I just got off the phone with Leslie. She said she is sick which is why she hadn't responded to my messages since we got home, and that they are without a car at the moment. But, she agreed that we could pick them up and go to the paralegal to sign the permanet guardianship papers on monday. We have an appointment for Monday at 1pm. Keep your fingers crossed all goes well....

I take it there is a reason why you can't get it done toay? If she is in that frame of mind....act on it woman...act now.

Good Luck if you have to wait until Monday...sure hope she does'nt change her mind.

Yes, a very simple one, that was when the paralegal could do it. I had to really push for one that soon, and only got it because I told her it's Ross' only weekday off and that the temp guardianship ends on Tuesday (and that is true in both parts).

Leslie isn't who I am worried about. Adam is. But we will see what happens.

This is a HUGE step, I hope it goes well on Monday. And since you have one half of the parentsl( again used loosely) unit in agreement it would seem he would have to go to court to stand on his rights if he wishes them. I would still get something from the grandparents, couldn't hurt.

And this should at least prevent them from taking him away, shouldn't it?

You will be in my thoughts all weekend. Please do let us know how it goes!!

I truly hope everything works out the way they should. It hurts me to hear this, I get so emotional over children and where they belong as far as there emotional and physical well being is concerned. Again I hope it works out.

Well, not surprisingly, they need to *postpone*. We are still going to go get the paperwork started today, and will work on getting them to sign them on Wed when they are done...

hi everyone,

Basically we are still waiting,, just hoping CPS doesn't stop in to check before things are done. We have the papers we need to be able to keep him here at the moment, but the father decided he wouldn't give up custody, so we are settling for a court guardianship. It doesn't give us many rights, but the parents would actually have to petition the court to get it revoked, and they aren't known for actually *doing* anything.

The papers are set, and they have both agreed to sign, but the mother has landed herself in jail and until that gets settled, we can't get them signed.

::sighs::

Sandy,

Good luck to you with this...truly. It's obvious you have a lot of love to give to someone who really needs it.

Does "court guardianship" mean you need to go before a judge to accomplish this? If so, can you file the petition or motion, get the date and then have the mother served a summons (if she's in jail she's easy to find)? If so, they have to bring her to court. It may be one way to accomplish your objectives, and if she knows that's the way you're going to accomplish it she may not freak when she gets the summons and get difficult on you.

Don't know if that's any help to you or not. Different places have different systems.

Thanks for the advice Suz, but the papers we are trying to get done we are trying to do *exparte*. Since all grandparents agree, as long as the parents say they are willing these will allow him to remain with non-blood relatives.

If she gets out by the weekend, we can just get our notary to do it,, if she ends up having to stay in jail until her hearing (which could be weeks), we have to ask the warden to allow a notary to see her, or pay for a lawyer to go to the courthouse to see her. Adam said he wants to come to Race's 2nd birthday party,, but I don't expect them to show up. We WILL get this settled in the next few days, just have to hope CPS doesn't come by to check in the interim.

Well,, it seems Leslie is out of jail, and we have an appointment to get the papers signed on Wed. Adam says he would like to come to the BD party this weekend, but I would be shocked if they showed up. We actually (finally) have their address, and are picking them up to take them, so.....

Well, we have the permanent guardianship papers signed and being submitted to the court. It doesn't take away their parental rights, but if they ever do decide to revoke them we know have a *standing* in the courts eyes, and I am documenting (always have) every time we have ever spoken or they have seen him in the last 9 months (the last time being over 4 months ago).

Thank you to everyone for helping keep me calm while I was worrying about CPS. At least now they are not a concern (as we don't do anything they can take offense to that they are privy to).

Just a quick update. We picked up the court signed papers yesterday. Not surprising, I haven't heard from Leslie since the 4th of July, even though they insisted they wanted to see Race for his BD (he turned 2 on the 11th). It's now been over 22 weeks since the last time they saw him,,, and if they go a year we have grounds to have parental rights terminated so we can actually adopt him.

In the mean time, we will just love him, and enjoy him. ::winks:: I am bad though. He's mother's aunt, grandmother, and cousin came to visit over the weekend. His 2nd cousin is only 4 months older than he is. I played the show off in little things. Like giving the Aunt the extra pull-ups since I had Race 100% potty trained even though it was only a week after his 2nd birthday, and giving him a glass (real) while the cousin was using a sippy cup.

The Terible twos a small gift

Children are victorious
wet and young and bold.
Deep eyes, soft skin and
a wobbling body to behold.
broody, loud they run about
with legs and arms never stoping.
Their gazes in wonderment for
each moments learned step hopped.
rosy faces and laughing mouths
their pursue never at this age
undaunting a hug hard to catch.
as hard as the runny noses and
hankies pinned to their shirts.
Noble and fortunate you are.
look to the happy places not sad,
for the child reads everything
in your eyes and heart.

*Legal remedies* are none.

A similar situation happened to a friend of ours when their daughter dropped off her two children at their house and disappeared for months at a time.

With no way to contact her, they ended up getting an attorney to try to get some legal ability to do things like take the children for medical care, sign them up for school, etc.

The daughter refused to do this, and the situation deteriorated for almost 3 years. I was left watching the whole thing wondering why the daughter was not doing what was in the best interest of her children.

I wish you the best of luck, Estrict.
