Rescue The Fosters

Chip and Monique are two of the families targeted by the Special Victims Unit- DHS in Georgia!! The McCord family — a Christian conservative couple who lovingly adopted two children through private adoptions — set out to build a peaceful, happy home. Life was simple and full of love... until everything changed.On December 1, 2023, their world was turned upside down when Georgia’s Special Victims Unit arrived. Monique was held in her own home as officers took the son she had raised for 13 years and placed him with his biological mother. Just one month later, DFCS came again — this time for their adoptive daughter.What followed has been a two-year battle to fight for their children and uncover the truth.

Diana Sullivan married her middle school sweetheart at just 21 years old, and together they are approaching 20 years of marriage built on faith, perseverance, and deep love. From the very beginning, they dreamed of a big family—but their path to parenthood was anything but easy. After 14 years of heartbreak, prayer, and countless medical treatments, their long-awaited miracle arrived through IVF. Their daughter, Arabella, was born in December 2019, and she was worth every needle, every tear, and every unanswered prayer that came before her. Parenthood exceeded everything they had imagined. Knowing how much love they had to give, Diana and her husband hoped to give Arabella a sibling. After another two and a half years and a full IVF cycle, they transferred their final two embryos. When asked what she wanted for her third birthday, Arabella answered simply, “Both.” Her wish was granted. Diana was pregnant with twins—a baby boy and a baby girl—due in August 2023. After a complicated pregnancy and a final trimester spent on strict hospital bedrest, preterm labor struck unexpectedly on July 2, 2023, leading to an emergency C-section. Their son was born just under five pounds, and their daughter just over three. After 42 long days in the NICU, the family was finally home—complete after 16 years of waiting. For seven precious weeks, life felt whole. Then, at just 11 weeks and 6 days old, their daughter awoke with a swollen thigh. What began as a terrified early-morning trip to the emergency room quickly turned into something unimaginable. Instead of compassion, Diana and her husband were met with accusations, suspicion, and separation—marking the beginning of a 19-month ordeal that would change their lives forever. This is Diana’s story of faith tested, motherhood challenged, and a world she never knew existed—until it became her reality.

Connie Reguli could have never imagined her path to activism.It began when she decided to pursue a second career in law, attending night school while juggling two other jobs. Earning her law license at the age of 42 meant she brought a wealth of life experiences with her into the courtroom. Her legal career led her to focus on child welfare and domestic litigation, where she witnessed mistreatment of litigants and corruption among judges as early as 2002. In 2008, she took the initiative to educate state legislators about the process for removing judges. Since then, she has been relentless in her efforts, fighting against child protective services to defend parents' rights. In 2019, however, a corrupt prosecutor, detective, and state's attorney falsely charged her and her client with crimes. A biased judge allowed the charges to proceed, turning Reguli and her client into felons. It took two years to overturn these felonies and have the charges dismissed.Through social media, Reguli has established an advocacy platform called the Family Forward Project, which has over 19,000 members. She actively lobbies in Washington and continues to champion the rights of families.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1By4DciyUU/X: https://x.com/FamilyForwardPr

The Kelch family are loving grandparents fighting to see their 3 beautiful granddaughters. Georgia DFCS became involved while they were caring for all 5 grandchildren. Though the court recognized their home as safe and stable for their 2 grandsons, they were unjustly separated from their 3 granddaughters.

I am a mother of 3 amazing Choctaw native American boys that are being alienated/ divided from me, I am being erased from their lives.I had full custody up until May of 2020 when the grandparents my parents did not like that I was moving and removing my boys from a toxic dysfunctional family situation. My mother was so extremely jealous of the relationship I had with my Boys that she would at all cost do anything to destroy mine and my boys lives.Grandparents have a close relationship with the retired Judge and he does whatever they ask and believes all the accusations and lies.I had someone from their school come forward and tell me that the judge himself contacted the schools and told them not to let me pick up my boys that the grandmother was on her way. That he had met and they informed him that I was crazy and they need to get the boys immediately and that he believed them and they were to give the boys to my mother and not me. Granted we had not gone to court had NO ORDERS, NO Law enforcement and NO permission to take them. KIDNAPPING!!! Under the color of law. .My children were happy healthy thriving boys with no issues whatsoever.15 years prior to this they had taken my sisters daughter except she didn’t fight them.Also they have stalked me put spyware on my children’s phones and law enforcement refused to help me.13 CPS report of abuse made by other people no me, counselor, friends parents, teacher etc.Grand father strangled the 10 year old in Rosenburg, Texas and they were about to be indicted when the judge from here contact the DA and lied and said I had made the strangulation story up… and it was dismissed. My 13 year old at the time recorded the whole incident and I had that recording of it all. The local sheriff and deputy’s refused to protect my boys and give them and protective order while the Rosenberg case was being investigated they told me their was nothing they could do. I had to go in front of the retired judge “my dads good buddy he worked with over 40 years” and see what he said he threatened me total me he would put me in jail for 3 years no bond if I spoke ill of him law enforcement my parents their attorneys etc. and refused to help.4 and a half years ago they took my oldest first and alienated him, he was diagnosed with parental alienation syndrome, and 2 years ago they took the other 2 boys by kidnapping them as well and but with the help of the sheriff and a few deputies. When they picked up my youngest son my mother a deputy made my son say that I was mean and hit him. The deputy said when I turn on my body camera you say exactly what you r grandmother told you to and he said mommy I was crying because they said if I didn’t say this I would neve see you again.The judge has stated I will never get my children back ever.

Chip and his wife are adoptive parents from Georgia who never imagined their family would be torn apart by the system meant to protect children. Falsely accused of child trafficking by Georgia’s DHS Special Victims Unit, they endured a year-long legal battle in Cobb County Juvenile Court to reunite with their son. This podcast shares their journey, their fight for justice, and the truth behind family separation.

In 2017 my son was medically kidnapped after my husband and I brought him into the hospital with a swollen arm where they x-rayed him and found rib fractures in various stages of healing and a fracture in his arm. They took him into foster care and arrested my husband. In foster care he sustained two more fractures and they still severed our rights and convicted my husband. He is currently serving 12 years in prison for it. (He was convicted in 2019). Our son was able to be placed with my parents after 11 months in foster care (they refused for that long to give him to them because they believed “they must be crazy for supporting people who abuse their child”). After my husband was convicted and our son had to be adopted by my parents I decided to start going to college to get into law school to fight for families like mine. I graduate law school next year and have been doing post-conviction work for the last year of my education.

Stacy Leyko – Mother, Advocate, and Relentless Fighter for Justice Stacy Leyko is a devoted mother, grandmother, and advocate whose personal journey has brought national attention to some of the deepest failures within the American child welfare and family court systems. Her fight began when her two daughters, Abigail and Payton, were taken by Wexford County CPS while she was incarcerated. Despite completing her sentence, parole, and successfully regaining joint custody of her other children, Stacy’s parental rights to Abigail and Payton were permanently terminated under circumstances that continue to raise serious legal, ethical, and civil rights concerns. After their adoption, her daughters were relocated to Tennessee where, tragically, they suffered horrific abuse at the hands of their adoptive parents — an outcome that Stacy had tried desperately to prevent. Both adoptive parents have since been criminally charged. What started as a family’s private heartbreak has become a very public fight for accountability, oversight, and reform. Stacy’s case highlights the systemic failures that many parents face: lack of due process, discrimination against parents with prior legal or addiction histories, the weaponization of family court proceedings, and a CPS system that too often prioritizes adoption quotas over family preservation. Through it all, Stacy has never stopped fighting — not only for her daughters, but for every family facing injustice in a broken system. Today, Stacy works tirelessly to expose corruption, advocate for legislative reform, and build public awareness through media interviews, legal filings, and oversight committee testimony. She has filed civil rights complaints, worked with federal officials, and actively campaigns for what she calls Abby and Payton’s Law — a proposed policy to ensure no family has to experience what hers did. Despite the trauma, Stacy remains a living testimony of resilience, faith, and the unbreakable love of a mother for her children. In addition to her advocacy, Stacy has raised her other children into thriving, successful young adults, and currently helps care for her grandson and an adopted child in Michigan — continuing to demonstrate her capacity as a loving and committed parent every single day. Her story is one of heartbreak — but also one of hope, determination, and a mother’s refusal to be silenced.First interview link:https://rumble.com/v6uzkah-rescue-the-fosters-mom-calls-for-help-no-one-came-w-mother-and-advocate-sta.html
