They were due in court later that day, and they argued over legal strategy. When the couple arrived, Stacey told the staff Paul was outside and she was afraid to leave. He was later charged with assault, uttering threats and taking a vehicle without consent. Stacey — then three months pregnant — later admitted Paul had stayed with her and kids for three nights over the previous several weeks.
The next day, social workers arrived to take Avery and Noah into foster care once again. This time, they would remain there for eight months. In November, Stacey's three children return home with her after a night in foster care. Scientists know what happens to children who are traumatically separated from their parents. First, a wave of stress hormones, including cortisol and adrenalin, surge through their bodies. Their hearts begin pounding, their breathing quickens, their blood pressure rises. Over time, the stress hormones begin attacking and killing cells in the hippocampus, part of the limbic system, which regulates emotion.
If too many cells die this way, the child will have trouble down the road, particularly when processing emotions and evaluating risk. The damage can be dramatic and permanent, affecting everything from academic and career performance to relationships. Decades of research have concluded that children forcibly separated from a parent have a higher likelihood of developing cognitive delays, and psychiatric problems including post-traumatic stress, anxiety, mood, psychotic and substance-use disorders.
For Indigenous children who are ripped away from their communities and culture, the physical and mental trauma is magnified and can span generations — something that has been well documented in survivors of residential schools and the Sixties Scoop. Stacey witnessed the impact on her children firsthand. When she arrived at the MCFD office for supervised visits with Avery and Noah, who were living in a foster home with five other children under the age of six, Noah often seemed lost, stunned and tired. He would go to others to be picked up and held before going to his mom.
It broke her heart, though she never let him see it. At the time, Stacey was six months pregnant and terrified. Most of all, she worried about losing another child. I was afraid I would have social workers outside the delivery room waiting for me to give birth. In early January, Miranda was born at the local hospital, weighing in at 7.
Paul was there for the delivery. A male social worker was on hand, as well, and as soon as he officially took custody of the newborn, Paul was forced to leave. He was not allowed back. Stacey and Miranda spend their last night in a hospital together this last winter, a few weeks after Miranda was born.
Our Impact
Her daughter was about to be placed in a foster home. Stacey held her tightly. It was Feb. Hospital staff took that highly unusual step — the typical stay following an uncomplicated delivery is a day or two — so that Stacey could breastfeed her baby daughter and spend critical early bonding time with her. Hospital administrators feared the media might catch wind of a brewing controversy; a month earlier, the family of a First Nations infant filmed her being taken away from her mother in a Winnipeg hospital, sparking a social media storm.
The hospital wanted Stacey and her baby out. They were joined by representatives from two Indigenous groups that wanted to present some creative alternatives to removing Miranda. An official with the B.

An alarm system, cameras and a series of new locks would provide additional layers of security. Stacey would change her cellphone number.
And there would be no long-term risk to the child. Lauretta Morin is a support worker with the B. Metis Federation. The relationship between the two has been studied extensively, and the correlation was found to be weak and statistically insignificant, according to a study in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Stacey had also admitted earlier that she suspected Paul might be using crystal meth.

But he denies any recent drug use. His lawyer, Simon Knott, says his client repeatedly offered to submit to urinalysis, but the MCFD has refused the offer. They seemed to imply that Stacey was the problem, though it was Paul who kept contacting her and whose behaviour had caused social workers to enter their lives in the first place. By that point, the meeting was entering its third hour. Everyone here has acknowledged that. This has gone on long enough. And so, on that February morning, Stacey was discharged from the hospital.
Two social workers put her and baby Miranda into a van and drove them to a ministry office, where, after a three-hour wait, she was told Miranda would be going to a foster home and given 20 minutes to say goodbye. Her breath came in ragged gasps. How am I here again? How can this be happening again? Morin comforts Stacey outside the local family services office just after Miranda was taken into foster care.

Stacey walks away with Miranda's now-empty car seat. There were pictures of her missing kids on every wall and shelf. The fridge was a giant collage of giggling children — on laps, in swings, in high-chairs, their faces smeared with food. Their empty bottles hung upside down in a rack beside the sink. Teddy bears stood like sentinels guarding empty cribs. Stacey kept looking down at the suddenly bare space in the crook of her left arm where Miranda had spent the past seven weeks.
She spoke in a dull monotone, the horror of the removal still raw.

Miranda had never taken a bottle. She had never slept on her own. Was she hungry? Stacey wondered. Was she crying herself to sleep?
She had never felt so alone. Her pride as a mother, as a provider, had been shattered. Yet, in Western Canada, three infants are taken into provincial care after birth every day, the majority of them Indigenous. Of them, were Indigenous, like Miranda. In that period, Alberta removed infants; of them, were Indigenous.
