I found the link where James misses Kaine.  This is so dog-on painful, SM ripped James away from three fathers. IMO

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/08/terri_horman.html


James said he misses his little sister — and would like to see Kaine as well.

"He was like a dad to me," James said. "I lived with him for eight years."

Kaine hopes to talk to James again soon. snip...

i never noticed the caption under james pic b4,isnt that about the time she sent him
to his father to live

caption reads
Ecker's parents remember James as being a curious and lively child. Horman legally changed his last name from Ecker to Moulton in January this year.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/08/terri_horman.html

Yes, sometime between January and March he went to live with his biological father Ron Tarver.  Keep in mind it has been Ecker that has paid child support and not Tarver. 
hopefully mr ecker has been able to get out of the support order by now, hopefully she isnt required to have any say in that, i think the money is important to her and if we can track the money or lack of it and where she is getting her money, then we can find kyron. i noticed that landscaper mentioned in blink article alludes to him having a lawyer, how do all these people involved not testify at grand jury, or if they do, how do they lawyer up?

Also, there could have been a situation with Ecker that we aren't privy to which is why he continued to pay support.

Klaas,

That is kind of you for credit to Mr.Ecker, who paid $500.00 a month for child support for an adopted son, who he hasn't seen in five years.  What a responsible man. I can not judge Mr.Tarver, I do not know the circumstances, with SM I would want to know the details.

James did live with KH for seven years and mentioned he missed him. I'm sorry I do not have the link.

That statment by James was in another article and I don't remember what it was about to begin to search for it.

Hey!  Where'd my post go???

Well, I said perhaps there was a situation with Ecker, that we aren't privy to, which could explain why he continued to pay support.

I have wondered in the past if Mr. E found out he was J's bio dad............hence the child support?
Mr. Tarver may not be J's birth father? 
But then I think why is J living w/ Mr. Tarver now?

I appears that poor Mr.Ecker paid for SM education, too, besides adopting her son.


Richard Ecker said he paid for her education, which remains a sore point for his parents.

"He wanted to go to college, too, but she came first," Mavis Ecker said.

Why doesn't Terri include Pacific University on her resume?  She attended the local community college in Roseburg, NW Christian
U. and if this is correct she earned her Masters of Art Education, impressive. Why isn't on her resume?


In 2003, Terri earned a master's of art education from Pacific University in Forest Grove and was an on-call teacher for the Hillsboro School District, remaining available as a sub until 2006.

The Teacher Standards and Practices Commission said she maintained her basic teaching license until March 2007, then took a break, renewing it in February this year. The state has no record of disciplinary action against her.

  I'm the Monkey Menace, today! 

I wanted to refresh the fact the GJ may be in session untill (possible) to the end of October or beyond if another extension
is required.  I wish someone would come forward and tell us what's going on like Bruce McCain:)

snipp..

KGW has learned that Judge Jean Kerr Maurer issued an order from August 20th through October 29th restricting any audio or visual recording of witnesses coming or going from the grand jury room. Maurer had issued a similar order in early August but it had since expired.

I dont know why James name was changed other then to guess he didnt have a relationship with Mr Ecker and perhaps he didnt want that to have his name anymore? If I place myself into his situation I think I would want to change my name as well. From the sound of it, James was going through a difficult time back in Janauary when the name change happened.
Poor kid, I hope he is doing ok now.



In a way she was "rearranging" her life starting around end of 2009.

Changing the kids name and then sending him to live with the other side of the family are other indications.


   


I have seen interviews with Terri's friends that indicate she did go through a change at the end of 2009. Not that it is a fact, but they referenced her finding out about an affair KH was supposedly having. I actually believe that TH wanted KH attention and if this were true (affair) or she thought the marriage were done, that may explain her behavior. It also makes sense, whether it is fair or not, that she may have begun to be more antagonistic toward Kyron, if she could see the marriage was ending. She may have begun to numb herself to living in a different house and being out of his life. I am not saying any of this is right or healthy thinking, but she doesn't sound like a very mature person, on the inside.

Good late afternoon Monkeys

The article I think that tells the most info is this link
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/08/terri_horman.html
snipped:
By 1995, Horman's marriage to Tarver soured, with each accusing the other of infidelity. They divorced in November, and she gained custody of James, with Tarver agreeing to later pay child support.
Horman moved back to her parents' house in Roseburg. She later attended McDonald's fast food management school and worked for a time at a McDonald's in Cottage Grove, Ecker said.

In August 1998, two years after they were married, Richard Ecker adopted James. Tarver, who struggled financially, agreed to give up his parental rights.
The Eckers thought it was a bad idea.
"She pushed him," Chuck Ecker said. "And being Richard, being a good guy, he adopted James."
In January 2002, Horman and Ecker were divorced. She got primary custody of James and the decree included an informal agreement that Ecker would pay about $169 a month in child support.
A year later, Horman went to Washington County authorities, asking for more child support. His payments were bumped up to nearly $550 a month. Ecker went to Horman's house to ask for a break on child support, saying the payments were cutting a big chunk out of his salary. She seemed amenable to a reduction, he said, but the next day he got a call from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, telling him to stop harassing his ex-wife.

Ecker has not seen James since that call and still pays child support. He estimates he's contributed about $46,000.
__
My guess is you cannot get blood out of a rock. That Jame's bio dad was unable to contribute towards Jame's welfare. He then signed off his rights to James. That Ecker felt he was Jame's father and did do the right thing by offering child support at first ... Yet he then was taken advantage of by Terri. She went from an informal arrangement to filing with Washington County for " child support" when then the court would have based his payments on his income level. Irregardless of him being Bio Dad or not. He took on the financial responsibility when he adopted James. Which appears it was amicable at first... once Terri opened that door to the courts. Ecker didn't have a chance. Same thing happened to my Brother with his bio daughter - and add a very angry bitter ex wife...who was not able to generate enough income on her own. ( They were married for 3 mos, their divorce lasted longer than the marriage) He had been paying for years. Never late. Then things changed in her life and she went after him with a vengeance. The court ordered my Brother to pay over 400. a week. Not month. Per Week.
That's when he had to get an atty. It was argued in court and resolved.

  Welcome ABP

Your post of Terri made me think. I just found this on the net ..
http://www.abandonment.net/abando.frame.html

Knowing that Terri was adopted as an infant. Has posted on the net, her search for her bio parents. 

snipped from link above:
What is abandoholism?
You’ve heard of food-oholism, work-oholism, shop-oholism and, of course, alcoholism. Now here comes another, most insidious, addictive pattern – aband-oholism.

Abandoholism is a tendency to become attracted to unavailable partners. Many abandonment survivors are caught up in this painful pattern.

Abandoholism is similar to the other ‘oholisms, but instead of being addicted to a substance, you’re addicted to the emotional drama of heartbreak. You pursue hard-to-get partners to keep the romantic intensity going, and to keep your body’s love-chemicals and stress hormones flowing.
--
What makes someone an abandoholic?

Abandoholism sets in when you’ve been hurt so many times that you’ve come to equate insecurity with love. Unless you’re pursuing someone you’re insecure about, you don’t feel in love.

Conversely, when someone comes along who wants to be with you, that person’s availability fails to arouse the required level of insecurity. If you can’t feel those yearning, lovesick feelings, then you don’t feel attracted, so you keep pursuing unavailable partners.

You become psychobiologically addicted to the high stakes drama of an emotional challenge and the love-chemicals that go with it.

Abandoholism is driven by both fear of abandonment and fear of engulfment.

When you’re attracted to someone, it arouses a fear of losing that person. This fear causes you to become clingy and needy. You try to hide your insecurity, but your desperation shows through, causing your partners to lose romantic interest in you. They sense your emotional suction cups aiming straight toward them and it scares them away.

Fear of engulfment is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It occurs when someone is pursuing you and now you’re the one pulling back. You feel engulfed by that person’s desire to be with you. When fear of engulfment kicks in, you panic. Your feelings shut down. You no longer feel the connection. The panic is about your fear of being engulfed by the other person’s emotional expectations of you. You fear that the other person’s feelings will pressure you to abandon your own romantic needs.

Fear of engulfment is one of the most common causes for the demise of new relationships, but it is carefully disguised in excuses like: "He just doesn’t turn me on." Or "I don’t feel any chemistry." Or "She’s too nice to hold my interest." Or "I need more of a challenge."

Abandoholics tend to swing back and forth between fear of abandonment and fear of engulfment. You’re either pursuing hard-to-get-lovers, or you’re feeling turned off by someone who IS interested in you.

--
Interesting  could Terri be a Abdonaholic?

Welcome ABP

Your post of Terri made me think. I just found this on the net ..

Knowing that Terri was adopted as an infant. Has posted on the net, her search for her bio parents. 

snipped from link above:
What is abandoholism?
You’ve heard of food-oholism, work-oholism, shop-oholism and, of course, alcoholism. Now here comes another, most insidious, addictive pattern – aband-oholism.

Abandoholism is a tendency to become attracted to unavailable partners. Many abandonment survivors are caught up in this painful pattern.

Abandoholism is similar to the other ‘oholisms, but instead of being addicted to a substance, you’re addicted to the emotional drama of heartbreak. You pursue hard-to-get partners to keep the romantic intensity going, and to keep your body’s love-chemicals and stress hormones flowing.

What makes someone an abandoholic?

Abandoholism sets in when you’ve been hurt so many times that you’ve come to equate insecurity with love. Unless you’re pursuing someone you’re insecure about, you don’t feel in love.

Conversely, when someone comes along who wants to be with you, that person’s availability fails to arouse the required level of insecurity. If you can’t feel those yearning, lovesick feelings, then you don’t feel attracted, so you keep pursuing unavailable partners.

You become psychobiologically addicted to the high stakes drama of an emotional challenge and the love-chemicals that go with it.

Abandoholism is driven by both fear of abandonment and fear of engulfment.

When you’re attracted to someone, it arouses a fear of losing that person. This fear causes you to become clingy and needy. You try to hide your insecurity, but your desperation shows through, causing your partners to lose romantic interest in you. They sense your emotional suction cups aiming straight toward them and it scares them away.

Fear of engulfment is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It occurs when someone is pursuing you and now you’re the one pulling back. You feel engulfed by that person’s desire to be with you. When fear of engulfment kicks in, you panic. Your feelings shut down. You no longer feel the connection. The panic is about your fear of being engulfed by the other person’s emotional expectations of you. You fear that the other person’s feelings will pressure you to abandon your own romantic needs.

Fear of engulfment is one of the most common causes for the demise of new relationships, but it is carefully disguised in excuses like: "He just doesn’t turn me on." Or "I don’t feel any chemistry." Or "She’s too nice to hold my interest." Or "I need more of a challenge."

Abandoholics tend to swing back and forth between fear of abandonment and fear of engulfment. You’re either pursuing hard-to-get-lovers, or you’re feeling turned off by someone who IS interested in you.

Interesting  could Terri be a Abdonaholic?


TMH wants the Challenge, not the man. When the challenge is over so is the person, gonzo Smile  She wants the challenge for
a child then gonzo for the kid.  IMO.  Abandoholic?  Perhaps a connection of some sort.  She only wants the excitment and
noth of the dirty dishes.
