Annabelle G. Cortez

She allowed an illegal adoption to carry on. She states that she does whatever she wants to, in her court room.

In need of an official review of the records and information regarding a judgement by Hon Annabelle Cortez- she allowed FOSTER PARENTS TO SECURE PLACEMENT OF MY DAUGHTER, While an ASFA APPROVED BLOOD RELATIVE WAS WILLING TO PROVIDE PERMANENT PLACEMENT. This judge allowed FOSTER PARENTS TO ADOPT MY DAUGHTER! I have not seen my daughter in seven years !!! This case was corrupted from the beginning-and was never reviewed correctly. My daughter should never have been adopted by foster parents. . there were multiple violations that occurred with no penalties to address the foster placement. Please review for the legality of the placement, asfa approved of relatives who desired to adopt the grandchild- and were bonded with the child.  Foster provider took the child out of state, and returned as the foster childs’ “guardian” Additionally, these foster parents were naming the child whatever they wanted to,  not the assigned name at birth- These foster parents broke confidentiality and breached licensing agreements and laws- those witch place a child at risk and expose  public information on social media, as well as photos of a child that was not legally theirs, and child was without clothing- posted pictures of the child on Facebook- info confirmed by the departments’ social worker and coworkers -documented in the case reports, failed to mention to the department that her previously adopted children are bi, racial, and a permanency placement of the foster child it’s not the most natural setting. These other children in the home that were previously adopted reportedly were hitting the foster child, and those documented via video, additionally, the child sign language, and verbally stating so happening. These foster parents were promised they would be able to adopt her on the second day that they had the foster child in their home. I would feel comforted if there was a very thorough review of all the case documents, reports and interactions made or efforts made to place
