November 2009

Right before Thanksgiving 2009 we got a phone call from the Department of Family Services in New York. The women told Dan that Mary had had a psychiatric break down and was hospitalized against her will for three days and that all the children were place in foster care. We had no idea where Dylan was and we had no way of getting a hold of him. Dan immediately flew to New York to meet with the judge to get temporary custody of Dylan, the lawyer that was assigned to Dylan tried to get to the judge to make Dylan stay in New York with his maternal grandmother. After a lot of debate the judge gave Dan temporary custody of Dylan and at the same time Dan filed for sole custody of his son.

Dan brought Dylan home just in time for Thanksgiving and it was absolutely wonderful to have him home we had the opportunity to make a lot more memories. He was enrolled in school here and we spent all of the holidays together. It was by far the best Christmas we had ever had, we morned that Danny wasn't with us but we were over joyed to have Dylan home safe and sound! We loved every minute of it!

Unfortunately the courts and had to reevaluate Dan's Ex's mental status and she was deemed suitable to have her children back, the judge forced us to give Dylan back at the end of January 2010. It was a horrible day, Dylan cried and begged us not to make him go and we all cried and prayed that he would be home with us again soon.
