I am posting this for someone else. Please contact me for her email address if you can help.
Amanda was born jan 24 1986 in grand junction Colorado at st Mary's hospital,
the day after her birth i was given 2 pints of whole blood and a pint of plasma I had lost alot of blood, 6 weeks later the state took custody for non-organic failure to thrive and they charged me with neglect she had not lost any weight but she was not gaining I was so sick after her birth, that I was tired all the time and there were times that I would sleep through her feedings, sometime in feb/ march a local t.v station
did a story on it and then sometime in march / april my husband terminated his rights
I continued to fight for 2 years seeing her only once a week for an hour at a time.
they sent me to shrinks cause i was still sick and yet the drs could not find anything wrong with me I though maybe I was crazy they kept at me to sign my rights away, finally I lost but I appealed it and a a yr later I had just had my second daughter who was on the hospital she was born to early and WHILE in the hospital started doing what amanda had done not gaining wieght and yes the state tried to interfere there but by then I was in another county and the judge there told them to leave me alone, I think Rebbecca was 1 week old when i got the call that I had lost the appeal I finally gave up I could do it anymore I was so drained emotionally and mentally i just could not do it anymore. I never forgot bout my baby angel she was the most beautifull baby you had ever seen her smile would lite up a room, when I lost Amanda I lost something in me that even though through counseling I cannot get it back I feel like she stolen and i know untill i find her I cannot fully heal I have to know she had a good life with parents who loved her as much as we do and that they gave her a life i was unable to. 2 yrs ago they found out why I was so sick back then I have hep c and cannot do treatments and my liver is failing so i need to do this as quick as i can i want to hold her once more. so my question is 1) would they change her name,bdate?
2)would they hhave had to of been in colorado to adopt her?
3)would they have posted in the notices in the local newspaper about the termination of rights?/adoption?
4) where can i find online archives for newspapers?
please any help wpuld be great i just dont know where to go next
thank you carrie
