THIS ISN'T A HOAX!!!! WHAT THIS IS, IS A TRUE STORY THAT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION!! Please Copy and Past all of this message!!

This is Dakota and Saphire Logan. These two girls need you help.
They are in state custody in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Dakota was 6 months old and Saphire was 2 days old when they were ripped away from their parents.
The parents, after fighting the state for 9 months, decided to ask for help. Grandma stepped in. Grandma was given both girls in September of 2005 withough child support from the state. She went through six background cehcks, fingerprtints, Physicals, home inspections, foster parenting classes, job refrences, the apartment had to have all furniture before the children could come to live with her.
Grandma has been back and forth to court for 2 1/2 years. The state has been playing lost of games, losing paperwork, waiting 6-8 months at a time to do a home inspection. They are just plain out not doing their job. The state keeps dragging their feet.
Grandma has been having a hard time since Christmas of 2007. She lost her job 2 weeks before christmas. But she always seemed to be able to take care of us two girls. Bills were paid and we had food to eat. Even had christmas presnets under the tree.
In March, Grandma got the adoption papers. We were finally going to be hers. We were finally going to have a permanet family that we could call our own. The adoption was set for May 2nd, 2008.
With this in mind, Grandma started looking for a place to live for us two girls. A place that we could call home. A place for us to grow up in. Martinsburg was just to big; she wanted us to be raised in a hometown kind of place. Somewhere with amazing schools. She made all the calls that she needed to make to see if we could move. She was told there wasn't a problem, we could go where ever we wanted as long as we stayed in West Virginia. The state only wanted to know where we would be going.
So with the ok, Grandma found a house in Bluefield West Virginia. She found a great big house that sits on the side of a mountain. We have our own room! Theres a big front porch so we have a place to ride our bikes, and we have a huge yard to run in.
We were having a lot of fun in our new house. We got to stay there for a whole 3 days. One day, this lady pulled up with the police and told our Aunt Kristle they were taking us away. They put on our shoes and our coats. Put us in a car and they drove away. We didn't even get to say good-bye.
The state claims I (as the grandmother) didn't call anyone to let them know where I was moving (phone call made and I spoke to caseworker Diane Snell) She was given the address. She claims she found us because I enrolled the children in school. They were enrolled in school on the 8th of April, and were taken on the 9th. She also decided to add the fact that I'm not working. I lost my job in December of 2007. (That wasn't a problem to them when I was living Martingburg) I haven't been in Bluefield long enough to find a job YET. But I still have plenty of money in savings to handle my bills, and care for these two children untill I find a job.
The whole reason for this story if because these girls, along with myself, need your help. I wanted the girls' story heard. These children were removed from their home for unfounded reasons. They have not been in anyway abused. They were happy go lucky. Dakota was finally feeling safe and started talking, which she didn't for almost 1 1/2 years. They have been in my home for 2 years now. The only abuse they have had to endure is being ripped from their home again.
Why? Because I found and bought a home for them some place other than martinsburg?
Our Government officials need to see first hand how thier government funded offices are handling their money. They need to know what their government funded offices are doing to our american families, and how they are tearing us apart for no aparent reason.

1. Kristle Logan- These two girls are my whole entire world. I live and breath for these babies. They have put hope and happiness back into my life. They give me something to live for. There is no sunlight in my life, without them by myside.

Dana Logan 3.
Saphire Gail Logan- Please help, I want to go home where I belong. I'm lost without my family. The only thing they have done since the begining of this whole thing was love my sister and I.
Please help bring us home!! 4.
Dakota Logan- I want to go home where I belong. These people may not be my biological family, but they have taken me in from day one and claimed me as one of their own. Every child out there that doesn't have a family wishes they could have that. Why would someone want to take that away from me? I'm not a bad kid. I haven't done anything wrong! Why are they punishing me and my sister? Why are they punishing any of us? We have done absolutely nothing wrong. The only thing that we have done was loved each other and been there for one another.
Please help me bring my family back together and repost this bulletin! 5.
