Hi, I just wanted to know if I can get a little more hope than I already have, I pray and pray every day and would like to know some opinions.
My bf was sentenced to 6 months in a federal detention center for illegal reentry. I found out I was a month pregnant when he was locked up. I am here in Mexico waiting for him. He was to be deported on march 14 and just in the border he was returned because he has pending charges in nueces county, texas. He had I think it was 3 state felony charges for forgery, of which 2 were dismissed and the one left was the one that had a bail of $10000. And one minor drug offense classified as MB. He has always lucked out, I believe God is on our side. When he was 18, he was charged with aggravated assault with deadly weapon, although he wasnt doing the crime, he was just with the wrong people at the wrong time. He didnt have to do jail time, he got 7 years probation. 2 years later he was caught with drugs (which he wasnt going to take, his mother in law insisted that he take it because he was so tired from his 2 jobs trying to support his newborn baby). He was arrested for parole violation and given 2 years. He was then deported to mexico. He went back and that is when he received those current charges he has now. But he knew he was facing a lot of time so he came back to mexico and its where we met. He has changed a lot, he stopped using drugs, we planned on getting married, which wasnt even in his vocabulary. I prayed he would be back by the time our son is born so when I knew he only received 6 months, I knew it was a miracle, since reentry can be up to 10 years. Now, I have been having problems with this pregnancy due to stress, was at risk of preterm labor. My bf has turned to God, and started reading the bible and having faith, which before, he used to think that God had abandoned him. I have tried to do everything possible to get him to come back in time. I wrote to the judge handling his case, I was told that judge is a very nice person and very understanding. I explained our situation. Mario didnt return to the US to live, he was going to drop off his kids. He has changed, he is a good person and I KNOW for a fact that after going through this, he will not commit any more crimes. I also wrote to the governor, just in case. And I went to the mexican consulate and they are trying to help as well. We are hoping that he is given time served for the federal time he already did, and if it is necessary we will pay any fine imposed. But we just want him to be back in time for our baby's birth and dont want him there any longer. His trial is april 20, which would be a month after he shouldve been released. Is there any hope, that this judge being so comprehensive will let him out and deport him? Or at least receive a minimum sentence? I dont want my child to spend his first year of time, which is the most import without his daddy. I still pray every night and try to keep myself informed from a different country. I believe in God, and I believe in miracles.

Although nobody has responded, I looked up his case information and the same day that the judge received the letter I sent him, the minor drug offense was dismissed. It says prosecutional discretion. I dont know what that means, but that is something. Its one charge less he has to worry about. Im really happy because we I feel we are not doing all of this in vain. Although the sentence date shows to be 02/28/2006, dont know why, if he was still in federal custody. Maybe they had already decided to dismiss those charges since before?

Just in case anybody wants to know.... my bf was sentenced to 9 months and did receive time served for the time he has already been there. So he only has 2 months left. Our baby will be born in a month a half, even though he probably wont be here for the birth, at least our baby will still be newborn. I prayed every single night for this miracle and it came true. Now, according to his case info, I believe he did some time for the same charge in 2003 and was out on bond, so if he receives credit for that, he will be out just in time. I am really happy because it wont be long before Mario comes back home to us.

Congratulations on your blessing! I was in a similar situation where I had to make bond for my fiance so that he would be out in time for baby's birth. Unfortunately, he received a fifteen year sentence and had to turn himself in month ago and our little one is only three months old. I wish he could be home for the first year or even another day if he could . But I know there is a God and I will pray just as you did that he will make early parole and come home to his family soon.
