What is the name of your state?Arkansas
My husband and I have full gaurdianship of two of our grandchildren,ages 10 and 12.They have lived with us three years now.When we got them they had already been taken away from their mother by her parents.They also have a sister who lives with the maternal grandmother and is a special needs child.When we got them,we filed for legal gaurdianship,so they would not be shoved back and forth.The day they decided to give them to us,because they could not care for all of them,we got them with the clothes on their back and nothing else.Their parents have been in and out of jail and correctional facilities and prison on and off for three years now.There are no stipulations of visitation on our gaurdianship,it is at our discrimination.
Now the other grandparents are trying to tell me to give them permanent steady visitation and I will not.I have always allowed the children to go to their other grandparents when their schedule permits it.The children are very active in school and have a normal home life and I will not have this changed.The other grandparents have not helped us at all financially with these children.The day we took them we gave up the the title of grandparents in speaking and had to become the parents and do what parents do,raise their children.The kids are very stable and happy,they love their other grandparents,but they do not want to be made to go when they don't want to.
Their mother was raised by her mother and her grandparents and shoved back and forth all her life,and there was jealousy invovled between them in this .I will not have the two I have shoved back and forth and do think I am in the right .They kids have been living a normal life all this time,now they want to try to mess it up.I feel I am in the right,I do not want to hurt any one,just raise the children the way they should be raised.I do not want to keep them away from there other grandparents,but I do not think they have the right to tell me what to do,If the children were living a normal life with their real parents,the situation would be the same,they would visit their grandparents like normal kids do.I have othetr grandchildren and I do not demand my children to bring them to visit me at a set time.
I feel I have been fair in all this.Am I right?
