Thanks so much. I'm actually waiting for an attorney to call me back with a consultation.

State is Georgia. My grandson has been in foster care since December 2018. He has been in my care all of his life before then. He was taken away while I left him with his mother for the holiday. He got sick and she gave him adult medicine and called the paramedics and they arrested her. Now I...

You are out of line. I did what I had to do to keep him with a family member that loves him..but now that I am honest and admit that I cannot do it and its not fair because I am not his mother I am gross...it is people like you...

Please note that I took care of both of my children until they were grown. I knew my health was ailing even before my daughter had him and told her to finish school and not get pregnant. She went and did it anyway. I helped her during pregnancy and birth..I negotiated with the father until he...

He didn't rape her. I knew him before he fled. He said they didn't have any condoms but took the risk.

Because I don't have legal guardianship and I really don't want to/can't afford to take care of him during the process.

I actually thought about that after I did it. Neither one of them are good parents.

His "father" only helped for 2 months after his birth with about $100 and fled to another state. She has an active child support case with him. She says she will go through the case and give me the money but I don't even want that. I cannot keep him.

She DOES NOT provide for him financially to me as she should. She will give me a few dollars ($20) here and there but when it comes to his school clothes etc..I had to buy myself or reach out to friends who are adamant about me giving him back to her. She just does not have any motherly love...

Oh sorry. I understand. I would never do that. SHE may do it herself, but I won't do it voluntarily but with my current situation they would probably take him from me. He is not being neglected or abused physically of course. He eats like a horse and is in good health because of me but I am...

No. I am just his grandparent. Nothing has been ever filed with the court and we do not have a verbal or written agreement. I just have possession of him because she won't open the door. There IS a court order for child support filed by my daughter for his father who has fled to another state...

He is in pre-K and the only thing his mother did was enroll him. I take him and pick him up from school everyday. The school calls her and she does not answer and then they call me. There is no legal or verbal agreement that gives me custody over him. I just have him and do everything for him...

I need to clarify..he knows who she is...(kinda)..doesn't call her mother but she has kept him as her "brother" maybe once a month. Why would I be in legal hot water just for giving him back to his mother to take care of?

What is the name of your state? Georgia My 28 year old daughter has a 5 year old son that she had after an alleged rape. (she has told me different stories). She took care of my grandson until he was 2 years old and then dropped him on my doorstep. He is autistic with ADHD and really a hand...
