A child was born on October 2, 2017 in El Paso Texas at Del Sol Medical Center. The mother Carissa McLeod was distraught and asked for mental health from Hope Cottage. Hope Cottage took the child: Aiden McKeon. They gave the father who was in jail 30 days. The parents of the son in jail hired a lawyer to stop any adoption wanting their grandchild. The grandparents (My husband & myself) wanted the child since we are currently raising/adopted Aiden’s brother. We wanted to keep siblings together. And we wanted to keep family together. Aiden has 10 cousins and 2 brothers – his family. Hope Cottage ignored the fact the father and grandparents wanted the child and took custody of him - JC-71-01097-X. It is like a death sentence. Please, do not let Hope Cottage do this to any other family! Please The Mother regrets giving the baby to Hope Cottage and thought the father could just go get the baby? I know, but remember she asked to mental help from Hope Cottage. The child was not abused? Yes, his parents are drug addicts. But even CPS tries to keep the children with the family. I thought the courts did too. The parents were not offered help. Just the child whisked away before any relative could take the child and love him. His brother age (13) Jaden is a National Honor Society Member and Elijah age (3) are well adjust and happy. Jaden comes almost every weekend and lives with his mother. Elijah lives with us his grandparents and is a happy well adjusted (yes spoiled) child. I am sure adoption is nice for kids that need to be adopted. In this case the child has a family and the family was not allowed to have any say in his pending adoption. He will never know who he is. He will not know his curly hair is because his grandfather is black (African America). He will not know his Grandmother is from a rich culture in the Appalachia hills of Southwest Virginia. He will not know going to Dollywood with all his cousins. Be he will be missed every time we get together for holidays and vacations.
