I am a natural mother of

I am a natural mother of eight and one-half year old twin girls. A false allegation of abuse has lead the girls into the pa. children and families system. The girls, having been cruelly separated from me, their only caregiver (teacher of homeschool,single,mother),have now also been separated from each other, with no contact allowed. This was based on a psychological report of one doctor who interviewed the children for less than an hour each, giving them (both) a c-gas score of 50. These are bright,gregarious, intelligent girls(who read at a reported 9th grade level)who deserve better. There is a dependency hearing coming up on 9/5/08. I am sickened by this negligent-seeming report, as it will have a profound effect on the judge's ruling. Our little family has always been happy,and I give the utmost focus to my girls' needs as individuals, AND as twins. We've been complimented since my girls were born on our wonderful family dynamic, but this one psychologist, on the basis of a harried interview, is about to wreak havoc. I am in dire need of local reccommendation. sincerely, C. G.
