I firmly believe in my heart and soul that mothers and children belong together and should not be separated except in rare, extreme circumstances. My precious twins belong with the one mother perfectly chosen by God, and that is the mother who carried these babies in her womb and delivered them. I, my son, and my daughter have a bond that should be honored and preserved, as well as a fundamental constitutional right to be a permanent family.
Conceiving and carrying my children was a monumental effort. At about 14 weeks, I developed complications and suffered everyday with a severe and debilitating illness known as hyperemesis gravidarum. I only gained 10 lbs during the entire twin pregnancy and required an intravenous feeding tube and liquid IV nutrition in order to survive and deliver two term babies. At delivery, I was weak, depleted, exhausted, sleep deprived, traumatized, and very, very ill. Hence, I was neither strong enough nor healthy enough to recognize and oppose the forces seeking to destroy my precious family.
It is my desire that all the records related to this case be opened immediately. The court case consists of expert witness testimony, the testimony of the parties involved, the process used to separate me from my children, and the methods used to obtain my signature. Essentially, it is the conduct of the adults that was investigated during the 9 day trial in Florida, not the best interests of my children; the children were mentioned infrequently.
Additionally, the constitutionality of Florida statutes was argued, and the applicability of federal law was debated. These issues remain unresolved. With sealed records, there is no accountability of the parties involved, and no chance to protect my family's rights, no chance for anyone to protect his/her rights if they are ignored.
Unsealing these records would reveal the truth of this case and ensure justice to all involved. The privacy of the children would not be impacted in any way. Someday, Tyler and Holly will see the record as it is part of their history.
Secrecy breeds deceit and deceit breeds corruption and greed. The result is damage, pain, and hardship. Tyler and Holly should be spared the unnecessary grief and trauma imposed by severing our relationship without cause. Publicizing the truth would force the courts to finally consider the best interests of my children, not that of those profiting from this arrangement.
If you support the unsealing of these records, the accountability of the professionals involved, and the protection of family rights, please sign this petition.

The circumstances leading up to the adoption deserve careful re-examination. Ms. Quets medical condition due to her difficult pregnancy and her resulting temporary health issues solidly support her claim that she was unable to fully understand the adoption terms put before her by the Needhams and their representatives or resist their pressure for her to sign over her parental rights. It is heartbreaking to learn the facts of this case and see how Ms. Quets has been denied the opportunity to raise her children for the past 3 years. Please do all you can to ensure that she receives a fair and impartial re-evaluation of the facts.
Itīs an undisputable right to love that the State canīt undermind. Allison Quest never gave up her rights to mother these children, and they will be aware of that as adults, reckoning their lost with those who locked up their mother.
Mothers love is not comarable to anything in the world, it's strongest than metal, and it can make you moove mountains. Never give up!
A mother has the right a reponsiblity to love, protect, and fight for her children. Therfore they have the right to take care their own child.
When will these precious children be returned to their mother? When will this travesty be rectified? Please make all facts known about this case. We the public want to know.
As long as a mother is willing and able to care for her children she should never be denied that God given right.
A lawyer and social worker who prey on vulnerable women should be in jail and their practices shut down. There should be a class action lawsuit against these monsters and there should be an international investigation on the conduct of these lawyers and agencies. Since these children were taken against their parents' will, they should be returned to their parents.
LOOK AT HOW MANY CHANCES MOTHER GET BEFORE THEIR CHILDREN ARE TAKEN AWAY FOR ABUSE OR NEGLETE, HERE IS A MOTHER WHO JUST LOVES THEM AND WOULD NEVER BRING THEM ANY HARM AND SHE ISN'T EVEN ALLOWED TO SEE THEM. THIS WHOLE STORY IS JUST A SHAME. THE ONLY CONCERN I SEE IN THIS CASE IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING THE CHILDREN, THE ONES WHO HAVE HURT THEM IN THE WORST WAY, KEEPING THEM FROM THEIR MOTHER........PLEASE HELP THE TWINS AND THEIR MOTHER.
Any parent who is fit and competent has the right to parent their children; this applies to mothers and fathers equally and is in the best interests of the children. Allison deserved support at a very difficult and frightening time, unfortunately none was forthcoming. I fail to understand how a coercive adoption under clear duress can be construed as "support" for a mother and 2 six week old children and I am deeply disturbed at the apparent failure to protect mother and babies. I n fact, I am not so much disturbed as deeply angry - this should not stand.
Allison Quetts is a victim of circumstance and I urge the states of NC and FL to recognize how her children have been wrongly kept from her, whatever her own culpability may have been.
A loving, well educated, competent, caring birth mother absolutely should have the rights to parent her children,without interference.
No mother should ever have to go through life without her children. Allison deseves her babies back and the desever their momther who loves them back.
Please make a statement affirming that a mother who is competent and willing should not be denied to right to parent her children.
Any mother should not be denied the right to raise her flesh, her blood, her child at any given time if she will willing and able to love unconditionally,provide what is necessary, and give emotionally to her child.
Please make a statement affirming that a mother who is competent and willing should not be denied to right to parent her children.
The courts need to do the right thing now - unseal the records and return the children to their birth mother. Allison obviously loves her children and is the best person to raise them, not strangers who took advantage of her situation during her illness.
Who could deny a mother who is both competent and loving and who went through an extremely rough nine months in order to bring two beautiful babies into the world her rights to raise them in a loving, caring environment? Only people who are selfish, inconsiderate and evil to the core and who took advantage of a corrupt legal system in the state of Florida!
Children should not be removed from their parents unless abuse against the children is evident - beyond ANY reasonable doubt. Severe criminals, such as murderers and rapists, are given much more proper justice procedures than parent who may be just merely accused of wrongdoing to his / her child(ren). Cruel and unusual punishment is the outcome of such a case; however, the innocent children pay an undeserving price, as well as their parents.
No child should ever be removed from a caring and competent first family. ESPECIALLY through means of coersion. Too often, frightened and confusted women lose their children without recieving proper assistance to preserve their family. If a parent is deemed unfit then placement should be with FAMILY FIRST. Adoption should be a last resort when other natural family options for placement have been exhausted. Funny that we have a million adoption assistance programs but funding has been cut to the few services available to struggling families. Hang in there Allison, we are behind you...
There is no reason to separate children from a mother that is more than able to care and provide for her two children!
