[QUOTE="DDD, post: 490316, member: 35"] As you know, Melissa, I completely understand. I don't know what paperwork you have to protect your five year old from parental input but we got a Durable Power of Attorney which allowed us to make all medical, school etc. decisions in lieu of trying adoption. Truthfully we were afraid that the biodad would go for custody and were not prepared to let him go anywhere unless we knew he would be safe. We ended up with the second son for eight years before his GFGmom took him back. The last baby we just refused to get attached to because we knew it would be beyond us. Two of my children did offer to adopt and raise the younger two children but GFGmom avowed "no way I am going to give up MY children". GFGmom has had a much bigger influence on the two older boys than I would have anticipated. She has undermined the basic living values that we tried so hard to instill. Sigh! It's such an ugly quandry. You know that I wish you the very, very best. It is my belief that the influence and stability given in the early years does get rooted into the children's heart and eventually wills out. At least we hope so. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
