What Gives Me Hope that one day I will see my only grandchild again despite her mother.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Have some statue in the Iowa code and our nation that gives the grandparents the right to petition the courts for visitation to grandchildren on a case to case basis and to take away alot of the power that DHS abuses in regards to our nations children, parents and grandparents by fostering our children out of putting them up for adoption when there are family members who would gladly raise the children.
What/who changed my life and why The death of my Father. Our family structure fell apart when the strength of our family died. The loyalty of our family went to the wayside and has never regained it's family strength.
