[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 110258, member: 2315"] first thing I am going to say is that YOU are entitled to live your life as you please. If this means not taking in and raising up grandchildren that are likely to have a mental illness no one should stand in judgement of lyour decision. While it is very very hard to turn away from a baby you need to ask yourself the very hard questions of "is this what I really want? Will I resent this child for the things I will have to give up to raise it? Will I be able to provide for this child should I become ill or infirm? What kind of a life with I and this child have? Would this child be better served if I let someone else care for him?" My advice is to take this issue under council with both a lawyer and a therapist. Take your time it is important and should not be something done in haste. Talk to other grandparents who are raisning their grandchildren. And do not let anyone make you feel guilty no matter how you choose. -RM [/QUOTE]
