FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs may be serving life in prison, but his followers continue with their work on the YFZ Ranch near Eldorado, Texas where the group's white limestone Temple towers over the town they are building. Polygamy, the practice of plural marriage, appears to be alive and well in the Lone Star State, despite laws to the contrary.

Fill Me In
I've been gone for a bit, and I was wondering if anyone would fill me in on the highlights for the past 6 months or so.

Welcome back, Atari. Glad to see you finally got out of jail.
Nothing much has happened in the past 6 months other than Street getting his own threads here. Looks like your return cooincides with a fire-storm however. It will be interesting to see how things play out with this.
I am not in CC/Hildale but have visited there several months ago. It seems things were beginning to normalize with warren in prison and the heat of the media off. This may have repercussions there that will turn things backward. I think the Texas authorities will do what is right. Getting the facts sorted out can be a huge problem as they are about to find out. I hope Sheriff Doran will hang in there and see the law fulfilled but not abused.
Welcome back Atar! I missed you! Fttc is right. Nothing much happened besides Warren's sentencing which I am sure you probably read about in the newspaper or saw on tv.
hat do I do if I want to donate a professional service? We are currently not accepting offers for professional services.

If you are interested in volunteering, you may contact the community engagement staff at communityengagement@dfps.state.tx.us. Please be specific in your e-mail regarding how you are willing to help. We will respond regarding how to proceed. What if I want to donate a household item, toys, etc.? We are still assessing their needs and though we do not need donations at this time, we are keeping a list of offers for when the need arises. If you would like to add your name to the list, please send your contact information and the item(s) you wish to donate to communityengagement@dfps.state.tx.us. What if I want to be a foster/adoptive parent and I live in Texas? At this time we are not in need of foster or adoptive placements for the children removed in Eldorado. However, Texas is always in need of foster and adoptive families to assist with children who have endured abuse or neglect.
Please review the steps to become a foster or adoptive family in our “Get Started” section of our web site. There, you will find an overview of the foster/adopt program, the steps involved, and the requirements to become a foster or adoptive family. You may also read what others say about foster care and adoption at our “Success Stories.” What if I want to be a foster/adoptive parent and I do not live in Texas? At this time we are not in need of foster or adoptive placements for the children removed in Eldorado. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will contact child placing agencies in other states should foster placement outside of Texas become necessary. If you are a licensed foster parent living in another state and would like to have a Texas child placed with you, please contact the child placing agency with whom you are licensed.
Please note that if you are interested in a Texas child waiting for foster placement or adoption, and not currently licensed, we encourage you to get approved to foster/adopt within your state first. Please visit the web site for links to information regarding your state. I was once involved with FLDS or have some personal experience with religious sects. Do you need my help? Although there is not a current need for individuals with FLDS experience, we are accepting contact information for future use if needed.

My close friend has two granddaughters in the FLDS church. Their maiden names are Mary Belle and Bonita (or something close) Blackmore, children of Gail and Brandon of Alberta. If anyone knows where they are, please inform us at thesite@hughes.net
MY HEART GOES OUT TO EVERY FAMILY DURING THIS TOUGH TIME. KEEP STRONG AND KEEP FAITH. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. GOD BLESS
