To those of you following the story of Allison Quets, she will be featured on the Dr. Phil show on Wednesday, April 11th.
Allison Quets made headlines around the world when she took the twins she had placed for adoption across the border into Canada. See her exclusive interview from behind bars where she awaits trial.
A Florida appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling sealing a lawsuit filed by Allison Quets, who is in jail facing federal charges of international parental kidnapping.
Note: The Dr. Phil show, following in the footsteps of Nancy Grace, has bumped Allison Quets story until April 12th in favor of more coverage of the never ending saga of Anna Nicole Smith.
Anna Nicole Smith’s estranged sister, Donna Hogan, has written an unauthorized book. She hasn’t spoken to her sister in years, so is she really trying to set the record straight or is she just tarnishing Anna’s memory?

While you wait to view the Dr. Phil show take a minute to read this story of a mother who abducted her child from the legal guardian and avoided authorities for 8 years.
Note: Should local affiliate not have aired the show you can view a brief slideshow with some narrative text here. Dr. Phil concludes his interview with this observation.
He continues, “I absolutely do not believe that Allison is someone who should be in prison right now living in a jumpsuit in a cell. That just does not make sense to me. Does she have a case? I suppose the court is going to have to hopefully bring the wisdom of Solomon to this and make a decision about that.”
Allison Quests should not be held in jail for taking her own children for Christmas. An electronic tracking devise is more within reason until she comes to trial. She was under too much emotional and physical stress when she signed the adoption papers. There are too many other issues involved that have not been brought out into the open to explain the reason why this very professional, intelligent woman went beyond the rules of law to be with her twins at all costs.
I think that Allison being held in jail is perfectly reasonable. You cannot take away children from their parents. Not only is she upsetting the Needhams life, but the childrens too. Yes she is their mother, but it takes a lot more to be a mom. What she is doing to this family and these children has gone way past overboard. She should have thought about all of this before she gave Holly and Tyler up. If she had any doubt in her mind about the decision she shouldn’t have done anything until she was absolutley sure she was making the right decision. Now she’s causing so much more stress and heartache then there needs to be. I hope she will come to her senses and let the children stay with their mom and dad that have given them everything they have needed. Fighting is only going to hurt them worse.
Allison’s baby was stolen by an unscrupulous “boyfriend”. The Needhams should return the child to its natural parent. Those children will despise them and be very conflicted as they grow older and learn the truth. What these “adopters” did is no different than stealing a baby from a hospital. The Needhams and their accomplice boyfriend engaged in what should be illegal child stealing. They are the ones who belong in prison!
It is obvious that Allison was put through Durress and lack of concern when forced to sign those papers. Yes she did go back and sign the papers again but who knows what5 was going on maybe people were still harrasing her. She was sick and not in her right mind at the time. A women would not spend that kind of money and go through the work that she did if she did not want these babies. FREE ALLISON AND GIVE HER BABIES BACK.
Until you have suffered this debilitating illness you cannot begin to know how the person feels. My daughter went through this terrible illness and was determined to terminate her pregnancy. I prayed hard and loud because I knew that my daughter would never forgive herself for this decision. I have never in my life been through such a traumatic time and it was soul destroying to watch someone suffer like this. God answered my prayers and help was at hand at the last moment. Today my daughter and son-in-law are blessed with the most beautiful and happy little boy and Mom is the best Mom a child could ever wish for. Allison does not deserve to be locked away – she must get her children back and be the Mom she wants to be. I pray for Allison that she is redeemed.
Free Allison, she has been to hell and back and has always wanted to be a Mom to her children, she was just desperately ill and wanted to be well again. They had no right to let Allison sign documents knowing that she was not well. I am a South African but will be following this story and praying for Allison. God Bless You.
Allison Quets does not belong in jail. She was used, manipulated, taken advantage of, and lied to by the adoption industry, and greedy infertile adoptive parents, and because of that she is in jail! Believe me, I know, I am a birthmother. I lost my daughter in the same jurisdiction that Allison lost her twins. In fact, Allison worked, but did not place her babies, with the same attorney that legally stole my daughter from me. I am appalled, disgusted, and angry at how this adoption industry destroys lives. Children belong with their real mother unless there is a natural disaster or the parents died. Adoption for selfish greedy infertile couples is not a birthmothers responsibility. We are loving and genuine human beings, not baby machines and cattle. Allison did allow her emotions to dictate her behavior when she crossed the border in to Canada with HER children, but if you look at the domino effect of situations that put her in that drastic move you can understand her perspective. After all, she is a mother. Allison deserves to fight and regain her children on house arrest or probation, not jail. If the adoption industry ethically took care of her needs and referred her to proper counseling that was unbiased she would have her children now. The people who need to be in prison, not jail, is the manipulative adoption professionals, and yes they are professionals, professionals at deceit, for legally kidnapping children. God bless Allison, her family and her innocent children. Thank you for reading this.
I can honestly say, living without a real mother in your life is not easy. I grew up hating my mother for not raising me, thinking she didn’t care at all, only to find her at 16 and know that she loves me more than anyone. The adoption industry is wrong. They lied to her and knowing that she was not in her right state of mind, forced her to sign over the two most important things in her life, her twins. To my opinion, crossing the border was NOT in fact wrong. She was doing what her motherly side thought was right. The children were in great care, spent the holidays with their mother who loves them, and were in no danger whatsoever. Children who grow up with hate in their heart & anger in their mind are proven to end up either on the streets, using drugs, or in jail. I would hate to see this happen to theese innocent children. I was incarcerrated with Allison in Franklin County, and she meant no harm to theese children. She just wanted to prove to not only the adoption industry, but to her children that she loves them and that she can be a mother to them if she had the chance. I think the case should be dismissed, the adoption agency should be forced to sign her children back over, Allison should be payed for her time spent in jail, the children should be awarded a some of money into a college fund for being put through immortal hell, and Allison should be awarded all fines & costs that she has spent to fight for her children and her rights. The justice system can say what they want but there is nothing to say that can justify Allison being incarcerrated. Thank You for your time & Thank You for reading this.
