Looking for my twin nieces in Arizona. They would be 16 as of today, Feb 25, 2020. Trina is blond with a beautiful singing voice and sarah has darker hair with a funny sense of humor. Custody was given to me by their mother in 2009. In 2010, I relinquished custody to the state of AZ under the recommendation of a professional provided to me by the State of AZ to assist in our journey to heal these beautiful children from a life of trauma. It was "recommended" to release custody to the state temporarily, obtain a foster care license through an agency they provided the information for, and then bring them back into my care under foster care. I was told this would make the care through Magellen Services available to them as our private insurance didn’t have the coverage or Dr’s for the intensive therapy needed. I was advised Magellen was the best possible care and possibly the only hope for them to heal. After much debate and a torn heart, I did as advised. Once I did this, I was in contact with the kids for about 2 weeks and the new social worker on our case cut off our communication. I was then told I abandoned the kids and that I was too far removed in relation to fight it. (I am their great aunt). The State of AZ would no longer return my calls or answer inquiries. I was told I could write to the kids and if the representatives of the state felt it was appropriate, they would provide the letters to the kids, but that much of what I wrote could be marked out for their protection. I wrote several letters with no response. In 2014, a social worker from the state contacted me to request I remove the kids from my health insurance. I told her I would not do that unless information was provided to me about the kids. It was the only way I had to see where they were. Whenever they were seen by a physician, Tricare sent me summary of benefits. I am assuming they were able to get the kids removed because the notifications stopped coming. There was also a boy, James. James was being relinquished to the state permanently due to the severity of his trauma and behavior. While in my care, he was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder, Conduct Disorder with possible signs of Psychopathy which could not yet be diagnosed due to age. The state representative urged me not to bring him back to the home as he was considered a danger to his sister’s, my own children and other’s who may come into contact with him. In 2014, the only information given to me was that James was in and out of boys homes and could not be near or have any contact with his sister’s due to inappropriate behavior towards them. He was moved between homes due to dangerous behaviors toward others. Sarah and Trina were coming along fantastically. I had them in therapy at home, the school was working with us tremendously, they were involved in girl scouts, church, martial arts, soccer, and other after school activities. To lose them so suddenly was heartbreaking. I have been trying to track them since this happened with no luck other than the Tricare statements which show Sarah had eye surgery sometime in 2013-2014. If the girls have been adopted, I have no desire to rip them from a loving home and good situation. I do want them know that they have someone out there that loves them and that has been looking for them. I can’t imagine how they felt being left and never seeing their family again, more than once. In retrospect, I wish I hadn’t followed the advice given to me, but at the time, I wanted to do what was best for them and I was told this was it. I would love to find them and reconnect. I hope they will remember me and search for me and I will always continue to search for them!
