A
NOTE FROM CATHERINE LAYLLE MEYER
When I took my two little boys to the airport in the
summer of 1994, little did
I know what a tragic turn our lives would take. Little
did I know that from that day on my children and I
would never be free to talk, to cuddle, to laugh and
to love.
After all, I was not sending my sons far, to some
unknown and dangerous land, but to Germany, to
see their father on summer holiday.
But my boys never returned. In an instant, their
whole world and mine would be shattered and I, their
mother, would be unable to protect them. |

In
four years, I have been allowed to see Alexander and Constantin
for only a few hours.
In four years, I have never been allowed to be alone with
them.
On top of that, in the few minutes that I have managed to
be with them, I had to witness
the anger and resentment of two children systematically
indoctrinated to believe that I have abandoned them.
 How can anyone
who has not lived through this barbaric experience imagine
what it is like?
How can anyone
imagine the torment, the pain, the despair, the sleepless
nights worrying
and agonizing, not knowing what is happening to your children?
How can I rest
in peace when my children may be calling for me in their
dreams, feeling
frightened and abandoned--and I, their mother, am powerless
to comfort them?
So that my sons will know the truth, I have written this
book.
It is our story: an account of the gross miscarriage
of justice that has befallen us.
When they grow up and are free again, Alexander and
Constantin will be able to read
these words and realize that I never abandoned them.
They will understand that I have always loved them, but
that we were caught in a legal
system incapable of delivering justice.
In the meantime, other people who will read this book will
realize that child abduction
is much more common than supposed. Unless urgent action
is taken, more lives will
be destroyed and more innocent children will see their world
fall apart.
They are my children too
