Dear F**'s,
I made several copies of this (with the photo attached :-) ) and placed one in every Sunday school room at our church and at every entrance. The pastor also made an announcement during church. Several people came up to me and said their whole class prayed for Mara and will continue to do so. The Senior Saints class are going to meet in prayer at 3:00 Mountain time in corporate prayer on her behalf! Many told me of their intention to write Judge Woods. Also- one of Paul's Prayer Team members took a copy back to her church James Assembly (an awesome mega church in Springfield) J*****, so many people are praying specifically for your comfort and that you will find peace during your wait for the Judges decision.
I mailed my letter already also.....I am forwarding you a copy also.
with love and prayer, Mom
p.s. I sent His Honor a copy of the photo also :-)
Tomorrow Update
The Judge announced yesterday that he will be making his ruling on Thursday, June 11th at 3:30 pm. He has closed any further courtroom testimony- however is open to any letters concerning this decision.
Please continue to pray for the best outcome concerning this precious
little girl. If you feel moved to support them with a letter- I thank
you in advance.

For those of you who need refreshing on this situation:
Tomorrow was given to my daughter **** and her husband Mike for emergency
protective foster care at 5 weeks old. She had been hospitalized with 24
broken bones and put in a full body cast! To date no one has been
arrested or charged for her abuse. She is now 22 months old and healed
physically and emotionally.This hearing is hopefully to terminate the
biological parental rights and allow adoption of Tomorrow by my daughter and
her husband. The hearings have been going on since March. My daughter
and her husband are the only loving parents she has ever known in her
short lifetime. They are hoping to adopt her and we are all very anxiously
awaiting a good outcome.

Dear Honorable Judge Woods,
I am writing concerning your decision regarding ****** ****** on Thursday June 11th At 3:30 pm.
I am known to this precious little girl as “Nana”. My daughter ******* and her husband Mike have had protective custody since she was placed with them at 5 weeks with 24 broken bones and in a full body cast. The minute my daughter called me about her Tomorrow entered my heart as my granddaughter. My husband and I have 15 grandchildren and another on the way. When I count our grandchildren Tomorrow is included. I have found it doesn’t matter how a child comes into your life you love them all the same and consider them a blessing. Since there has been no arrests or lawsuits and no one has been formally charged with her abuse , I trust you will not allow her to go back to that situation ..only to be abused again ….or worse. I don’t know about you but I have lost a lot of sleep over worrying about the future of our little Tomorrow should she be returned to her biological parent(s). The loving care and acceptance Tomorrow has received from us all has helped formed her into a healthy well-adjusted little girl. And my daughter and her husband should be credited with instinctively knowing just how to take care of her special needs. In this case she would only be further traumatized if she was to be removed from her foster parents home as they are the only loving parents she has known. I am enclosing a photo of myself and Tomorrow (that’s what we call T*****) taken this past Mother's Day at our celebration that included my mother and all three of my daughters. Even though I live in another state - we make it a point to stay close with our grandchildren and visit as often as possible…..as you can see from the photo Tomorrow and I are are bonded and share a loving grandparent/grandchild relationship. When I phone their home I can hear Tomorrow’s squeals of delight that Nana’s calling and my daughter says she runs to get the photo album I made for her with my photo in it. My husband and I have a very stable marriage and own a small propane delivery service and 170 acre farm in Missouri. We raise cattle and horses, and our small farm provides our family with fresh eggs and produce. We have 2 other grandchildren with special needs (autism and spina bifida) and our family is well equipped to provide the extra care,
support and attention these children and their parents require. I hope this provides you with a clear idea of how Tomorrow will benefit should you decide to terminate her biological parents rights and open her for permanent placement through adoption with her foster parents Mike and J****** F** . I thank you for your time and concern for this situation.
Sincerely, A** M. P*****
