Marie,

I have specifically requested my son have a few photos of me and him, and other people he cares about or knew. I asked my mother to send Holly some photos and out of all of them, she only printed out ONE for my son. The rest he does not have access to. I also asked Holly to print out photos of himself and of the two of us together which are easy to find on my blog, which Holly reads practically every day, and she has not done this.

I also overheard Holly's husband Pablo, say in Spanish (probably thinking I wouldn't understand) to company that was there, that Oliver didn't like talking on the phone, or to me. I was on the phone with Oliver when I overheard this comment.

I am troubled by the fact that not only CPS, but my aunt has not kept me informed as to my son's development, progress, and medical appointments, and has even refused to give him photos of his mother and himself, from the very beginning, which I know are a comfort to my son. It seems the plan here, is to try to force me out of my son's life and completely BREAK the bond. No effort whatever is being made to keep up the contact and communication between us, except as is the MINIMUM mandate by state law, which is such a low minimum, it's purpose is to accomodate parents who really do mentally abuse their kids, or physically abuse them, who may even be a disturbing presence to their kids.

This is not the case with me or my son. My son needs more time with me and enjoys our time together. Last visit, he didn't cry when my aunt left, at all, and he didn't want to leave me at the end of the visit either, and that's with only 4 hours a week contact, after almost an initial first month of total separation.

My aunt has already told me Pablo likes to have Oliver around and I believe their interest is in trying to adopt him. My own grandparents told me this was the case, and that they support this because I'm, of course, not capable of meeting his "spiritual needs" is what they would say. They want my son to be a holy-roller, no buts about it. They want my son to receive "laying on of hands" and probably hope he's even "speaking in tongues" by the time he's 4. Maybe they even think that's what he does NOW when he babbles. My son is not speaking more with my aunt either. His verbal progress is the same as it was with me==nothing at all except one or two words and then extremely slow additions which are mispronounced.

I gave my son's medical records to the last lawyer I was talking to and have to get them back. I therefore cannot have them faxed today, but hope to get them to you by Monday.

Please obtain my son's pediatric dental appointment records from the Wenatchee clinic and U of W clinic, to see the diagnosis for his enamel dysplasia, which they said was caused by his birth trauma and is rare. He didn't have "teeth trauma" as Pamela weirdly put it (did she even go to college? if someone needs Mensa testing, she does), and my son's birth injuries are real

I am concerned that my aunt, even in her own house, is not doing things to foster and keep up contact and my memory with my son. He loves to look at photos, and she won't give them to my son.

She also refused to tell me about the speech therapist, which is odd. She told me about him seeing a PCP, but not the speech therapist. I believe either she was advised by YOU not to discuss the speech therapy with me, or ?

I know my mother and my aunt Holly are extremely close. If I am in an argument with my mother, Holly always defends my mom, no matter how wrong she is. Holly would attempt to keep Oliver from me, to punish me, on behalf of my mother. As I have included some things about my mother in my blog, my mother refuses to answer my email or respond, and Holly began taking it out on me. She will work against me, the entire Baird family will, to conceal their own problems, which are multiple.

I want my son to get the photos Holly has already, all she has to do is PRINT THEM OUT and give them to my son. I've already asked, more than once. I also want you to obtain my son's dental records, because I don't have those and I'll get the other ones to you on Monday.

Finally, I want ANY and ALL medical records for my son, sent to me. This is discovery and my right as a parent to have. I need the names of the clinics and people he's seen already.

You have not responded to my requests for these records. Please do so today.

Thanks.
