TODAY & TOMORROW, HINDSIGHT AND FORESIGHT, GRIEF AND HOPE

Below I am taking you back to the first post that I wrote about Ayn and her dad Derek, dated June 25, 2011. Imagine. June 16th is when their world came crashing in. Here we are today on the eve of another Court Hearing, tomorrow April 1st.
Many scores of posts later, we are nearing three years that Ayn has been away from her family home.

To that June 30th entry there were 27 comments from readers as the wave of support began to build. Friends had generated this Facebook page and subscribers grew into the thousands. Many people thought that this case would be resolved sensibly and short order. Others with experience with MCFD knew that these cases can drag on interminably and in a case such as this, it is not “in the best interest of the child,” regardless of how MCFD tries to justify it.

APRIL FOOL'S DAY will tell us a great deal about MCFD, The Ministry of Children and Family Development.
