To make a long story short, the State of Utah has denied my nephew's parental rights of his daughter because the mother was married to another man when she got pregnant by my nephew. They gave parental rights to her husband, saying that the nuclear family overrides DNA proof of paternity. this is an antiquated law that needs to be changed.
Please pray for my disabled Navy Veteran nephew (he was injured while serving on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf during Desert Storm) and for his beautiful daughter, Cadence. He hasn't seen her for 6 months.
If you would like to help, see this link. http://chardalescuriousjourney.blogspot.com/2013/10/your-help-needed-birthday-card-drive.html We are doing a birthday card drive (Cadence will be two on Halloween) If you decide you want to send a card, please include a note that says that you are a friend of mine and that you know how much her Aunt Sherone loves her.
We don't want her to grow up not knowing about a whole family that adores her.
Thanks for your prayers and for your hogs and quiches!

That is an awesome blog and video.
My prayers are there for you all.
Thanks to Nephew who served for the USA and I pray that the state will give back his parental rights.
Blessings

Hi Sherone,
Time may go by (even decades) but I know from experience that truth sifts through the "sands of time" to the surface revealing the hidden secrets.
"The turnings of life seldom show a sign-post; or rather, though the sign is always there, it is usually placed some distance back, like the notices that give warning of a bad hill or a level railway-crossing." Edith Wharton, 1913 from 'The Custom of the Country'. |

Wow Sherone, I am sorry. I am praying for the Lord to grant your nephew custody and for little Cadence to be able to really know and love her Dad. Please thank your Nephew for his service to our country.

How awful, this is so terribly sad. Prayers for her to get back with her father soon. How wonderful for your nephew to have served our country, God Bless him.

I never heard of such! I thought DNA was always the clincher. I understand the family part but am surprised that he would not have some rights if DNA has proven him to be the father. Visitation? Something? Is Utah the only state that does this? My prayers are with the family and abundance thank-you's to your nephew for serving our country.
Blessings,
Portia
Wishing for the country life! |

As far as I know, Utah is the only state that does this. There are many cases of children being taken away from their fathers in Utah. Women are even going to Utah to have their babies, because they can give them up for adoption without the father's consent. He had visitation for 16 months and then the judge said that he would not enforce the visitation order. My nephew is taking it to the Supreme Court. He is not going to give her up without a fight. He is an amazing dad!

Sherone praying that they will be reunited very soon. I can't imagine how he must feel. I hope they let him and your family see her very soon.

Prayers will continue. That all seems unreal. I don't blame him for fighting.

He is a great dad to keep on fighting. I pray he will get to be with his daughter soon.

If the women don't want them why don't they give them to the fathers and give up their parental right to them.
