Topic : Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

YOU are so fortunate to have such blessings from God in your life. I have one son and he had one little girl who just turned 2 years old on June 6th and on June 17th he and his wife voluntarily terminated their parental rights to my precious granddaughter. They were pushed into doing it and my daughter-in-law brainwashed by the CPS worker and both of them put down so much and treated so unfairly and made to feel like they did nothing right when it came to caring for their little girl even though she was doing fine at home with them. It is all such a big mess! I couldn't get her becuz the CPS Worker does not like me and her husband is the sheriff of the county and I don't have the money for an attorney to fight to get her.

I called our Senator on friday and then was told to contact the attorney general and talked to that person and then from there it was suggested that I file a formal complaint on that CPS Worker. I am going to do that on monday morning!  Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. I have got to get my granddaughter!  I need prayers. 

     hello!! my husband and i are raising our 16 year old granddaughter, well the main problem is that as long as all is going well for jessica(granddaughter) life is good but if not, all hell breaks loose!! she yells and screams and tells us that she wishes we would die. my husband had a heart attack about 4 years ago and she actually told him that she wished he would have another heart attack and die. lately she has been hanging with the neighbor kids none of them is 21 mind you but there is always booze there and pot. i just don't know what to do anymore. she is getting out of control. i think that she's bi-polar but a doctor hasn't diagnosed her. most days i really wiat for her head to spin around!! lol she has been through a lot in her little life. we had her from the time she was 3 months until about 5 years ago, her mother came home to visit and we thought she had changed, that she would take good care of her, jessica wanted to go live with her mother, biggest mistake we ever made. her mother moved to missouri and lost custeody of her 4 kids. it took 3 years of fighting the courts to get jessica home. but we can't keep letting her get away with all that she does because of what she's been through. we really need dr phil's help!!!! thanks for letting me vent, glenice

Hi i am in the same situation as you. We have adopted our grandson. I have had him since he was 4 months old. His mother decided she no longer wanted to be a parent. She admitted she had him for the extra money, and to get a better place to live. She done some terrible things to him. Starving him and leaving him in his cot all day to cry. He is a lovely little boy and he is our pride and joy. i cant understand how anyone could hurt a innocent baby like that.

I just wanted to post in here and tell everyone that has adopted their grandkids that you are so admirable for that. They will be so thankful that they didn't end up in the system.

My parents were alcoholics and addicted to all kinds of drugs. My sisters and I were about to go into the system, but my grandparents wouldn't allow that. I'm 20 now and I thank god everyday I had them in my life!! I lived with them from age 4 to age 20. Things weren't always the best, but I wouldn't change a thing about my life, because god gave me these two wonderful people. Without them, who knows where I would be?

Thank you everyone who is giving your grandkids a chance to a good life. :)
