Hi all,


I have come on here as a postive story.



But a long and hard one.

My partner was convicted in 2016 and again in 2019 (online offences) after not getting the right help after his first conviction



He worked hard on getting better and did everything he could.

In 2022 we fell pregnant with a gorgeous baby girl. Throughout my pregnancy we were treated appalling. Social workers accused him of going to r**** my baby and that I was risking this by staying with him no risk assessment had been done at this point.



I had a forsenic psychological risk assesment done at 7 and half months pregnant.

They removed my beautiful baby girl at 24 hrs old despite my partner being no risk at her current age. Because I had a traumatic childhood and was seen as unable to protect my little girl.

We split up but ended up getting back together. He moved out before she was born.

We did also have past dv (nearly 2 years since the last incident by the time she was born)

Anyway we fought for the past 18 months. 4 social workers.

We both did therapies, courses etc.

In February we thought she was gone for adoption we thought they would win. However due to the report done when I was pregnant being out of date we were allowed another risk assessment

2 weeks ago we found out our little girl is coming home!!!!

I am now seen as protective and able to put my daughter first.

She will be home fully in my care by the 21st July!

My partner will be allowed to move back in over a year ( my own safety plan).



It's been a long 18 months and I missed out on a lot.

But I will have her back and our future as a family is brighter :)

I hope I can give some hope to some of you
