A mother who paid a stranger to smuggle her infant son into the U.S. was finally reunited with her baby after the child spent weeks in protective custody.
“The mother was in Mexico. We had to contact Child Welfare Services to recover the baby in order to give it back to her mother," Gonzalez said.
However, CPS disputed their claim. Gonzalez said CPS had placed the baby with foster parents and wanted to keep the child in the U.S. “They argued in front of the judge that she was a bad mother because why else would she allow for someone, a third person to bring the baby to the United States," Gonzalez said.“We had to go in front of a judge in order to convince a judge, that it was the baby’s mother, the most important person to have in custody of this baby," Gonzalez said.
As part of the reunification process, the Mexican Consulate requested a special permit from the U.S. Border Patrol to allow the mother to cross the border for humanitarian reasons. “Fortunately, in the end, the judge realized that the facts as proven by the letters we sent to the judge and presented to the judge were not in doubt. She was the mother, and therefore she deserved to have custody of her son," Gonzalez said.“I cried a lot because I didn’t know where my baby was, I didn’t know where to go, I didn’t know what to do in that moment," the mother said.
