Current mood:  disgusted



The couple from American Fork, Utah,  Jed and Cally Nielson, who we posted about earlier who were ordered to give this baby back to his natural father are refusing to give him back! If you remember, they have a court order from Idaho to give this child back. It appears court orders from another state are meaningless to the LDS Family Services, the Nielsons and their attorneys.

This is no lie, the Nielsons are refusing to hand this precious baby over, DEFYING A COURT ORDER and have hired two attorneys, one in Idaho and Larry S. Jenkins in Utah to represent them. This is the same couple who asked for funds stating they have exhausted all their money, yet they can retain these high powered lawyers now? Wonder who 's footing the bill, is it the Mormon Church?

So is the LDS Family Services and Larry Jenkins counciling the Nielsons to NOT hand the baby over and defy a court order? OMG, how arrogant!!

Here's a couple of articles about this currently in the news.

This first article is in the Deseret Morning News, a Mormon owned newspaper. Here's some quotes from that article:

"During a court hearing last week, an Idaho judge gave the birth father, Matt Tenneson, 20, of Coeur d'Alene, temporary primary custody of the 5 1/2-month-old baby.

But Jed and Callie Nielson, who have had the baby since June, say they won't give baby Harvey back without a legal fight. In fact, they say they are thinking optimistically and have been buying Christmas presents for the baby."

"Jenkins said he is reviewing the case and working on strategy.

"It's early in the game," he said."

"Our goal is to keep the the little boy with the Nielsons."

The second article is from the Coeur d'Alene Press.

I'm praying Gods justice prevails here (which it will), and I'm standing on these scriptures:

Proverbs 21:15
When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.

Proverbs 28:10
He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

For those who believe in the power of prayer, please pray for justice to prevail quickly in this case and this adorable child goes back to his natural father and the grandparents who are fighting for him. What is happening is WRONG! We'll be posting people you can write if you choose to stand by the Tennisons. Look for this in a future posting. God bless you all!

I am going to check out HMS' myspace after writing this comment.


I am horrified that this is happening.
When did children become property? And because you're a dad, you don't have rights? Does this mean that if I were to die then my children's father would no longer have any rights? When did it become legal for woman to give a baby up for adoption and not tell the father of the child that they were doing this?

What do the adoptive parents think they are doing? Hurting the child is all. Let's pretend it's 15-17 years in the future. And the baby is now a teenager. And the baby who is now a teenager says to the adoptive parents "I'd like to meet my biological parents." Yes adoptive children and children who have 1 or more missing parent(s) become curious about their genes and their biological parent(s). What's the adoptive parent going to say then? When the child is no longer a child and something they can hold onto like a piece of land or a house.


I was curious about my bio dad. I wasn't adopted, just had a bio dad who didn't want to take care of his child. It didn't matter I HAD to know what he looked like, what he acted like. Did I like to read coz of him? Was I good in math coz he was (negative to both I found out later, it was my stepdad who taught me math and why I loved it. It was my stepdad who taught me how to spell. I only write stepdad so you'll know who he was, to me he was "Dad".) Irrespective had I found out I was given away by my bio mother and my dad had desperately tried to take care of me but wasn't allowed to because of my adoptive parents, I'd be mad beyond belief and I'd have a hard time forgiving them.


It's odd but people think in the "here and now". Guess what Nielsons they grow up! Yes that baby will one day be a teen and then a young adult, one day he'll be the age that his dad is right now, you know the one who's desperate to see his son? And when the baby grows up and starts asking questions and sees in the papers what you did, how are you going to explain it? "Oh we loved you so much we stole you from your dad". That doesn't quite make it right.


If you love someone let them go...

The child does NOT belong to anyone. The child is NOT property. You DON'T own the child. The child will not stay a child forever. And you will have a lot of explaining to do. It's best to do what's right now then to drag it on because you are so selfish you are only concerned about yourself.


Don't say it's because the child would be better with you. Are you going to chase Matt Tenneson around and adopt all of his children (if he decides to have more in the future)? Because if you say your doing this for what's "best" for the child then that means that Mr. Tenneson shouldn't have custody of any of his future children but you should take custody of them. I highly doubt you care about Mr. Tenneson but only about the child he produced. I doubt you care too much about his future children, or the fact that the child you are holding on to may someday have siblings? I can't even fathom how you are making this father and his parents feel right now. If someone took my grandson, I would absolutely want to die. What you are doing is evil, causing people to hurt, breaking up a family. Taking a child from it's father, it's grandmother, its grandfather. Breaking a BOND that you will NEVER know, because if you knew, you'd put the child first.
This is not putting the child first! Shame on you!

Sickening, this makes adoptions look bad, mormons look bad, churches look bad & woman look bad. I'm horrified and disgusted.
