WILLIAM LYLE {HAYDEN] Stoldt adopted by Step and Mike Hayden
our song to you sweet william
I need my baby to know how deeply he was loved and, what lead up to me having to give him up. We were in a two year battle with the state for our other two boys who are 14 and 16 we didn't want to give them any reason to take this baby so we made plans for an open adoption. We met the couple they made phone calls to us every day checking on the baby telling us that we would forever get to know and see our baby when we wanted to do so.
our song to you sweet william
I need my baby to know how deeply he was loved and, what lead up to me having to give him up. We were in a two year battle with the state for our other two boys who are 14 and 16 we didn't want to give them any reason to take this baby so we made plans for an open adoption. We met the couple they made phone calls to us every day checking on the baby telling us that we would forever get to know and see our baby when we wanted to do so.
         We
 being a Christian family, we took them at their word. (ON THIS 
ASSUMPTION), invited these people into to our house. Soon thereafter the
 couple began helping us pick out clothes for you and even went to the 
doctor with us,(DUALLY NOTEING THAT THESE BEING MILITARY PEOPLE WOULD 
ABIDE BY THE AGREEMENT MADE IN THE LAWYER PAPERS THAT WAS DRAWN UP).  
      The day of your birth was coming fast and my labor was a month long event.  I
 had made the assumption that you had decided that you mentally did not 
want to leave me, but, wanted to stay with mommy. The doctor set me to 
go in labor on Jan 10th 2012.This pending time had me in constant tears.
 Crying, (I KEPT RUBBING MY STOMACH AND SAID SOFTLY PLEASE PLEAS 
UNDERSTAND I WANTED THE BEST FOR YOU).  All that 
time I forced myself to retain you in my body, because I knew the pain I
 was going to suffer from giving you up was probably going to be more 
then I could bear. The couple was there waiting and my anxiety grew even
 more when I saw them. My thoughts turned to flight because I knew I was
 going to have to give you up, but, “see William your brothers needed me 
also.
    We
 got to the hospital at 8am on Jan 10th and like clockwork the couple 
was suggesting” we need to do this “, In their rush to take custody of 
my child they did not give me any hope that their intentions were a just
 one” they kept voicing that I should just get it over now.  My
 mind was in turmoil all I wanted was to, hold and feel my baby in my 
arms. The doctor hooked me up and gave me a shot in my back, slowly sent
 me into labor. This couple never gave us space to be alone they were 
persistent in possessing my child (IF THIS IS THE WAY A MILITARY FAMILY 
BEHAVES THEN I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR MILITARY). 
     You
 were proceeding to the light of day and my tears flowed like a raging 
river. KNOWING I HAD TO GIVE YOU UP, I was so scared for you, yet I was 
so happy to see your angelic face emerge. My thoughts turn to when you 
use to dance and play in mommy's belly. You were so cute and, you looked
 right at (mommy) while they cleaned you off.
     You
 were such a cute baby, “everything I knew you would be” because GOD 
made you. The couple kind of took over after you were born from feeding 
you to clothing you and we hadn't even signed the papers yet. Mom was 
very sad about this and thought to myself that I was just being selfish 
or was I postponing this so I could think about my options. I relayed to
 the doctors I want to have time with my baby alone at night .The 
hospital saw the agony in my face and decided to put you in our room 
after the couple had held you all day. 
     When
 it was just me and you and daddy we tried to give you a lifetime of 
love in as less hours as we could. You looked at him your daddy and 
would laugh also when he was changing you squirted on him, it was so 
funny. He bundled you up nice and tight in your blanket and I held you 
close to my heart all night telling you how sorry I was and kissing you 
over and over asking you never to forget me. Your sweet angelic smile 
gave me a little solace but it was to be short lived.
      The
 couple took you from the hospital and that was the last time I would 
see you. The very minute they had you they didn't keep too the open 
adoption agreement that was clearly stated. The couple broke the 
agreement on the papers which was legal and binding, (IS THIS THE KIND 
OF PEOPLE WE WANT IN OUR MILITARY PEOPLE WHOM STOOP TO ALL LOWS TO GET 
WHAT THEY WANT WITH NO THOUGHT TO OTHERS FEELINGS) 
Your
 Mother went to court to try and fight but they wanted me to come up 
with 3,000 dollars, which is a lot of money to us in a troubled economy.
 I kept hoping god will help us get the money to make this right that 
this couple kept with the agreement to the open adoption.
     Today
 you are nine months and we haven't seen you once because the couple has
 blocked us on Facebook to even seeing you grow, (which makes this even 
more devastating to me) My anger, My pain is deepened for you I have 
dreams so real I wake in cold sweat tears staining my pillow and pain 
racking my soul over this one callous act of people whom I trusted. 
                   Every
 night I pray to god to make this right for me but every new dawn my 
moods grow more sober. I pray now for an appeal to the couple to please 
abide by the agreement and give me some sort of peace some glimmer of 
hope that you William are okay and doing well The worst part is it feels
 like you died and I was denied the satisfaction of letting you know how
 sad and devastating the moment was to my family because I died that day 
also.      Connie Stoldt   (DEDICATED TO MY SWEET SON WILLAM PLEASE DO NOT FORGET ME EVER)
