On Saturday, 8/30/08, Marcella and I went to have a visit with Senator Mike Carrell. In the casual environment of his living room we discussed items regarding CPS's case with Spencer and Taunya. I gave him the background of CPS's involvement with the family, and where we thought processes, policies, and laws could be improved or implemented to further safeguard the children and those adults caring for them. He appeared very interested in our cause and seems to be the go to guy in Olympia for matters such as these. His relationship with Marcella was apparent and established. I couldn't have asked for a better meeting with a Senator other than him having his full term to start this process. That in fact is the only glitch, the elections are in November and the outcome will determine if we need to approach another public official for support. Senator Carrell has requested I give him written permission to review Spencer's files and I am giving that to him. He additionally mentioned that if re-elected he would like to schedule a meeting with Marcella, Brandon, April, and myself in Olympia to discuss what we want to see happen within these agencies, DSHS and CPS.
