Remember Who They Are

Aubrey Lowery was 8 months old when a court ordered South Carolina couple Mark and Mary Boepple to turn her over to her parents who lived in Illinois.  The Boepples challenged the ruling and the South Carolina supreme court ruled that the child be returned to them.  The parents fought, citing lack of jurisdiction, but South Carolina ram rodded the adoption through and demanded her immediate return to the kidnappers.  The Boepples went to Illinois and stalked the parents in an effort to snatch Aubrey back.  When an Illinois court ruled they did not have jurisdiction to intervene, the parents were forced to hand Aubrey over to her kidnappers when she was 2 yrs old and she has since been slapped with the fake name of Porter Boepple. 

James Elliott Rossler was born May 2015 in Alabama.  His mother, Kim Rossler, had started an adoption plan during her pregnancy but as the due date came closer, became less and less certain of her plan to relinquish.  She told those involved that she no longer wished to proceed with the adoption.  What she didn't know was that the forms she signed before baby Rossler's birth were legally binding and three weeks after his birth, Kate Sharp lied to get a court order demanding his immediate transfer to her custody.  Kim is still currently fighting to get her son back.  

Veronica Brown was born Sept 2009 to Christinna Maldonado and Dusten Brown, both of Oklahoma.  Maldonado had started an adoption plan while pregnant, unbeknownst to Brown.  Shortly after Veronica's birth she'd been whisked away to South Carolina with Matthew Capobianco and Melanie Duncan Capobianco.  Brown contested the proposed adoption and in 2011 was awarded custody by the South Carolina courts.  The Capobiancos fought back and in 2013 the United States Supreme Court ruled in their favor.  South Carolina ram-rodded the adoption through a short time after and demanded her turnover to the Capobiancos.  Brown continued to fight, but ultimately the courts in Oklahoma sided with the illegal South Carolina adoption order.  A week after her 4th birthday, an unwilling Veronica was handed over to her kidnappers. 

Maddy Spurlock was removed from Mary Spurlock's care shortly after birth due to drug use.  The county handling her dependency case placed her with foster parents Brian and Kelly Anderson to aid in possible reunification efforts with Spurlock.  The Andersons interfered with reunification efforts and eventually they fell through.  When the Andersons realized that Maddy would be going to next of kin in another state (Spurlock's sister, who just happened to also have custody of one of Spurlock's other children), they started manipulating her mother to get get her on their side and agree to an adoption.  They soon got her on their side and when Maddy was removed to be placed with the sister out of state, the Andersons and Spurlock went to a neighboring county to get an adoption order (they claimed private adoption placement and even claimed they still had custody even tho they did not).  The county of jurisdiction, Allen County, fought back and got the adoption order reversed.  However the Andersons and Spurlock worked to get the high courts to reverse their original ruling and in Dec 2016, after being with her aunt and brother for six, seven months, Maddy was returned to the kidnappers and got a quickie adoption.  Maddy's case is still being fought.


These are just a handful of cases.  There are so many more out there.
