I did my taxes for 2004 earlier this year. Brandy never does her taxes, let alone mine. So when I deployed to Iraq for all of 2005 I could not do my taxes. I could have done them last year, but was missing some paperwork - primary about Liam. When I tracked it down and filled out the forms, I was disappointed.
It seems that since Liam is not biologically related to me, I cannot get anything back taxwise. From January until August of 2004, Brandy and I watched him. His mother, Karin Marie Bayer, decided to move to Germany to marry an ARMY soldier ( who was subsequently discharged for misuse of property ).
I lent Karin Bayer the money to fly there - over $1000. She was to return after marrying, but decided not to. She also never paid us for watching Liam - ever. Once we realized she was abandoning him, we applied for WIC and applied for medical care for him.
Liam was also in poor shape when he moved in with us. His legs were malformed because he was never let out of his crib. He was also very weak for his age ( one year ) and could not speak at all. He made no facial movements, appeared to have no emotions at all. Karin obviously did not want this child - but being a conservative didn't believe in birth-control, adoption, or any other forms she considered "abortions." Obviously, her ideology didn't include adquate childcare.
Karin got pregnant with her new husband, got divorced after he was discharged, and moved back to the US. Her daughter may or may not have been taken away from her by now. But if she is the same person she has always been, the child should be taken.
People like Karin Bayer should be sterilized, to prevent physical and genetic abuse to humanity.
Liam's father was an ardent drug addict, dying of a heroin overdose in 2006.
Liam Patrick Austad was taken into custody by the state of Minnesota. He was adopted by a lesbian couple living in the suburbs of Minneapolis. Even though Brandy and I care for the kid, we are never allowed to see or know where he is. Karin has this option, but most likely does not care.
