I want to share that my son had the same problem with the same agency. We notified the states atty, the police and the FBI in az. The adoption agencies owner Mr. Jim Webb and I spoke and he denied the babies were there. This is a private agency with phone numbers in most states that lead to Oram. They have a dorm for unwed mothers on the premacies
Twin boys were involved. Protective services in Oram Utah picked them up from the agency. We had my daughter inlaw arrested on custodial interference. Mr. Webb tried to get my son to sign papers but my son told him to fly a kite. These people sell and buy babies. They find parents that wouldn't qualify or are to old. They also fly people where ever in private planes and they have attorneys .
We were lucky as the agency didn't fight for my grandsons as they were drug babies and delayed in their development. We were also lucky that my son was married to the mother of the babies or else we wouldn't have gotten them back. They would be in some foster home in utah
i wish you the best in your struggle. You are not alone. This agency had done this to many people.
Blessings, Gail

Hey, Cody, I just want to say I'm shocked and appalled at what happened to you and your daughter. I'm Mormon myself, and eternal togetherness for families is one of the major cornerstones of our faith. It sounds like your ex and her parents must've slept through that particular Sunday school lesson. Your kid is so lucky to have a dad who loves her and wants to be there for her. My own father walked out on my mom when she was eight months pregnant and hasn't been heard from since. It's sick and wrong that a man like you, who actually wants to step up and be responsible for his child, is being treated this way. Best of luck, man, I've got my name on your petition, and you and your little girl will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to read all these hard stories. I feel so bad for ALL the people involved. The thing I am most sad about is that the LDS church is being brought in and blamed a lot. I have read enough to know that there are indeed shady agencies. But blame is being focused on the people who have forked out tens of thousands of dollars to take care and love a baby that they cannot have themselves. Agencies just don't call teenage girls and force them to give up their babies unfortunately there are situations heard of where parents pressure their daughters into it and I personally believe that is ultimately a mistake especially if Dad wants the baby. But I just wanted to say how sad I am for your situation, I am personally looking to adopt right now and the road will be long for my family because I have 3 kids. My husband has none, but is an amazing stepdad. I pray for you that you can find piece in your lives, your baby may want to meet you and seek you out themselves one day that is what you should pray for and hopefully you can make that a positive experience for them and not bring more issues to their lives than needed. I ask you as potential adoptive parent to not put the blame on a couple that is raising your baby they are innocent by standers and truly have to protect what is now theirs they may seem like the enemy but try and imagine if you were in their shoes. I feel like in the Wyatt case especially that the biological mom and her parents hold responsibility sounds like Ashley and her parents also. But even then young teenagers can't imagine the consequence of one choice and how it will effect so many people’s lives like your own. Good Luck

We feel your pain…I would like to know the status of your case. My Son is in the same position as you are however my son met the 20 day timeline for filing in Utah and now Larry Jenkins is trying to say he wasn’t within Colorado law. Please e-mail me if you could so we can talk.

Hey bro I can completely understand what your going through. my story about the birth of my daughter was almost exactly the same as yours. I was told that she had an abortion and come to find out she had that child and she was put up for adoption. I dont know exactly what i can do because i recently turned 18 and Im about to persue legal action, but i need to find out where she is first. If you have any advice or wanna hear my entire story just hit up my email. good luck with your persuit. Hopefully one of us will win..

The baby should be given back to the real father as soon as possible.
The FBI should move in today.
They have gone against laws of the USA and Larry Jenkins should be behind bars also for his role in these kidnappings.
They are all deliberate planned and disgraceful.
Utah courts should be ashamed of themselves as well.
Mormons are fast being known for baby kidnapping and multiple wives.
That is all people know about the cult.

Not sure where you are getting your information sweetheart. However, nobody really cares what Ashley is doing. You said it yourself....SHE left the child in common alone....Doesn't mean that Cody did. Why are you now commenting on this story....Cody lost in the Supreme Court over a year ago. Her kidnappers won, so find a new website to pollute with your nonsense. Apparently, you are the one who needs to move on!

I completely agree that baby O'dea should have never been adopted without the father's consent, but she is now almost 5, not a baby. She has called someone else daddy for those almost 5 yrs. I agree what happened to you is VERY WRONG but is it right to put this little girl through so much pain that is inevatible if you do get custody? I mean you will take her away from the people she thinks is her mommy and daddy; whether they are not does not matter to her. Is having her so immportant that you don't care about her mental welfare? In the bible, the real mother was willing to give up her child bc she couldn't see that child suffer anymore. She is going to be torn between the couple who she knows as mommy and daddy and the man who says he is her real daddy. What i'm askin is having her physically in your possesion worth her feeling emotionally torn?

My son is going through the samething right now. His daughter was born Jan 15, 2010, she is almost 6 mths and we have never seen her . He did register on the father putative registry in the state of Fl six months before the birth of his daughter. Then he was told she would be going to Az to stay with family so he register on their putative father registry. Then he received a note saying she would be going to Utah and we began looking for a putative father registry for Utah and they do not have one you have to hire an attorney . So he did, he filed his paper work and the vital of statistics sat on it for six days. During those six days she gave birth and she signed her rights away. The day after she signed her rights away the vital of statistics filed his paper work. He went to court in May and the judge ruled against him and would not even look at the paper trail of corruption. All I can say Utah and Larry Jenkins are nothing but evil and corrupted, they do not care about the birth fathers right at all they even help steal them away from them. My son will be going to the supreme court of Utah in Nov so please pray for us. He will be getting national coverage of his story in the fall so maybe this will help.

Wow! I am tears. I never, in a million years, even knew that something like this could happen. What is wrong with people? And I don't even come close to understanding those who are sticking up for Ashley in this situation. How do you justify taking God's most precious gift from her father? Absolutely unbelievable!
The O'Dea family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Cody and his family fight for his daughter out of LOVE. Melinda passed away loving her grandchild who she never saw or met. This little girl was all Melinda talked about. Melinda was even denied a picture of her first born
grandchild on her death bed. May God have mercy on the adopted parents souls for
being so cruel. The child has been denied true LOVE by those who took this
child from the earthly Father God gave her to. I find it interesting that the Bible teaches us this about LOVE. Maybe someday this little girl of Cody's will know his LOVE and that of his families. I pray so. I know one thing
for sure. The adoptive parents, lawyers, judges, Ashley and her family, LDS Family Services and all those who kept this child from Cody and his family will get to stand before the Lord and explain why they denied Cody and his
families LOVE to this child. Why they took the child away God gave Cody. Always remember this Cody. Love rejoices with the truth!

1 Corinthians 13 NIV

Love

1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith
that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I
possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not
love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it
will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when
perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a
child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man,
I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a
mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know
fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.

Actually Dee we have proof that the Adoption Agency accessed the Putative Father's Registry the same day that Cody's Daughter was put up for adoption. As for the adoptive parents, they knew it was a high-risk adoption the whole time. Either way, if they hadn't known of Cody's intent to parent his daughter, once they did find out they should have gave the baby up and waited for a baby who wasn't wanted by either birth parent. Since losing in the Utah State Supreme Court, Cody has let the adoptive parents know that he would be willing to work something out so he could see his daughter. Unfortunately they are selfish people and won't even give him the option to know HIS daughter.

I have a few thoughts ...

yes, the case is tragic but I am not convinced by reading the story that either the UT agency or the adoptive parents knew about Cody until after the fact. By then they are already committed legally and emotionally.

Doesn't help Cody but the only known "bad guy" in this was the bio mother who lied. After being turned down by LDS in WY she probably learned what to say and not to say to the "new" agency.

Now the child is stuck in the middle. She is old enough now to be severally damaged if moved.

Can't they work out an open adoption agreement the way parents that split up do. After all if bio mom had kept baby, they would have had to share custody.

Not ideal but maybe in the best interest of the child who is most important

So....Ashley has another baby....out of wedlock....and I am guessing not with her current boyfriend considering the baby has HER last name. I wonder why she didn't give this one up for adoption too? Apparently she isn't such a saint, I bet her Mom is so proud!

Cody,

Keep your head up, you're not alone! I too am going through the same thing. I have a son whom I have not yet seen. He was born March 3rd, 2009 and my ex has denied me the right to see my son and I have been fighting ever since. She also had her boyfriend at the time of my son's birth put his name on the birth certificate, making it even harder for me. This guy that she is with has been married 3 previous times, he left his pregnant wife to run off with my ex and has abandoned 6 of his own children, and she has abandoned 2 of her own. And yet they are playing "house" with my innocent son.

It has taken me a year just to get the courts to get her to take the paternity test (which there was no questioning who the father was), she just knows how to manipulate the system to the mother's favor. Come to find out after she had left me, she has been diagnosed bi-polar and multiple personality disorder. And yet, it's been impossible to have someone stand up in my name and do what is right.

I know your hurt fully, there isn't a day that goes by I don't think about it and get upset with the legal system that puts women in favor. There are so many dead beat fathers out there that have ruined for the rest of us that fight everyday to protect our children. I would donate everything I had this day to help you in your cause, but as you can see, I'm fighting the same battle. I've already paid a lawyer to take charge of this, but it's been a waste of hard earned money. I'm currently seeking a new lawyer and have to somehow come up with the money to pay that one. It seems that honor and integrity don't live in the hearts of many anymore.

My friend, you have those attributes and I commend you for that. It's comforting to know that there is someone out there like myself who will stand up against evil and fight for what he knows to be true and truly shows unconditional love, not the facade that is portrayed daily by many others.

You and your child will be in my prayers. Stay strong, and know that you're not alone in this. I'm here, and I'll help anyway I can.

UPDATE:

Cody's Mom lost her battle to Melanoma Cancer in December 2009. On her deathbed, we wrote Ashley (Biological Mother) and the attorney representing the Adoption Center of Choice (he forwarded the letter to the Adoptive Parents) and begged for a picture of Cody's Daughter. That never happened. Melinda died without the chance to hold her Granddaughter or even seen a picture. She died without even knowing her name. Ashley didn't even have the decency to email us back. The Adoptive Parents replied to our email by saying they didn't trust us and that "THEIR" daughter was healthy and happy. Nice little jab they ended with....Our hearts are broken after losing Melinda but we will never give up on baby O'Dea. One day she will find us and one day she will know the truth. Her Daddy did EVERYTHING in his power to fight for her. Unfortunately the laws in Utah are too corrupt.

Dr. Phil will be airing a show on Friday, December 11th on Adoption Dilemmas. We were supposed to go on but they ran out of time Sad BUT, we did listen to the whole show on the phone and encourage EVERYONE to watch the show. There is going to be a similar story to Cody's. Larry S. Jenkins will also be on the show. (He is the lawyer we have been fighting against!) SO...PLEASE WATCH IT!!! We are still praying for a miracle!!! Thanks for all the support!!!

Ashley T.

From what you are saying it sounds to me like you would be opposed to a child being returned to her family after she is discovered to have been kidnapped.
I mean, from a small age she has known only her kidnappers right?...yet they ALWAYS get returned to their family because the dont belong with KIDNAPPERS! No one ever says, "hmmm, well ya know, she has been with those nasty kidnappers her whole life...so ya, lets just not return her to her family and go ahead and let the kidnappers raise her!"
She belongs with Cody!
Cody is her FATHER. I think it is absolutley absurd that people support the fact that he should remain out of her life.
If your baby was taken away from you...wouldnt you fight to get her back?

Cody & Tanya,
I'm so sorry to hear of all of this going on. This is the first I've heard of all this. It is appalling to me the rude, ugly things people can post. I was once in a newspaper article about Juvenile Justice and was appalled about the comments people would post, just as I am appalled at some of the posts written on your site. I am also a bit confused about the 20 day limit. Is that solely for Utah? Because here in Wyoming, I was told by Child Support, that even after 5 years of trying to establish paternity for Crisjian, that my son would not ever be able to be adopted by a potential father, without having established paternity. Good luck to you both and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help! You too are great parents, and I can say that knowing you, unlike some of the ugly postings on here!

Those who think that baby O'Dea wouldn't be cared for or properly loved are severly mistaken. When you read language like: "single parent, not enough love/money, no support system" it's poorly used to justify evil and crooked decisions. Baby O'Dea (that's all we know to call her) will struggle with her real AND fake family the rest of her life because of the motives behind her theft (adoption.) Ashley didn't take that into consideration, she knew Cody was opposed to adoption all along. If it were true that Cody didn't need his daughter or she him, would this story still be valid? Everyone's life has been effected in a negative way on both sides! She didn't see that. My heart breaks for any parent that is separated unwillingly from their child. On a brighter note, I hope someday I can take my neice to the park to play with her brothers or take her shopping with her new cousin Siena. Someday baby O'Dea, we will meet and when we do you better be prepared to be spoiled rotten just like your brothers! Love your Aunt Heather.
