Sean Goldman and his dad are coming home

24 December 2009 12 Comments

Sean goldman David Goldman is on his back to the US with his son Sean and I feel as though I know him and someone lost from my family is returning home.

I’m so relieved that David Goldman’s long battle for custody of his son is over and he’s heading home to the US after five years of being away from his father and his family.

I hope they are able to put back the pieces and move forward allowing Sean to make the many adjustments which will be necessary for having a normal life and I wonder how he will handle his grandmother who still lives in Brazil as there must be so much concern for what is appropriate for his son and doesn’t compromise his safety, could David Goldman ever trust the family not to try to keep or influence Sean if he did support a relationship with them in their country via, the mail, phone or email. I can’t imagine what was going through Sean’s mind as he was removed from the only home he’s known for so long, and I wonder if there will be any desire for Sean to maintain communication with his grandma once he’s settled back with his paternal family. In today’s world it won’t be hard for Sean to understand the full story regarding his abduction and his father’s fight to return his son home and there must be heartache no matter what Sean really wants as I’m sure he also loved his maternal grandmother. While this incredible story unfolded to us I found myself wondering how they would handle this horrible injustice without causing harm to the child, David Goldman had no option other then to fight for his son and now there will continue to be choices which have to be made to keep him psychologically in balance and able to maintain healthy feelings for both sides of his family as I don’t question their love for Sean only that they were unable to share him with his father and his family and used awful tactics and judgments this past five years along with the Brazilian justice system. (I’m now afraid to visit that country)

I’d also like to say thank you for the political pressure we watched unveil in the recent months and the television coverage which I’m convinced also helped bring this to a happy ending, I’m especially pleased that Hilary Clinton (a mother) seemed to be working behind the scenes with president Obama to apply just enough pressure to make this happen and enhance the holidays and New Years for the Goldman’s. Thus, now I pray they make the right choices for Sean so he is able to adjust and feel as though whatever feelings he has will be considered and respected, and he is able to grow up and choose to understand how much his father loved and fought to have a life with him, and I pray there are many good lessons here for all of us as we follow the progress of this family and realize we have to consider children first and our feelings after that because a child deserves and should have the love and support of both sides of his family whenever it’s possible.

This is a good day for most of us and I hope the Brazilian family of Sean is able to see this some day as well, Happy Holidays my friends.

Yes…the worry is, How does this effect the boy. This will be an adjustment no matter what—but how serious or wrenching this is for him—Well, we may never know. I pray it all works out well for Sean. He is the most important one in this fight for custody.

Merry, Merry, Merry, my dear Dorothy. I hope your Holiday is a truly special and wonderful one for you and your family. Enjoy!

I was so thrilled to hear the news of the little guys coming home, but like you, I pray that they find him and his father helps so they both can make the adjustments. He needs his whole family to support him and his father needs to understand that as well.

Happy Holidays!

Even though it was very hard on the boy at the time, I look at his Brazilian family marching him through all of those reporters as actually being a blessing. For it should settle any confusion he may have about them truly having his best interest at heart. May you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I saw this story in the news and felt so bad for all the little boy is going through and has gone through. I hope they can have a nice, quiet Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Well, I am just happy the child will be coming home to his father where he belongs, but, he is going to have a major transition ahead of him. I really feel for that whole family. On ALL sides.

I would like to talk to the young man and see how he feels about it. Hopefully he will be able to settle down down to a new life here.
Hope you had a good Christmas and have a wonderful New Year.

I had got a desire to make my own firm, but I did not earn enough of money to do that. Thank heaven my close friend advised to utilize the lowest-rate-loans.com. Hence I received the sba loan and made real my old dream.
