Jacob Bryan Fromknecht

Jacob Bryan Fromknecht is my cousins son, and he is also my Godson. He is the light of my life. He is absolutely the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen. To anyone who knows me this is a huge admission. I prefer girls, not to say that I don't like boys... I just prefer girls. He was born on Oct. 12, 2007. When he was a week old he came to our house. We of course had a party for him. We had a ton of things for him. When he was a month old, I wanted to have him for a few hours and my cousin's (Jerry) girlfriend, Angela thought she was being funny and said "oh you want him to spend the night?". She didn't realize that I would take her seriously. That was his first night away from them. He was so good. From that moment on he was at our house regularly. I am not sure who enjoyed this time more, me or him. In that first year of his life we spent allot of time together. He was at my house more then his.

I know his parents were having issues.. financial, relationship, parental, emotional...so it was (I think) easier for everyone involved for Jakie to be with me. I am so glad I was able to have him.

He seemed to come at the perfect time in our lives. My father had recently passed and neither mom nor I were feeling well, yet he came in with his smile and brightened our hearts. He kept us going. It was wonderful. I was able to see him crawl and take his first steps. I was there for his first words. I gave him his first haircut. He was always good for his hair cuts too. He loved our animals. Wherever we went we always got compliments on what a beautiful baby he was. He was! ;) He was with us for a few months. He was to stay with us until his parents could get on their feet..

One day out of the blue his parents showed up and said they wanted him. They said they had a place to stay now and Jerry had a job. They took him and none of his things. We were in disbelief and shock. We had no time to gather his clothes, toys and necessities. We tried calling them to arrange when we could get together so we could make sure Jakie had all of his things. Well some of them because we always kept things at our house for him for when we had him here. Everyone said our house looked like a pre-school when he was here. Well, they don't answer their phone and they don't return calls. We don't know where they are now. All I have is a cell phone number for them. Where are they?

Where is my sweet Jacob Bryan?? They took him on Nov 5th 2008. I will never forget that day. It was one of the saddest days of my life. I want to find him so bad. I worry, does he have clothes? does have warm clothes? food? is he being played with? educated? I worry because I know he didn't have these things before at his home.

Those were the happiest days of my life...and now they are gone...
I ask for prayers from everyone to watch over Jacob and protect him. I ask for prayers that I will see him someday soon...
