Jackson:
Our family can not stop thinking about you. We wonder about you every day and hope and pray you are being well taken care of. Every where we go there is something that reminds us of you. There are street signs with Jackson, trucks with the name Jackson on it, new little babies named Jack, little boys that are within 4 months like you and Boston everywhere. Everywhere we turn we think of you.
Jackson, you will know one day how much we love you and think about you. Jack, we wonder every day what you look like. Do you have baby blues like your daddy,? Are you a little Blondie or do you have dark brown hair? Are you a shy little boy or outgoing like your cousin? Do you like to play cars and trucks, and play outside? Hopefully, one day soon we will get answers to our questions.
August 1st is right around the corner and we can not be happier to finally be back in front of a judge to share with him OUR side of the story, and not be voiceless.
Jackson, there is so much positive change that has been happening with birth father rights everywhere. We can only hope this can help with bringing you home.
We love you Jack! See you soon.
XoXo,
Your family

Upcoming Fundraisers
We will also be hosting a 5k in the next few months as well as a Harley Motorcylce Ride. The Harley ride most likely will take place on September 8th, beginning at the Lindon Harley Davidson and ending up in Ogden, at The Rainbow Saloon. More information to come on these.
Please come out and help support us with raising legal fees to get our baby back!!!! Thank you in advance for your help!
*****Update: We are currently in the process of waiting for a court date to intervene in the adoption in 2nd District Court. We are hoping that we can report on that in the next week or so. We are excited with some of the motions filed in this case that will give us some strong ammo.
We love you Jackson and we never stop thinking about you!

Letter one: To the adoptive couple
November 15th, 2011
Dear J and J, (full names have been removed at the request of Jake)
Dear J and J, (full names have been removed at the request of Jake)
I would like to start by saying that a copy of this letter and the certified mailing receipt has been retained in the binders that we have to share with Jackson Jackson
I have included some photos of our time with Whitney during her pregnancy with Jackson which show that she and Jake were together up through the night before Jackson Jackson Jackson after she gave birth on January 12, 2011 via C-section. I planned to take 3 weeks off work and had received approval to do so. These are only some of the supporting documents which we have and are willing and wanting to share with you.
That day in April 2010 when Jake came home and told me that Whitney was expecting will forever be burned into my memory. Jake was a little nervous and wasn’t sure how the news would go over, he and Whitney had only been dating for four months. I told him that news of a baby was always wonderful and thrilling, but I was the grandma not the parent and the parents role is the one of responsibility and to always put the best interest of the child first, he should be nervous. Jake’s response was that he would always put his child first and was very excited for the baby and family life, in fact he had already made plans to take another job to ensure that he would be able to make enough money to pay off some bills and have money to prepare for his new family.
As we shared the news with the rest of the family the reaction was the same, excitement for this new child and member of our family. The relationship of Whitney and Jake was up to them and we would handle whatever they decided to do as a couple, that did not affect our feelings of this wonderful blessing of adding Jackson
Although I was very aware of some of the feelings which Whitney was going through, I had been pregnant at 19 and not married. It was a lot to take on, with Whitney’s additional two children, Austin who was killed at 13 months and Emery not even a year. On top of that from what Whitney told us she had a very abusive upbringing and marriage, which had just recently ended in a bad divorce. I wanted to make sure that Whitney felt welcomed into our home and family no matter what Jake and she decided to do as far as marriage. She was the mother of my grandchild and therefore I would do what I could to create a relationship with her to ensure she felt loved as well. During the 3 ½ months that Jake was in Texas working for Apex Alarm as well as after he returned, we spent lots of time with Whitney, including Jackson’s cousins baby shower, the 24th of July, Christmas parties, Jackson’s baby shower and various other family dinners and parties.
I also called and spoke with Whitney many nights on my way home from work and when I was out of town I called just to check on her and make sure she did not need anything. Jake and Whitney spoke daily as well, Whitney even told us that sometimes she runs out of things to say to him, which surprised us because Jake is not the phone type, we have to call him most of the time and then the conversations were not very long. So we knew that Jake was making sure that Whitney knew that he cared and was interested in her, Jackson and Emery. At one point Whitney was looking for apartments for her and Jake to live in when he returned from Texas
I have the entire timeline documented through pictures, affidavits, letters, receipts, money orders, emails and texts which we are willing to share with you. Through this letter I am asking that you try to understand the pain that we have been going through since we found out that Jackson Jackson
Please understand I am not blaming you for these actions taken by Whitney with the assistance of the social workers at LDS Family Services. I know that you did not request a child at any cost to complete your family, nor did you or would you have agreed to accept a child through fraud. But, that is what has happened. Because Whitney lied and deceived Jake about her intentions you were able to take Jackson Jackson
As a mother, I want to share with you the fact that Jake is a wonderful man. He has always been a good, kind, hard working person. Growing up and now Jake always has had a lot of friends, he is the one the younger kids always want to be around, he babysat for numerous family members and friends because the children requested him to do so. Jake befriended a young neighbor child who is physically handicapped, this child’s mother still talks about how much Jake’s kindness has meant to her son and their family over the past years. In high school Jake took extra classes in health occupation which meant when he graduated he was also a full EMT. He participated in HOSA, which is a club for health occupations and was able to compete in a National competition in Nashville Utah
You will not find one person who will say anything but good things of Jake, I am so very proud that he is my son and Jackson
The pain which I have watched Jake endure these last 10 and ½ months has been unbearable, he is stuck in limbo he cannot move forward with school or a social life because his has had to fight for his son. The thought of life without his only child is heartbreaking for him, as I am sure you know all too well. I am not sure if you have thought of this but Jake lost not only his son on January 5th (this is the night that he found out Jackson Jackson
As Jackson Jackson Boston , who is Jackson ’s cousin and Emery, Jackson’s sister, will also be told of Jackson when they are old enough to understand. They are Jackson’s family and also have the right to know the truth.
Again I am not trying to be hurtful but want to share the truth. Heavenly Father is a God of love and honesty; he does not work through lies, fraud and deception. I do not understand why this has happened to Jackson, Jake, you and our families but I believe that the truth will prevail. I also know that if you give Jackson directly back to LDS Family Services they very well could give him away again, so we need to work together. I also understand that your attorney is not going to like that I have contacted you and am requesting you to contact us. But, I also do not believe that he will be around when Jackson starts asking you questions about his birth father and why he was given up for adoption. Most likely your attorney will not pay for counseling when Jackson is older and finds out the truth, if he is not told before 18 or when he is told after 18.
It will be difficult to teach Jackson to be honest in his dealing, trust worthy and not to lie when opposite of each of those actions is how and why you were able to adopt him and create your family.
I have included a copy of a letter I have written to share with Jackson when he is older, it is his right to understand and know the truth. He was never given up; he was and is loved and wanted by his father and family.
Whether or not you contact us, or if the court determines whether Jackson is rightfully being returned home or not, there will come a day when he will be able to know the truth. With technology and advancements in the world today Jackson may very easily contact Jake or another member of his family first, please understand he has the right to know everything.
Again, my intent is not to be mean or spiteful I need to express my feelings and desire to make things right not only for Jake and Jackson, but for you as well.
You have a child out there somewhere who is waiting for you that has been or will be placed for adoption by consent from both parents. With that child you will be able to go to the temple and be sealed, will be able to create a family on a foundation of love, honesty and truth. A family foundation which will stand the test of time and eternity. But, right now you are in the middle of this contested adoption battle and have not been able to continue to be available for that child. You are only holding on to the hope that things will work out for you with Jackson who you already have. There is a reason you have not been able to complete your family, Jackson is not your son he needs to come home.
If Jackson is left with you, your family will be built on a foundation of lies, deceit and fraud a foundation which will crack and crumble in time. It is not right to do this to you, you should not be the ones to have to explain to Jackson, Whitney’s and LDS Family Services’ actions. They are the ones who need to justify why they did what they did. You should not be the ones to feel hurt, betrayed or pained when asked by Jackson questions of his birth Father, Jake, and his family and have to justify that fraud was ok for Jackson’s case.
You may think you can justify that you can provide a better family environment, or that you love Jackson more. Before you do give Jackson these types of responses please speak with adult adoptees regarding their feelings regarding their birth parents.
Most will tell you that they had questions of why their birth parents did not want them, and gave them up, most have wondered how different their lives would have been if they had been left with their birth parents. Good or bad. If they have other siblings, extended family, do they look like them, do they have the same traits, talents or interest. These are normal questions.
Then ask those adult adoptees how they would feel if they found out that their birth father never wanted to give them up, he is and was an upstanding citizen, he had been able and willing to provide for them, had loved and prepared for them. Then ask how they would feel if they knew that they were placed under fraudulent circumstances and their adoptive parents had known that their father wanted, loved and was fighting for them from the moment that he knew they were placed. Their birth mother lied and deceived him throughout her pregnancy and for 7 days after they were born, continuing to tell him she was still pregnant. But, their adoptive parents got to keep them anyway because fraud is allowed in the “law”.
Just because the law states that fraud, lying and deception can be used to place a child in Utah does not make it right. Slavery was once protected by the law, though it was not morally right.
Adoption attorney Wes Hutchins said Utah law supports deception. "She can lie. She can misrepresent. She can commit fraud. That's expressly what the state permits the woman to do". He is also President of the Utah Adoption Council
Utah’s Supreme Court Justice Christine Durham wrote, "Utah risks becoming a magnet for those seeking to unfairly cut off opportunities for biological fathers to assert their rights to a connection with their children." The statement was part of a dissenting opinion in the O'Dea v. Olea case.
Do you really want to start your family based on fraud though allowed by law? Do you really want to explain to Jackson that because of fraud, lies and deception you were able to adopt him away from his loving father and family?
I know your family J, they are kind people who taught you good and moral values. Truth and honesty are two of those values that I know you learned by the way that your father speaks of you, he is very proud. I am sure that these same values are the ones that you strive to instill in your life and family, but starting with a child given to you through lies and deceit will not allow you to do this.
Please make this right, contact us so that we can discuss this and return Jackson to his father so that you can move forward and be able to work through a consensual adoption to receive the child(ren) that you so desire.
Below is the state law which Dave Hardy used as his defense on September 27, 2011.
Utah State Law 78B-6-106 Responsibility of each party for own actions-fraud or misrepresentations. “Any person injured by fraudulent representations or actions in connection with an adoption is entitled to pursue civil or criminal penalties in accordance with existing law. A fraudulent representation is not a defense to strict compliance with the requirements of this chapter, and is not a basis for dismissal of a petition for adoption, vacation of an adoption decree, or an automatic grant of custody to the offended party. Custody determinations shall be based on the best interest of the child, in accordance with the provisions of section 78B-6-133.”
Jake complied with every aspect but filing for paternity, he provided for Whitney and Jackson, financially, emotionally and physically. He prepared and planned for Jackson. Though when Jake told Whitney the requirement to file she told him that if he did that meant that he did not trust her and the funds that Jake would use to file and retain an attorney would be better used for Jackson and for their family. Whitney threatened several times if Jake did not do things she wanted he would not see his son, we can show you the text messages that support this. LDS Family attorney David Hardy has seen them and they have been submitted to the courts as well. There are over 880 texts just from November through January 5th, you will want to read them all, because Jackson will.
Respectfully,
Jennifer Hanson Graham

Major Update:Devastating News
Many things and turn of events have occurred over the past few months in the on-going battle to fight for Jackson. I am going to try my best to bring you up to speed. Unfortunately, we have experienced many delays, set backs, heartbreaks, and loss of faith in the judicial system throughout this process.
If you remember from previous posts, clear back on May 9th, 2011, Judge Christiansen, heard our case, and was in awe with the series of events that had occurred. He recognized that Jake had not filed timely, but could see that this was due to the fact that Whitney Pettersson had blatantly lied, committed fraud, and deceived him so that he could not file the proper paperwork to protect his rights as a father. He ordered DNA testing to be completed, and really felt strongly about enjoining both cases (our case and the potential adoption case), because he knew that the outcome was going to affect both parties. After major delays on opposing counsel and the adoptive couples part to take Jackson a.k.a Benjamin in for genetic testing, the results had come in. Jackson was 100% Jake's son. Our next court hearing was scheduled for August 16th to discuss these findings.
On August 15th, 2011, we received a very surprising and frustrating call from our attorney's office that the judge had a family emergency and court was canceled the following day. We didn't feel like everything was adding up and so we proceeded to go ahead and show up to court anyways. We discovered that the judge DID NOT have a family emergency and was actually in court ready to hear our case. To our dismay though, our attorney as well as opposing counsel did not show up. This caused some great concern for the judge and demanded a telephone conference to be held that day with him, our attorney and opposing counsel from LDS Family Services. In that telephone conference, the real truth came out, that Dave Hardy(opposing counsel) is the one who took it upon himself to actually decide to cancel the hearing because he said he did not have proper notice of the hearing. When in fact, he had confirmed with Jake and Jenny in their depositions, only 2 weeks prior of the court date. This again, was one of their delay tactics, to prolong anything from moving forward with this case, and Jackson getting older and older.
In the telephone conference, the judge was notified of the DNA tests proving Jake to be the father. He then again enjoined the two cases, because opposing counsel had refused to provide our attorney with any information regarding the adoption, such as the case #, what district that case was being heard and who was representing the prospective adoption couple. The judge demanded answers to be told about this crucial information so that things could move forward. It was soon discovered that their attorney was Larry Jenkins and they had a pending case up in 2nd District in Ogden, Utah in front Judge Kay. Judge Christiansen also ordered that this case be resolved with in one district, and the way that would be determined was by who filed their paperwork first, Jake or the prospective adoptive couple.
Well, after a few weeks after this conference call, we found out we had some good news coming our way. We filed FIRST. Jake filed on January 6th, 2011, the very next day he found out about the adoption occurring, and the prospective adoptive couple filed on January 28th, 2011, giving us jurisdiction in having both enjoining cases be heard in front of Judge Christiansen. This was a very big plus for us because he already ruled in our favor once with ordering the DNA test as well as he saw the dishonest behavior of LDS Family Services Legal counsel blatantly NOT show up on purpose. Judge Christiansen ordered an evidentiary hearing to be heard in front of him to have all of the convicting evidence be shared. Judge Christansen knew he had a hard decision coming before him because he knew FRAUD was wrote into the law, and said "If I sanction fraud in my court, I will be denying a biological father thee right to his son, but if I don't I rule against this prospective adoptive couple who has grown to love and bond with this child."
Since mid-August we had not had much activity gone on since that real break through. There had been a conference call with Dave Hardy, Larry Jenkins and our attorney discussing how they would move forward and that was it. Our attorney had been working to get a new court date with Judge Christiansen and was not having much luck with opposing counsel cooperating, again another DELAY tactic.
We had unresolved business from a motion we filed originally back in January and were ordered to go back in front of the commissioner, in September, who originally heard our case and really didn't make any progress, due to her ordering us to go back to Judge Christiansen.
We had become very ancy, that no progress was being made. Calls and emails daily were being made to our attorney to see if any new updates had been made. NOTHING.
Finally, Jenny truly wanted to reach out to the adoptive couple, LDS Family Services, Dave Hardy, and families and truly just let them know what they are doing to Jackson. They aren't doing this in the best interest of the child, they are doing this in the best interest of their pocketbook. Since she is not part of this pending case, she reached out to them all via written letters. They were sent out on November 15th, 2011 and all were confirmed received within 2-3 days. Jake, nor his attorney had any knowledge of this to protect anything with the current case.
Little did we know, Larry Jenkins and the prospective adoptive couple had been collaborating and in the works with Dave Hardy on how they could try to get this thing maneuvered and finalized.
On Thanksgiving day, we received the most devastating and heartbreaking news yet throughout this whole ordeal. Jenny's father, who through the grapevine, has some connections with the prospective adoptive couple, heard that the adoption had been FINALIZED. What? How is this possible you ask? We were wondering the same thing. We could not believe this news could be true. There was NO possible way that this could happen right? We had been enjoined with the adoption case 2 different times. Since it was a holiday, we had to wait 4 grueling days until Monday, when our attorneys office was open for business. We called and had to DELIVER the devastating news to OUR own attorney. He was astonished just as we were. He immediately began calling to Larry Jenkins, Dave Hardy, and LDS Family Services, and AGAIN received NO information. Our attorney, wrote a letter to Larry Jenkins, to our dismay replied with a response we could not believe.
He informed us, that he checked with the court in 2nd District, and since Jake was not part of this adoption did not need proper notification of this adoption proceeding to move forward and that his client's were able to FINALIZE the adoption. WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? He DISOBEYED, Judge Christiansen's orders TWICE to enjoin the adoption case and our case. Judge Christiansen enjoined the cases for this EXACT reason, because he did not want someone to be able to make a final decision without both parties being heard. Judge Christiansen even filed a motion to stay on the case back in October, to make sure that their were no movements in this case until they came back in front of him. He also informed us that his clients felt threatened and would take protective action from the court if the harassment didn't stop. Which is ridiculous they would even say such a thing. There was nothing threatening wrote in the letters, it was the absolute truth, and Jenny's opinion, which she clearly states over and over she is not threatening anyone.
We will be posting the letters that were written by Grandma Graham over the next few days.
We are still 100% fighting this, and are in the process to intervene with the adoption. We are currently still awaiting to get a court date to go back before Judge Christansen, to share with him the news, that opposing counsel does not care what he rules or his orders, because he is going to go behind his back, LIE, and FRAUDULENTLY, get this adoption to go through.
Larry Jenkins was able to use FRAUD to allow his client to make a STOLEN baby theirs. They have a child who they want to bless, and get sealed in the LDS temple, and they are doing this KNOWING that they were dishonest, to get this to ultimately go through. We really aren't quite sure what they are thinking. Do they really not realize that Jackson will be 18 and we will tell him EVERYTHING? He will know the absolute truth and know that his so called parents took him against his will? They will have their world crashing down sooner than later. Time is flying by fast. Jackson is almost 1 years old. We only have to wait 17 more years to see our sweet boy.
If you feel as outraged about this as we do and did, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, voice your opinions to the adoptive couple, Larry Jenkins, LDS Family Services, Utah General Attorney Mark Shurtleff, and all of the Legislators in UTAH. This truly has to end. We can not have corrupt people creating the laws that deal with children, representing the laws that deal with children, and breaking the laws that deal with children.
Tune in tomorrow for Day 1 of the letter sequence. Also, a 4 page spread will be running in the Salt Lake Tribune, about the Utah adoption practices, ethics, and our story, beginning on Christmas Day.
Jackson, we have a had a few rough weeks with the holidays around and your birthday coming around the corner. Don't worry we have not forgotten about you and have not given up. We love you so much and will continue to fight until you are home with us and justice is serviced.
-Love,
Aunt Heidi
