Trent Reicks did everything the law required of him to assert his rights over his daughter. He wasn't supposed to know about the mother's plan to give their baby up behind his back, but when he was informed of the mother's plan, he wanted to make sure the law was on his side.
What Trent didn't know was that the couple seeking to claim his daughter as their own were lawyers. Paul Morris worked out of a local firm Wright, Lindsey and Jennings LLP and the wife, Stephanie McLemore (Morris) was the deputy prosecuting attorney. Already, one can tell that this was not going to be an easy fight for Trent.
Trent met with the couple in the hopes that they would realize that his daughter had a family that wanted her and would turn her over. They had no intention of giving Trent his baby. As a matter of fact, they informed him if he attempted to fight, they'd make sure he never received a scrap of info on the infant.
Trent took a chance and started legal proceedings to protect his right to parent his daughter. The judge, Xollie Duncan, granted the Morris' petition to TPR Trent on the grounds of unreasonably with-holding consent. I shit you not. They terminated his rights on what amounts to a bullshit reason. As far as I know, such grounds do not even exist, but this disgusting bitch judge did just that. It should also be noted that Duncan is actually Paul and Stephanie's friend. Is this not a massive conflict of interest? How can the judge overseeing an adoption case keep bias out of their decision when the couple seeking to kidnap (i mean, "adopt") are her own best buds?
Then, to add insult to injury, this skanky judge put a gag on the case to ensure Trent couldn't speak out against the corruption or go to the media regarding the kidnapping of his daughter.
As far as I know, Duncan finalized the adoption and the two kidnapping lawyers were good to their word about keeping Trent out of the loop regarding his daughter. They want him to vanish. No doubt Trent is working on an appeal. I don't know for sure since the kidnappers and their judge friend slapped a gag order down, but here's to hope. He did everything by the book and has a solid case. The connections and conflict of interest in the adoption case is enough for him to fight and take it to higher courts.
The world needs to know that Benton County Arkansas is run by kidnappers and friends of kidnappers. Paul Morris, Stephanie McLemore and Xollie Duncan conspired and kidnapped a baby at birth and then TPR'd the father on non existent grounds.
Let the world see them all. Kidnappers. Thieves. Monsters. Your lie will not live forever.
The lawyers, Paul and Stephanie:
And here is their judge friend, Xollie Dunan:
