Im tyrone dad9/22/2023 ![]() ![]() When she got out of the hospital she disappeared for a little while and they eventually found her and she decided immediately to terminate her rights. ![]() The workers tried to establish visits with her but she said she thought it was going to be to hard for Debin to see her so she never saw him again after the removal. She did not start visits or do anything. Michael: With Debin it was a lot easier, the whole process. His mother had had 6 other children removed, and she got ill right after his removal, she went to the hospital. So I said well let me hang up from you right now and let me call Ty. So we had to talk about it and basically as soon as I said that she was back he said we need to go get her and so we called her back and said we didn’t want her to start over with another foster parent we didn’t know how long it was going to be, what was going to happen or what had happened in the process but we would go ahead and take her. Well the week of the trip that we were leaving, on April 13th I got a phone call at work and my worker was like, ok Michael are you sitting down? Are you sitting down? I was like ok what is going on? And she said well Gabrielle is back in town and she needs a placement immediately and I was like “say what now!” She said that she was back in town but didn’t have any other information. We decided to open our home back up in April the next year 2009 and we had also planed vacations with a couple of friends to Savannah to hang out for a weekend or whatever. Michael: She left in November and then we closed our home for a while so we could grieve. They called me again and once we talked about it and discussed it they said that this was something that we would might be interested in because we were foster to adopt, the person had had some children removal before and they didn’t think that the children would have anybody to go with and so the placement would be something good for us to build our family. He really had never had a placement in his name because he was only going to be the household. They usually called me because I am the actual foster parent because in Kentucky, you know each of us because we are single people and gay marriage is not legal in Kentucky, we each had to have are own separate foster homes and approvals for each of us separately so after we had the placement for the sibling group they called me again because the other group was in my name as well, so they just called me again. And they were needing a home for her and so I said well I need to call Tyrone and we are going to talk about it and then we are going to call you on a three-way and will discuss this together. Michael: At the end of February 2008, we got, well I got the call at work that there was an infant at the hospital, 2 weeks old and that was ready to be discharged. And in his last part of the conversation he said: I don’t care what you got do but I want some grand babies so you need to take care of business. ![]() Michael: Let me start by saying I am adopted myself. And when we kind of first got together I always said that I wanted children, I wanted to adopt because I was adopted and I feel like adopted children are special because they are chosen and I wanted to pay it back, so I told him that I always wanted to adopt children just in passing if this where going to proceed in something more serious this would be a part of the conversation. When my parents came to visit, my dad basically we had our first conversation about coming out. You know, I was out here but my parents are from Oklahoma. So when they came to visit so I was like this is it, this is the conversation. And my dad just took me outside and he told me that he loved me and that He raised me to be a man and I had become to be the man he wanted me. He wanted us to be careful and he was proud, glad that I found somebody to be with and to love.
