Welcome! My name is Simon Cambridge, author of the trilogy Denied! Failing Cordelia: Parental Love and Parental-State Theft in Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court. I’m so happy to have you as a visitor to my blog about my books.

This project is very special to me, and I hope to share some of the trauma and meaning of my daughter’s story with you here.

I’ll be using this blog to interact with you by expanding on some of the topics raised in each book as far as they pertain to child-welfare policies in the United States.

This is a great place for you to get to know me, and I’m looking forward to getting to know you, too. What are you thinking as you read through each of the books and have you reached any conclusions? What questions do you have for me? How do you relate to my book in terms of your own experiences of child-welfare agencies in your own home states?

I’ll be returning here frequently with new posts and responses to feedback from you. Until next time, please tell me a little bit about yourself and whether my three books have addressed your needs as adoptive parents or as parents involved in dependency proceedings?
