Support Accountability & Reveal The TRUTH!
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.

Please reconsider the impact this case will have on these two children. Forever severing their ties with a fit mother with whom they share a bond will impose a sentence of life-long, irreparable loss without cause.

Laws should protect the sanctity of motherhood and children's rights to be raised by their mothers. The Quets case is a disgrace to the legislative system of our nation. It's appaling.
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.
The rights of the biological parents should always be protected over anything. Children will always be better off with their real parents. Eventually, those children will have questions and traumas about their biological parents, why they gave them away, etc.? It is in the best interest of the children to be with their mother.
As long as a mother is willing and able to care for her children she should never be denied that God given right.
Shorstein and Stevens also took my baby. I had never considered adoption, and then suddenly he appears in my hospital, the day after my baby was born 10 years ago. I had never considered adoption. However I later learned that my daughter's pediatrician was related to a person who worked in the agency, and that is how they found me. They saw that I was from out of state and on Medicaid and thought I was easy prey. I told them that I did not want to do an adoption, that I wanted to keep my baby, and they refused to leave my hospital room until I had signed papers giving up my rights and assuring me that it was not final, I could change my mind and that if it went through it would be an open adoption. All lies. This is after 4 days of being medicated on painkillers, oxytocin, and a ton of other meds which kept me from having the strength to fight them. This is outrageous.
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.
To whoever will listen and help in anyway. PLEASE ALLOW THESE CHILDREN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR MOTHER THEY DESERVE...THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS JUST SO WRONG...ALLISON IS NOT A THREAT TO HER CHILDREN OR TO ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER. SHE AND THE TWINS DESERVE TO BE TOGETHER.
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.
These children belong with their mother!!!
There is no stronger bond than that between a child and a parent. It is sacred and should be interfered with only at considerable peril to those who insert themselves between parent and child. This situation regarding Holly, Tyler and their mother is an affront to any civilised notion of the sanctity of the parent child bond. Holly and Tyler should be returned and their right to their natural mother should be respected; we stand by natural family bonds or we risk the very foundations of our society.
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.
Every adopted child has a first mother and father, and deserves to know who they are, as well as the circumstances and terms of the placement decisions made on their behalf!
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.
Children belong with their birth Mother. This is human nature. Their is no bond greater then the bond of mother and child. These are Allison Quets' children and she wants them back. And she should have them back. She should of had these children back long ago. This is a sad day in America where "parental rights" are ignored. Where there's a will there's a way! If not today then tomorrow. I would never give up now. Never give up Allison.
A loving, well educated, competent, caring birth mother absolutely should have the rights to parent her children,without interference.
Being I'm a Mother of two Sons. I believe Allison should have the right to raise her two children. She carried Tyler & Holly. They are her blood. She has the Jeans & would be the only one that can see for there needs. And the family history of good values. I feel Allison is a competent parent. And it is very sad to see the Undue stress that Allison has been put through & The seperation of Tyler & Holly from her. For my first born son ,out of wedlock. I personlly told the childrens aid in Ontario. To get out of my room ,that I would raise my son. That I did not need their interferance. To this day I do not regreat & we are very close,he is now 42 yrs old. Doing very well. It seems there is to much interferance by our Gov. to take control of our lives.
The law is set in place so people can feel safe. Good people depend on the law to protect them and their children from the bad in the world. The law law should protct Holly and Tyler from people who want to take their only mother away. The law should protect any mother who is able and willing to care for her children (like Allison)and reunite her with the children she loves and misses.
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 state why a parent's right to a relationship with a child should be protected.
Please make a statement affirming that a mother who is competent and willing should not be denied to right to parent her children.
When a child is taken away from his mother it causes emotional distress. The child and mother has a bond that no one should be able to cut. When seperated the child will face becoming depressed, confused, and hurt.
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.
No mother should be separated from her children unless there is a history of mental illness where she has harmed others or she has shown that she would harm the children. Children and mothers do have that natural bond. I am a mother of 2 and it would literally kill me if they were ever taken away.
Please state why a parent's right to a relationship with a child should be protected.

Unseal the records so that the Truth may come out once and for all. Its seems Ms. Quets did everything she needed to do and was continuously denied her rights.
How can this be justice when Allison signed the adoption papers when she was clearly too impacted by her illness to make a sound decision? She had no legal representation of her own, and was not thinking clearly due to the effects of her frailty and exhaustion. It seems to me that she was taken advantage of in her weakened state. She's been fighting to overturn that moment's decision ever since. The Florida law disallowing a "lookback" period in private adoptions must be changed.
this happened to my sister, too back in the 80's and she is a responsible, caring mother. Please help Alison get her kids back- Marilyn.
As someone who also syffered with hyperemesis during my pregnancy, I understand how physically and emotionally devasting this illness is. Allison should not have been put in a position to sign documents, or be held accountable, in that condition.
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.
I know the true facts in this case as I lived through the early portions of it with Allison and her dear babies. She was a very sick person at that point in time and was taken advantage of by both the adoptive parents and a corrupt legal system in the state of Florida.
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!
I am a single mom with 3 children who have been in the Michigan foster care system since 2006. I have done everything that the courts have asked of me to do in order for me to get my children beck, yet I have been denied that right. No child should be denied the right to live with their biological partents. Children and their mothers have a natural bond that starts before the child is ever born. Just because I am a single mother and I hafe to work to support my children does not make me an incompetent parent. When will this injustice be taken care of?
More often than not, the truth is suppressed in these types of cases. This suppression supplies power to those who seek to separate families, often for corrupt reasons. The best interest of the child(ren) is very rarely truly considered, as the child(ren)'s are never spoken to by the attorney assigned to represent them; therefore, to claim their best interest is truly sought is mere disgrace.
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.
Children deserve to RETAIN the bond they have made with their Mother's even before birth. Where is the protection of their rights as people - NOT PROPERTY! (AND STOP CALLING US "BIRTH"MOTHERS. We are MOTHERS. Plain and simple.)
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...
A child's relationship with their mother is extremely important in developing character and making them into a successful individual because the mother is an important role model.
There is no reason to separate children from a mother that is more than able to care and provide for her two children!
A mother who is competent and willing should not be denied the right to parent her children!
