:grouphug:  I will be thinking of you (and praying, too).

[klmama 4,348]

Praying.   :grouphug:

[fraidycat 10,881]

Sending positive thoughts.

[TravelingChris 6,574]

Still praying.  And yes, common sense is seeming to get rarely now

[Tap 10,840]

((((prayers and positive thoughts)))))

[Carol in Cal. 20,283]

Praying right now.

[Melissa in Australia 10,434]

Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts.

I wish I could reach my arms around the world and giver you a hug IRL. You have tried so hard to make the right decisions and to live a kind, generous and compassionate life.  It is so hard when doing the right thing, comes back to bite you. The expression "no good deed goes unpunished" exists for a reason.  So many times, the hurt and drama in some peoples lives, just seems to spread out, grow and overcome the good in others. I wish I could take away the hurt and rewind time for you.

I'm so sorry for the pain, hurt, and trauma. You've given everything and more than anyone could ever ask of you or your family. It's more than wrong for an official to find any fault with the love and care you've given. (((Hugs)))

I am so sorry. How long do you have to wait? Is there a possibility that this decision could be the end of this horrid chapter?

All of this. You’ve tried so hard and been so loving and generous in the hardest of circumstances. I wish we could do more than just hug and pray :(

if the outcome is bad then it is possible that this will be the end of me being able to work - it is possible  to lose everything, other children etc. -  if the outcome is in our favour than it is possible that it will be the end of the current situation

[Arctic Mama 34,165]

Sheesh, talk about high stakes. I’ll keep praying here.

[SKL 49,639]

Please know that I'm praying nonstop for you.

This is pretty much what I had figured.  When will you hear something about the decision?

we were told 2 weeks, but so far everything has not been going according to their regulations and rules on timelines

[Rachel 6,539]

Melissa, I am so sorry it’s so serious. Just praying for you and thinking of you and offering virtual hugs.

[Kinsa 31,127]

Two weeks?!? Holysmokes! I think I'd need a two-week dose of valium. Even more hugs to you and yours.

[JudoMom 5,074]

I am so sorry.  Praying for a positive outcome and peace while you wait.  How horrible.

[Innisfree 5,093]

I'd be a basket case. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this ordeal. Best wishes for peace, sanity and a good outcome, ASAP.

[LMD 7,384]

Wow, what an absolute crock of swearwords. Praying and thinking of you Melissa.

[Starr 5,658]

More and more  :grouphug: s.

[PrincessMommy 8,179]

wow, I don't know what is happening but it sounds like high stakes.  prayers for a positive outcome... and hugs.

[mumto2 29,126]

[StellaM 92,081]

This is such a travesty, Melissa. Hope you can manage to wait out the two weeks and that you get a good outcome.

[Melissa in Australia 10,434]

We are relieved that we have finally been able to appeal. We lodged the appeal in beginning of November. The process is meant to be done in 28 days. it was not until Wednesday this week that we even knew if our request for an appeal would be acted on. the whole process started in September and has dragged on and on . with much misinformation, lack of communication and most frustrating the complete lack of ability to defend ourselves on unknown allegations. even now we have appealed we don't fully know what we are appealing as no official documentation has been provided to us.

??? You're not allowed to know the allegations ?? I don't understand how that can be OK! 

[Melissa in Australia 10,434]

We are meant to know the allegations, but we haven't been officially informed, just given A brief unofficial email .theappeal person was quite shocked that we haven't been given an official letter with allegations etc. the wholeprocess has been a huge mess

What a nightmare.

 

The very least they could do would be to behave competently.

Wow. You must be a strong person. I’m so sorry you are going through this.

[mommyoffive 3,674]

What a horrible nightmare you are in. 

 

I am sending prayers that the nightmare is over very soon for you.  

 

Positive positive thoughts. 

[lllll 3,992]

Still thinking of you and your family, Melissa.  And praying for y'all.

I'm not sure how the legal system works in Australia, but it sounds like if this doesn't turn out in your favor, you would have grounds for an appeal of that decision based on not being properly informed within the 28 day period.

 

I'm so sorry you are going through all of this, and pray that the ruling will be in your favor.

Bureaucracies are a nightmare, a genuine nightmare.  I hope for the best for you; that you get a quick decision and the right one :)

[JoJosMom 27,446]

Oh, dear God. I just saw this. I will pray for you and your family.

 

I agree with a poster above.  There simply aren't enough swear words to adequately describe this. I guess bureaucracies are bureaucracies the world around. And yet the bureaucrats wonder why people refuse to participate in the system?

At the moment we are not in the "legal System" but rather a system that makes its own rules and changes them whenever it suits them. They are being very careful to keep it out of the actual legal system

sorry to be so vague.

 

 When it is hopefully over I will post about it. as a warning to others what can happen
