UPDATE- I finally got a court date, WHOOO-HOO.......Supreme Court here I come in May, Legal Aid and the lawyers I have spoken to can see that I have a chance. I am not giving up, I have come way to far to quit, and thankfully I have found a lawyer who sees that, and is on my side. I am heading on a long road trip to the coast with my son for court in Victoria....I am HOPEFUL, and I know that I have a chance, so this is one of the most important things I will do. I just pray that the courts will also realize that I deserve a new trial to fight for my little girl. Of course while I am there, I am hoping that I might have access....a hug would mean the world, to tell her that mommy is still trying.
So thank you to the people who have chosen to read my story, my life, and to be supportive, this means the world to me, its hard to find anyone to understand what I am going thru, and yet to be understanding and respectful....I am grateful for the people I have found that are routing for me. I wish all of you that are as well going through similar things that you will never quit fighting for your children, they are our life, irreplaceable. Weather we have missed out on time that we can no longer get back, rather then dwelling on that fact (something I have done alot) it only brings pain each day, take care of yourself, continue counselling, or therapy, groups, whatever makes you feel good about you. Focus on the day as it comes, and reflect on the past so that the same choices dont get repeated! 
I am scared, worried, and yet inside myself, I have told myself not to get all anxious, like what if's.....just say that this first baby step I won, and that this IS a chance for me to get heard again....I will update as I can, but for now I really want to thank the people who have helped me, and cared, and shared of course.....I am in this for myself, as well as supporting others if they need it, and I am NOT QUITTING, EVER! ! This is why I carry my blue butterfly wherever I go---to make a wish, to carry my one wish! 
This is great news! I am confident that there is no judge in the world that could say you don't love your daughter, it's obvious to everyone here that you should be reunited with your girl.
I'm so happy that @canadian-coconut convinced you to join steemit, people here really care and we'll do all we can to help you get your daughter back.
Bless.

Hi @mayaabb,
I am American, but I am currently living in Malaysia. I have been encouraging Christians here to not fight for larger welfare legislations that impact the family. I believe your story is extremely important as an example of what I am warning them about. The more the the State helps your children, the more they will be likely to take your children because it is "for the children."
Agreed. More government money = more government involvement because they will expect a return of investment.
Definitely!
agreed, its def a money thing! I mean there is NO reason today she cant be home! in reality.
You can't ever quit.....keep hanging on
congratulations maya.
finally you get a court date and a good lawyer. hopefully you can regain your rights.
This is news that makes me very happy, it's a big step so that the case can come forward. Let's hope they do the right thing and that everything goes well. I wish with all my heart that you can recover your daughter !!!
friend continues to have strength your son needs you, we all know that the CPS generates many pains but also that there are those who leave the battle glorious

STOPI am so happy and proud for and of you! WHEN you get your daughter back, you will shine a bright light of hope for others. Just remain positive and confident. The judge will see and feel this.
Hi there, and I have to say how impressed I am of your strength. I would like to be right there with you when you go to the Supreme court, just to see them squirm would be good. Better still is the thought of you winning this terrible battle and getting your daughter back. This place ain't right and you have a ton of support from all over the UK.
Good luck to you both. My heart goes out to you x
