<div>Hello! Our names are David and Liz. We have had Karsyn since he was 10 days old. There has been minimal visitation between his mom and dad. His dad has NEVER contacted us and his mom “get him when she wants” to.
</div>
<div>Due to some issues that have come up, we are raising money to retain our lawyer. We spoke with our lawyer and were told that we needed $5,000 for the retainer fee, that we had a pretty good case, and that it would be best to do it closer to school age. He is currently in daycare and is now enrolled in K4. The issue now is that she is trying to come around more and dictating when Karsyn’s father should get home.
</div>
<div>Please help us with the retainer fee so that we can adopt or gain custody of our “Chay man”! We couldn’t see life without him. He will be 4 years old in July and calls our place home.
</div>
<div>By no means do I ever want to keep him from his parents - but we do want to make sure that he cannot be snatched up at anytime. No help has ever been given from the parents and I am not looking to be reimbursed by them by any means. We love this boy with all our hearts and couldn’t live without him!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We set this account up so that everybody knows where the money will be going. Instead of using cashapp, Venmo, or other types of accounts, this, I hope, will give the peace of mind of knowing that the money will not be spent, just anywhere.
</div>
<div>I will post receipts too, for extra peace of mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE: We will be scheduling our appointment with our lawyer at the beginning of June. Some things have come up and we have appreciated all of the help thus far! If it is in your heart to give and you are able to, please do so before the first of June. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE: We have an appointment with our lawyer on June 5. Praying for the right outcome and right words to speak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE-6/30/25: Mom has signed over her rights in front of our attorney and notary. Unfortunately, Karsyn’s father is wanting to fight this case now. We have a hearing date scheduled for August 6. At the same time, his mother thinks she can pull back now….our attorney says that we should be ok once the father knows how much money we will be asking for. Unfortunately again, this is costing us more money. But we will fight to the very end. Our attorney is going to serve Brody with the same papers that Hali has already signed. As of right now, Brody does not have an attorney. When we go to court, we are asking for ALL attorney fees (and I will be paying all donations back, if it goes that far), back child support for 4 years, all daycare expenses and medical expenses. We are looking at $45-$50k. Our attorney believes that he will sign the papers with visitation rights when he sees the numbers. 
</div>
<div>Thank you all in advance!!!
