--- Quote ---At about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, the foundation received a call from someone in Oakland claiming to know where Emily was. Craig Akers verified the information. By 3 a.m. Thursday, he felt someone needed to get to Oakland immediately. No time to alert authorities. And Graeber's family was dealing with another family emergency — Emily's maternal grandmother was near death.
"Pam and I decided the easiest thing was to go ourselves," Craig Akers said.
It was their first trip to the Bay Area. Once in California, Craig Akers said he called police to ask for help, in case something went wrong, but was told that could take hours.
Already on an unorthodox adventure, he decided not to wait. The couple knew Emily was staying with a teenage boy and his mother. Emily had met the teenage boy on a bus, telling him she needed a place to stay so she would not have to return to what she called her boarding school, Craig Akers said. She was not hurt, not hungry — just hiding.
"She was very, very fortunate," Craig Akers said. "She was taken in by decent people."
Craig Akers said he explained why they were there, that they needed to get back to St. Louis so Emily could say goodbye to her grandmother. And Craig Akers told Emily her parents agreed she would not be forced to return to the Utah treatment center.
Within an hour, they were back at the airport. And a missing child was on her way home.

Sorry Emily, but I feel I have to out you in order to keep you from being sent away.
Emily Graeber was adopted and welcomed into the heart and home of a couple who believed they could not have a biological child of there own. Wonderful, until Emily's sister came along.
This young women needs her community to come forward, love her, support her and help her grow into the amazing person she is destined to be. Rabbi Talve, you can expidite this process. Island View is not her community.
People like Alan Newman see $$$. How dare you put a price on the emotional growth and wellbeing of a child. If her parents are not up for this difficult task then they should reach out to their family, friends and professionals around them. We are here. We are willing. Please do not send Emily away again.

Just to clear up any confusion. I am glad they are not sending her back to Island View, lets all just hope her parent's learned their lesson and not immediately expect the worse from them. I forgive my parent's for doing what they thought was right for my sake, even if it wasn't; lets allow Emily the chance to forgive hers as well.
