I live in Maine
I helped raise my two grandchildren for the first couple years when my step son had them and mom came and went as pleased. Then he went to jail, I helped her but only a short time , disagree with everything she does, then she stole from me , about this time three years ago. It became harder to see them and she moved around a lot. It’s now been a year and 4 months since she told me I would never see them again for something she accused me of doing and finding out it was her mother didn’t change anything. I am the only one who has been there for them since day one and I miss them terribly! I have recently found them finally and even though I have my step son full support ( she took them from him 3 years ago and he hasn’t filed or anything yet, says he will when we get address, but I don’t know if the courts will just not consider him since he hasn’t. ) I am really nervous I will get denied for grandparents rights since they are both alive and parents have first say. I am not blood but have a very strong bond with them both and they have called me Grammie since they could speak!
