.

Donation protected
Hi everyone, this fundraiser is to help my son and I, by affording the cost for an attorney to help me get the ball rolling in court. Its $4,780 up front and the bi-weekly costs of $250 i can afford on my own. $7,000 all together. Out of 11 attorneys, this was the only one who knew what he was talking about. And pretty much the only one who called me back.


I'm a single mother, with a 3 year old son, Sebastian. When Sebastian and I were exhausted on help with a stable place to live, my grandparents Alyce, 63 and Jim, 67,  stepped up to take us in. They reside in Georgia. 
My baby and I hopped from 3 different homes that were my family and friends, up until he was 6 months, in Louisiana. My grandparents offered to give us a stable home, helped me get a job and also helped me with a car.  They offered all their help to get me on my feet until I could get a place of my own and care for my son on my own. They offered to watch him while i went to work so i wouldn't have to deal with the costs and worries of daycare. It sounded ideal to me. 

It was brought into discussion that if I allowed my grandparents to adopt Sebastian, that it would financially help him and I over the "fact" that they would get a monthly check for him up to "$900" a month and that he would be set up for college when the time came. Thus, to voluntarily signing away my rights is what I needed to do.
When i signed away my rights, i was unaware of a lot of things pertaining to this, such as knowing about their petition and affidavit they drew up, which i was completely unaware of. The only paperwork in front of me was only the voluntarily signature I had to give. When I asked my grandmother if i needed to attend to court she told me it wasn't necessary. I didn't think twice on it because I TRUSTED them with their word. I never spoke to an attorney on my behalf,  i never appeared in court. It was just that easy. 

When my grandmother became controlling over Sebastian, and be-littled me as a mother is when i became skeptical on what was truly happening. 
January 7, 2019 is the day i went to some boat shop "notary", signed my paper and left to go to work. Around July of 2019 is when i decided to go in my grandmother's room to find the copies of the paperwork, i found them and thats when I became aware of her affidavit that was based on fraud and false claims. She stated that i didnt want my baby when he was 3 weeks old, that I was gone weeks at a time without my baby and that i basically abandoned him. That she didnt know who the father was even though i did know who he was, i just didnt put him on the birth certificate. That she was my sole support during my pregnancy, which was also false because my bestfriend, Maranda Smith, was the one who supported Sebastian and I before and after my pregnancy. Maranda spent all of her savings to throw my babyshower here in Louisiana. My grandparents had NOTHING to do with my pregnancy and care of my newborn. 
I wouldn't have signed anything if i was aware of all this paperwork that was disclosed from me.

I was kicked out of their home in July 2019, when my grandmother had spoken "This is our son, now."


My grandparents are wishy-washy when it comes to my son and I communicating. One day they will let me speak to him, but then the next week will say im not allowed to facetime because he gets all his toys out and destroys his room for example. 
As of now, they have me blocked on their phones and wont let me call my baby,  not even on my brother's phone. My son is asking about me and they dont have the heart to think in his best interests. 

During my visit with him last weekend I discovered Sebastian is still in soiled diapers.
 They dont wipe him properly.
Hes still drinking from a bottle. 
Hes been lost more than a couple times. Alyce had the audacity to tell me every kid gets lost for atleast 5 minutes. I have these on recordings.

I've worked hard to clean my slate from past mistakes ive made years back. Ive aligned my ducks in a row to become the mother my son needs and deserves but in their eyes it's not enough and obviously will never be enough. 

I fear for my sons life. My grandfather, who is on mind-altering medications, watches Sebastian majority of the times. Jim has verbally told me he has lost Sebastian more than once. 
I also constantly worry about his mental state. He has verbally told me that he wants to be with mommy. 

When i asked my grandma, May 11, 2021 if she would ever give me my baby back, she responded in harsh tones, telling me no and escalated to her yelling at me to shut up...when I was only questioning her in a civil tone on why i couldn't have my baby. I have this conversation on recording.
She told me to leave her house and that was the last day i spoke to Sebastian. 

He has verbally told his cousins and his uncle today, May 17,2021 that " I want to be with my mommy." 
I am still not allowed to speak with him.

At this point, i would greatly appreciate any help that Sebastian and I can get in order to get him home with his mommy and around his family, in the stable, loving, supportive environment that he deserves, needs and wants. 
I have all evidence to support this case.
