#15 Re:2011-12-13 21:49:22emily and the family are all aware of the laws. Emilys aunt and uncle both moved to america 10 yrs ago with there sons that is not the issue they are not trying to get around the law just trying to expidite it. emily in the last 1 year has been in 3 different schools due to having no home the family has no problem adopting her or having her live with them its the disruption that is the problem sara has been out of america most of the last 16 months missing her family her oldest son just had his first child saras first grandchild and she is missing out on all the joys of being a grandparent again this is not to get around the law its to try and shed light on the situation and make people aware and hopfully get some changes made to the laws to help prevent similar situations in the future for other familys |

#16 Re:2011-12-13 23:45:34So you think that it is right that an 11 year old child should be put into care because her mother has passed and because of rules and regulations that prevent family members from adopting their neice! This is a messed up world when people can not see that this is an awful situation that is not being helped by UK/USA regulations!! Sara and Ian are HARD working people who will raise Emily to be even more inspriational, strong and caring than the young lady she is now! I met emily weeks after her mother passed away and I can honestly say that to this day she is still the strongest person I have EVER met in my life! Think about what you have just written! now think about if you had a neice that was in the same situation that this family are in. Imagine the fear, the sadness the sense of rejection that poor Emily is feeling right now! All she needs is a loving, permanent family to help fill a hole in her heart. Emily has no home, no mum.... she needs her family. This is so wrong! This needs to be fixed NOW!! no child should have to go through this! I understand that countries have immigration laws but for goodness sake..... let Emily have a home!! |

#21 Re: getting Emily to America2011-12-14 11:36:47Where is your heart!!! This is a young girl who has lost her mum and you dare say that there are laws and regulations that must be followed. Her family are not trying to get her into America illegally all they are trying to do is to reunite a family, a loving caring family, they are not asking for any handouts from the American goverment they are more than able to support Emily. All this young girl needs is the love and care from her Aunt and family and people like you are trying to stop this from happening. Are you such a cold hearted person that you cannot see this or are the blinkers on and you dont want to see the pain that this is causing for all concerned. You really should be more thoughtful of your comments as what you have posted makes you out to be a heartless, cold and uncaring person. Emily and family do not give up the fight to be happy loving family, ignore this ignorant sad person they really are insignificant in life. I was a friend of Soo's and I have never met such a kind considerate person as she was, always thinking of others even when she was dealing with her own illness. I was honoured to have her in my life and I wish you all the best for the future. xx |
