What is the name of your state? Kentucky-They live in Alasaka
I have 3 children (7,9,11)
To try and make a very long story short.....5 years ago I found out I was bipolar. I was hospitalized. My ex was notified, and given temporary custody of our daughter then 4 years old. my aunt was given temporary custody of my other 2 children until I was stabilized (ex is not their father). I co-operated with DCF and did everything they told me to do. i visited with my kids that were with my aunt as much as DCF and mu aunt would allow. My ex only allowed my 1 visit while she was with him in missouri.
Once I did everythin DCF wanted me to do, we went to court to see if the judge would allow the children to come back home. I realized that with my being bi-polar my children had been through alot. I didn't want to hurt my children anymore. I talked with the social worker, and she was going to recommend to the judge that the children come home. I decided to give the kids the choice of if they wanted to come home, or stay where they were. I only wanted what was best for my kids.
The 2 that were with my aunt, said they wanted to come home. My oldest, then 6, told the social worker that she had seen the change in mom (due to the meds). My middle child, who I only saw once, said she wanted to stay with her dad and come visit me....so that was teh agreement.
My ex-is in the military, and has been stationed in Alaska for the past few years. Since his move to Alaska, I have only gotten to see her twice when she came to spend the summer with me.
I try to keep incontact with her over the phone, but she is never there when I call, or no one answers. I haven't actually spoke to her since July. (I think her step-mom and dad have tried to keep me from contacting her, I think they are lying when they say she isn't there.
Out of the blue, last week my ex called and wanted to know if I would allow his wife to adopt our daughter. I was blown away. When I asked why, he said that she (daughter) wanted it. I asked to speak with her, but he said she was asleep. I told him I needed to think about it. Yesterday, my ex's wife called, and wanted to know what I had decided. I asked her why they wanted to do this. She said that my ex had just finialized the adopted on her oldest son, and now Faith (daughter) wanted her to adopt her. Again I asked to speak to Faith, and was told she wasn't home from school yet.
I don't know what their motive would be for wife to adopt daughter.
My question is, If I do allow this, will I still be able to see her? Can there be a stipulation in the papers that allow me to visit with her?
