There is something that has happened that we all need to be aware of right now. There is something called, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, that can interfere with your fundamental, parental rights to raise your child. It is happening in many countries right now and America is next! Hilary Clinton is the newly appointed Secretary of State AND an avid supporter of UNCRC.
Basically, the government can override our parental rights without due process of the law and at their own whim. Parents now have to PROVE their capabilities to raise their own children under the assumption that all are already unfit. The government can make their own decisions about our parental rights according to their own definitions of what is in the "best interest of the child." This has been overwhelmingly abused in the other countries.
Here are some example testimonies that I found from the official website, at Parental Rights.
--------------------------------------------------------
A thirteen-year-old boy in Washington State was removed from his parents after he complained to school counselors that his parents took him to church too often. His school counselors had encouraged him to call Child Protective Services with his complaint, which led to his subsequent removal and placement in foster care. It was only after the parents agreed to a judge's requirement of less-frequent church attendance that they were able to recover their son.

"PSYCHOLOGICAL CO-PARENTS"
WEST VIRGINIA—A West Virginia mother was shocked when a local circuit judge and a family court judge ordered her to share custody of her four-year-old daughter with two of the girl’s babysitters. Referring to the sitters as “psychological co-parents,” the justices first awarded full custody to them, only permitting the mother to visit her daughter four times a week at McDonalds. Eventually she was granted primary custody, but forced to continue to share her daughter with the sitters.
When her case finally reached the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in October 2007, the beleaguered mother was relieved to finally be granted full custody of her daughter.
In their October 25 opinion, the Supreme Court justices wrote that they were "deeply troubled by the utter disregard" for the mother's rights. One justice referred to the mother's right as the "paramount right in the world."
Chief Justice Robin Davis summed up the case in one simple question: "Why does a natural parent have to prove fitness when she has never been found unfit?"

--------------------------------------------------------------SEIZED FOR A BLOOD TEST
NEBRASKA—When Mary and Josue Anaya received a letter asking if they would have their new baby Joel, undergo a blood test, they decided not to, citing religious convictions. The couple was shocked when weeks later Sheriff's deputies showed up on their doorstep to seize their six-week-old baby.
No one had informed the couple that if they refused to have the baby tested, he would be placed in foster care. The family’s attorney, Jeff Downing, says that "this is a classic case of the government overreaching and violating a family’s constitutional rights."
Joel is the first baby in Nebraska that has been seized for a mandatory blood test. In this particular case, Downing says, the state "acted first and asked questions later."
The six-week-old was kept in foster care and only reunited with his parents once the blood test was performed and the preliminary results came back.

I have a post started already on the CRC, and I think I will be wrapping it up and posting it.
Our country is in a dire position right now with Hilary Clinton becoming the Sec. of State. It is her commission to get the US on the UNCRC, and she has vowed to do so. As the Sec. of State, she is in the position to do so. I believe our world is a-changing when that happens.
Tuesday. The world changes on Tuesday.
blessings to you friend~
