Story
Prior to his birth, Dominic parents visited Canada in the hopes of taking residence. His Mother, a Canadian, His Father British. During this time they parted ways with His Father and 3 year old Sister, Lorelai, returning to the UK.
Dominic was born in Canada on the 4th of August 2016. Within a few months Dominic was taken into the Canadian care system with a Care order given to the Canadian Children's Care services. This was due to his mothers neglect and the high risk of domestic abuse from her current partner. After nearly 6 months she has still yet to prove to the system she is a fit and proper parent to Dominic who is now at even greater risk of remaining the in Care or worse returning to a potentially hostile and unsafe environment,
His father, after a lengthy and costly success full court battle in the UK to keep Lorelai home and safe, has now exhausted every avenue to bring Dominic home to his Father and Sister in Britain. Dominic's mother refused to place his father on the birth certificate, making it even more difficult. He now seeks the public's help to acquire the extra funds necessary to acquire Legal Guardianship of Dominic. This has to be done in Canada, requiring Legal representation from within their legal system.
So please, donate and help make him safe, Bring Dominic Home to his Sister and Father in the UK!

7 years agoHad a family support meeting today with the social workers and my ex's support network. Luckily I had some of my own ring in. She has been told that she isn't going to be getting him back on June 12th. So I have to double my efforts to reach this target, as the quicker I can reach my goal the quicker I can hopefully get this sorted.

Dominic was born August 4th 2016. He has been in the Care system for nearly 7 months now. After a lengthy court battle for my daughter (which i am still paying off) i am in need of your support to help me get my son out of the care system. I am only asking for the bare minimum
