Adoption Battle

Opening your home to adopted children is an emotional undertaking. However, a family in Cleburne County says emotions are running higher than they should be.

Britton and Heather want to adopt 2 year-old Corey and 3 year-old Brandon. The boys have been living with them since May, but the adoption isn't finalized.

All Britton and Heather have is a copy of their "match agreement" from ABBA Adoption Agency.

They say the owner of that agency is legal guardian to Brandon and Corey.

Britton says: "We thought everything was fine and then out of the blue, pounding on the front door in the middle of the night and she's here with the police. Are you kidding me?”

Heather and Britton say the owner of ABBA Adoption Agency came to their house with a Cleburne County Sheriff's Deputy. "She said I have guardianship and I'm taking my children back.”

The sheriff decided not to remove Corey and Brandon that night without a court order, so even though the boys are under their roof, Britton and Heather say they're waiting for the worse.

No wonder fewer and fewer kids are adopted anymore. These nightmares just keep growing.

The children suffer and they are our future. What are they doing to these innocent victims?
