[QUOTE="witzend, post: 213441, member: 99"] Well, I hope it will go well. There's so much wrong about this. You're good enough to raise him for six months but not good enough for visits? I think not! Happy Birthday, by the way. Did either of his parents call? I would be [I]so[/I] taking notes on this stuff! I would also do what I could to find an independent evaluation done on the child as to your place in his eyes. In Oregon we recognize what is called a "psychological parent". It's where a child is aware that someone is not their biological parent, but sees that person as a parent because that person parents them. Psychological parents [U]have legal standing to seek custody[/U] in a court of law. It is a recognized status in Texas, if you have a savvy attorney. [COLOR=Blue]courts have also recognized that children have an interest in maintaining "...the ties that connect them to adults who love and provide for them."[/COLOR] Tell an attorney to site "Winczewski v. Winczewski". Here is a link to Oregon's laws regarding the issue. It's pretty convoluted, but precedent setting.
