Hello All,

On January 16th I flew to California in hopes of seeing Rachel for our first visitation since we had been separated September 17th. The Supervisor had called me several times to alert me of the status of continually trying to get the other party’s agreement in confirming the appointment. Of course that never happened. Nancy stated she was too busy and wouldn’t be able to callback to schedule anything until after the 4th of January.

This was no surprise to me of course. Monday night January 4th I received a phone call from the supervisor to reconfirm my availability on Thursday Jan 7 (tonight).  She was waiting to hear from Nancy. Again I heard from her last night Wednesday to inform me that that the supervisor failed to book the facility a week in advance but that we could still have the visit “out and about” somewhere. AND that I would not be allowed to touch Rachel or have her sit on my lap per Nancy’s quidelines. But that Nancy did not agree to have the visit “out and about” as the supervisor suggested.

I “let the supervisor have it” so to speak in a very diplomatic and authentic way. I questioned why Nancy’s hearsay was of any validity. That I was outraged by the inability of the system to assess who’s lying to sabotage Rachel’s rights to a loving mother. I urged her to do her job and that I knew it wasn’t easy. Anyways….a friend was with me and heard my conversation and assured me I was firm but not inappropriate.

I haven’t slept, I’m going to therapy to scream, I need to set a calendar date for a fundraiser and I need your prayers for Rachel.

I want to meet tonight from 6:30-8:30 as I had planned. Instead of with Rachel I’d like to have a pow wow session. I need support.

Please call me if you are available to meet. I will decide on a place within by 4pm.

A private home would be preferable if you are able to host.

Peace?

Frankie
