Stop the Deportation of my husband

My husband made a stupid mistake and gave a lift to a friend and agreed to fetch him not quite knowing what he was up to.  Anyway the police picked my husband up with this friend and my husband was charged with conspiracy to burgle and sentenced to 17 months in prison now the Home Office are trying to deport him from the UK and send him back home. 

 We have a 1 year old little boy he adores.  He has made a mistake which he is truly sorry for he has never been in any trouble before.  Please help it would destroy us as a family if he is deported.  The Home Office have said I could leave my 13 year old daughter in UK with her father and go to Albania with my husband.  Me and my children are the innocent victims who are being punished if my husband is deported.

Don'[t Split Up Our Family! 
A few years ago my Mum got remarried, I gained a new dad and a new little brother who is now just one year old.  Unfortunately some people are trying to force our family apart all because my step dad is from a different ethnic group- he is Albanian.  Only ten years ago images of horrific ethnic cleansing from Kosovo were on TV screens around the world, people forced to flee their homes in terror, sometimes with the complicity of the police and government . But now it seems away from the glare of media publicity no one cares about a family being split up because my step dad is Albanian and the government are actually trying to deport him because of his ethnic origin.Nearly ten years ago Tony Blair said, he was at the border where the refugees were arriving. It was one of the most disturbing, shocking, few hours of my life. What I saw, the stories I heard, were of the most appalling barbarity. I saw thousands of refugees who had been on the move non-stop for a month... They are the...victims of a terrible crime - a crime that has haunted the 20th century - ethnic cleansing.  Dont let the  family be split up! Dont force us to live in Albania where most of us have never been or speak the language or be divided!  How can a government attempt to ethnically cleanse us because one of us is Albanian and my little brother is half Albanian?  Why aren't people speaking out?  Why isn't our government doing something?Well actually our government is doing something- they are the government trying to deport my step dad.  Because this story this time isn't from Kosovo in 1998 but Birmingham in 2007.  "
