Christian D. Menefee Congratulations. If you can resolve this matter. You have my vote.   January 10, 2024: Hays County Judge- Denies my Petition for Adoption of 4 sibling brothers, from being adopted together; siding with DFPS recommendation to allow the children to continue in their separate placements and be adopted in separate homes, despite: 1) CPS naming me the adoptive placement for 2 of the 4 siblings ( in 2 out of the 5 days of the biological mother's termination trial) , and 2) Despite my using the judicial system and paying over $60K + in attorney fees in order to get my foster sons placed back into my home and adopted, along with their 2 little brothers; after parents rights were terminated; 3) Despite my foster sons repeated claims of wanting to be adopted by me and wanting to return to my home; 4) Despite CASA and CPS reports submitted to the court in December 2023 that show that the 4 sibling brothers' emotional and mental condition continue to worsen in the State's Care, in separate adoptive homes; not permitting them to be returned to my home). 5) Despite CPS testifying, in my adoption hearing, that they did not have a "good reason" for withholding consent of adopting the 4 brothers. On January 13, 2023; DFPS partnered with my foster care agency (in Harris County) to close my home citing, "due to DFPS concerns that I violated client confidentiality"; I was not provided with specific information about what that was, nor was I given any information on how to resolve any future incidents and was not provided with information on how I could appeal the decision. I have not been able to get licensed to adopt in Texas due to the foster care agency (in Harris County) stating in their transfer paperwork that "they do not recommend my home for future placement". DFPS' strategy was to make sure I did not have a license to foster/adopt when I was finally able to get my adoption hearing before the judge. They succeeded. DFPS and the foster care agency prefer children to stay in unlicensed placements and hotels rather than allow me the opportunity to give my foster sons and their 2 brothers a place to have called their own. The DFPS spent thousands of taxpayer dollars to block me from giving these 4 brothers a chance to have their family together again.) No one should have to: a. Max out their credit cards; b. Get a personal loan c. Empty their savings account d. Pull out all their retirement from the school district pension in order to adopt 4 sibling brothers out of foster care and be contested by a CPS caseworker that never visited my home, never spoke to me in person and knew me all but 3 weeks out of the 18 months my 2 foster sons were in my home.
