Same boat

Quote From: itsgina14

Mty daughter sounds like yours. I have had 2 of her children since they were born. I adopted Morgan, whom isd now 3 years old, and Trinity, 21 months, adoption is in the process now. My daughter agreed to an open adoption as she is well aware that she can not care for the girls. I would be as worried as you about their care, if she would have taken them back. Trinity has special needs. She is inflicted with Downs Syndrom, she as well as Morgan are such joys. It is hard though. I have to work 60 hours a week in order to support them. Child care alone, is $175. 00 weekly for Morgan. Right now, the state pays for Trinity's. Thank God.I wish you the best Gina
 It sounds like my situation a while back.  My daughter in law would take the kids and keep them for a week or two and expose them to the drugs and sex parties.  The state didn't look into it because I had them 99 percent of the time, so they were healthy and well taken care of.  There was no way for me to get custody of them.  But she finally got caught dealing drugs and she is
in prison now.  So I have the children.   But she will be out and ready to get them back in another year.  Do I trust her with them.  Is it up to me anyway.  I'm sure once she decides to get them, I'll be able to do nothing about it.  And thats scary, the children are only 2 and 4 now.
