Dear Obama, It was brought to my attention by Ken Patis of Children Services in Washington State, adoption Unit Supervisor. Mr. Patis has stated to me, he didn’t receive a copy of the adoption packet, adoption home study and Intra State Compact my wife Sharon completed, August 2010 through Children Service’s in Springfield, Ohio. The information was submitted to the State of Ohio and Washington State in a timely manner. Mr. Patis stated to me that he didn’t have our adoption information and it wasn’t being considered, in the adoption of Shayna. Why not? My wife and I are Shayna Krueger’s grandparents. Shayna has family wanting and available to adopt her, parental rights has illegally been terminated . Children Services told Family Court in Tumwater Washington, that Shayna has no family willing to adopt her, only single Foster Parent, Laura Anderson’s adoption will be considered. This is deceitful, low down dirty stunt, Children Services is pulling. It is clear that Washington State, Senator Cantwell, Ms. Denise Revels Robinson of D.S.H.S. Asst Secretary and that low life Governor Gregorie, do not support Family First Law’s in Washington State. Sir, Kim Gabbard of Children Services asked me to purchase a Webcam for Online visits with my grandchild, she arranged weekly phone visits, encouraged us to send gifts and cards. Shayna has been in Foster care far to long. It’s not right to keep her in that situation any longer. Enough! I am Demanding my granddaughter Now!! This is America not Afghanistan. Governor Gregoire is Out of Control and needs to be impeached, I have requested your help several times. Does one have to say or do crazy things getting media attention, to get your help? I have served this country over twenty active years, If I were a White man, I’d have my granddaughter. That’s the way they have made me feel. I’ll put on my Dress Blues, stand on the highway with a sign if need be. The sign will say,” President Obama, Senator Cantwell, and Governor Gregoire of Washington State don’t support FAMILY FIRST LAW’S. Save my 3 year old Grandchild. Please help!! My granddaughter has rights, Shayna has the same rights you had when your grandparents raised you, and your children will have. Shayna has the same right’s that Governor Gregoire, Denise Revels Robinson and Senator Cantwell’s grandchildren have. The right to know and love her grandparent’s. I have requested my granddaughter from the beginning of Foster care to adopt. Two and half years in Foster care is too long. I am Demanding that Washington State follow the Family First Law’s, and get our adoption and home study, they initiated. These problems have gone on long enough under the watchful of the Governor. I am also requesting a Federal Investigation of D.S.H.S. Children Service’s in that State.

Dear Sir,
My son Jarel Lawson and I feel that he and Jennifer Krueger, parent’s of Shayna Krueger, are being intimidated into signing an agreement of guardianship concerning Shayna Krueger. Jarel and Jennifer are being told by the State of Washington, the Department of Children Service‘s, if they didn’t sign the guardianship document then both would lose Shayna to adoption, forever. Jennifer’s former attorney wasn’t helping at all, confusing her, had Jennifer convinced, to sign over parenting rights to Foster Caregiver, Laura Anderson. My son, has stated to me, he is also being intimidated into signing the guardianship document, told he would lose rights to Shayna. These threats, intimidation, arm twisting and bullying by the State of Washington, D.S.H.S. and Children Service’s Must Stop!! It cannot and will not be tolerated. It was never proven that Jennifer was an unfit parent or unsuitable . The whole time Jennifer was being tricked into signing over Shayna Krueger to Foster Care. Jennifer was intimidated from the beginning to sign Shayna over to Children Service’s, they even brought along a Police Officer, to further intimidate. I am Demanding that Shayna be put back into the home, with Jennifer Krueger. Children Service’s, fiasco has caused enough grief and hardship to my family and the tax payers of Washington State. I Demand it, Stop the Bullying, and threats to the parent’s of my grandchild, give the Child to her Mother, Jennifer. I have expressed my concern to Governor Gregiore, Senator Cantwell and Mr. Wickham, the Judge in this matter, it’s reported that he is a, Yes Man and flunky for Family Court. Sir, Washington State is Out of Control, stealing children out of the home. Please Help!! with this matter.

Dear Governor Strickland,
I have requested your help several times concerning my granddaughter, Shayna Krueger, in Washington State. Sir, you have ignored my requests for help. I know you can help, you helped Inmate Kevin Keith, who was convicted of breaking into a flat and spraying it with bullets. Police found a four year old child dead alongside her mother and aunt. I’m not for the death penalty, but personally, if you save this inmate again, I think your career would be finished. Sir, please contact Governor Gregoire of Washington State and ask her to release my granddaughter from her “suitable placement“, so that family can adopt her in Ohio. Today I met with a kind gentleman by the name of Robert Hackett, State Representative, a good man that cares. I have the email address of John Kasich. I know he supports family values and feels that family should be cared for by family/kin. I hoped that you shared the same views. The staff at your office has given me the, Run Around. Shayna’s entire life is at stake. I guess Shayna would have to be an inmate for you to step in and do something.
Please contact Washington State and ask the Governor to do this for a grandfather who served this country proudly for 22 years in the United States Army. I don’t feel like this is a lot to ask. I have an appointment with a news reporter who has agreed to publish an article about our pleas to raise our granddaughter and allow her to grow up in the loving care of her family. I want to be able to report that you helped us. Bringing my granddaughter here and allowing her to be raised by family instead of boyfriend, girlfriend, suitable placement. Shayna is innocent and has the right to be with family, family means a lot to me and will to her as she grows older, Please help.
