04/12 Twin Tug of War

Quote From: faeryedark

I agree, she was taken advantage of (it's quite apparent) she should have those children back. I so feel for her. My husband's fiance' died when their child was 8 wks. old. he was out of his mind w/ grief and agreed to let his brother take care of his daughter and they said they'd help himlearn to deal w/ an infant . Once they had her they didn't want to give her back.   (THANK GOD he didn't sign custody papers) tho' they tried to convince him that the notarized paper he signed (so they could get WIC) was enough for them to keep her. I  told him B.S.  and we went and got her from her grandmother's (she was taken for a visit) that was 11and a 1/2 years ago...she's 13 now, and well adjusted.
OMG! How is the relationship between him and his brother now?

Jim, you appear to not have much, if any, experience with adoption to draw from. How would you feel if your children that you adore were taken from you at 2 years of age. And do you seriously think this wouldn't be traumatic for these children if they were taken from their parents now?
