Our Story

Poca is a special needs 4-year-old foster child from the Seattle area who was recently torn away from the only place she's ever called home. She was taken from loving, stable foster parents who have raised her since infancy. Why? Washington state's child welfare system is punishing the foster parents for speaking up against the system. Unfortunately, Poca is the true victim. She's now in a new foster home with people she barely knows. Her story has outraged people across the nation. Thank you for visiting this site to help fight for Poca.

Love for Poca

Just watched the new segment on KING 5. It is so hard to describe our emotions. We are sad for everyone who has become a victim of a broken system. We are also overwhelmed by the other families that have been torn apart. It was surreal to see so many that are going through the same thing as we are. It is extremely disheartening to see so many good people having their lives turned upside down and so many children ripped apart.

We continue to try to have faith and yet feel grief and anxiety over Poca's future. We love her with all of our hearts. No matter where she is, she will forever be a part of our family and we will love her. There is not an hour that goes by that we do not think of her. There is not a day that goes by that the girls do not say "they want their sister back". We pray that the foundation she received for the past 4 years will hold her up.

We long every day to hold her, tell her how much we love and adore her, and would give anything to spend another day with her. We long to hold her tight and never let go. There is a bond that cannot be broken, no matter what.
