[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 455499, member: 11235"] It would be great if Violet would consent to giving you legal custody or at least guardianship, which would solve at least the legal issues of caring for a child who is not biologically yours. It sounds like she may be open to that, so I would at least ask her. If she agrees you can usually get the legal papers you need online and fill them out and file them yourself. If you need additional help contact your local library as they will know of low cost legal assistance in your area. I am in a similar situation, except my daughter and her baby are staying with me. A week or so ago they had an emergency with my granddaughter at the daycare and couldn't get ahold of my daughter, so they called me. I had to take KK to the emergency room and was concerned they would not treat her since I am not her legal guardian. They assured me they would treat her even without her mother's consent and they did with no problem. So at least if there's an emergency you should be ok. My daughter is not a good mother either, and it's hard to watch. I so understand the pain you are going through. Coming on here helps because we understand the impossble situations we are all in. I hope you get things worked out for your sweet granddaughter. She's lucky to have you! [/QUOTE]
