Query Text:

Searching for great grandaughter, born 3/16/1997, in Shelton,WA. Birth name, Katelynne Elizabeth Wallen. Placed for adoption by Kitsap County CPS against all family protests. Kate was 5 years old when they took her from us. Her mother, grand-mother and I love her and miss her and would like to know that she is safe and happy, and be a part of her life, if she wants us. Kate has dark hair and big blue eyes. Her mother was sent to prison and forced by CPS to sign off on her parental rights. I tried to gain custody of her, but was told by Tom Stokes, of Kitsap County CPS, that I could not have her "because they did not ever want her mother to see her again, and he didn't think her mother would ever be a fit parent" He does not beleive in rehabilatation. We, her family, would like for Katelynne to know that we love her and will never stop looking for her. If, when she turns 18 and wants to find us, I hope this will help. Katelynne's mothers name is Sabrina and her grandmother is Jill and my name it Sharon. This adoption was supposed to be and "open" adoption, but the adopting parents changed their mind and requested we have no contact with Kate. Her mother was promised yearly updates and photos which have not been provided to date. I have sent cards for every birthday and holiday, but have never heard anything from her CPS caseworker or Kate. I don't know if she even gets these, but I hope that CPS is at least saving them for her, and will give them to her on her 18th birthday, or whenever she askes for them. Katelynnes case worker was Virginia Ford-Falkner, at thre Bremerton office of CPS. Please God, let her be safe and happy and let her find us. We love and miss her so much.
