I am 22 and my husband is 23, and here's our backstory. My mother, my grandmother, and his grandmother got together and went around spreading lies, telling everyone we were living in our car on the side of the road and not caring for our baby and that we where on drugs. We where first time parents and didn't know anything about babies and we didn't have anybody to give us pointers or help us or give us any advice. But in reality, we lived with his grandmother until she put her hands on me while I was holding our son and told me to leave without my son and husband. I told her she was crazy, so my husband and I took our son and went to talk to his aunt. She ended up letting us stay there temporarily until we could get things figured out. Also his grandmother literally gave me the choice to give my son a roof over his head and feed him what she told me to and what she told us to feed him was not good for him and we realized that and feel extremely bad about it but the way I look at it I had the option of my son having somewhere to stay or being homeless and I choose for him to have somewhere to stay at the time we really didn't know what we where doing I was 21 and he was 22 when we had our son. I let my mother be in the hospital room with me and my husband when he was born, she even cut his umbilical cord, and walked out the room and told her girlfriend she was taking that baby from me bc I wasn't ready to be a mom. So instead of helping her daughter she took him from us. They have all accused us of being on hard drugs but we have been dealing with court since she took him from us in November of 2024 and we have both took a drug test and did not fail it.

While we were staying at his aunts trying to get back on our feet, my mother came and took temporary custody of our son in November 2024. She let me see our son a total of 3 or 4 times before she refused to answer my calls or texts and wouldn't let me see our son. She didn't let me or my husband see our son on his first birthday or his second one (April 23). I haven't seen our son in 1 year and 11 months (he just turned 2 on April 23). She still refuses to answer the phone or let me see or talk to him even though the judge has given her court orders for us to have visitation rights and everything but she still refuses. I found out her recently that they lost their house and moved to an old trailer in Laurel that had no water(I'm not sure how long they didn't have water) but they where traveling to a different home to shower every 3 to 4 days. There has also been men and women coming in and out of the trailer they have been staying in for my mother and little sister. My mother has also had our son calling her mama and every man/woman she brings there daddy(I'm not comfortable with my son calling another woman mama I don't care who the woman is actually).

We have an 8-month-old daughter now, our own house, and everything. We just want our son to meet his little sister, but we are struggling a little bit getting a lawyer, and that's what this is for. We have paid $3,000 to a lawyer to get him back, and he needs $4,000 from us. My husband works out of town, but the money he makes goes to our rent, lights, water, groceries, and our daughter's needs, such as formula, diapers, and wipes. Honestly, we just want our son back home and for him to grow up knowing his mama and daddy. This is his mama that created this to try to get us the help we need to bring our son home to be with his family.
