[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 705580, member: 16024"] Oh, sorry about the bio-dad, who has shirked his responsibilities! That is so crappy of him to do that. Another difficult child not taking care of his own business, and leaving it up to others. Five of my step-siblings spent their early years in foster care, so I understand your feelings about that. It's a last resort thing, for when there are no other options. I guess it was better than their situation with their mom, though, and apparently, no relative would take them (possibly relatives weren't contacted?) I had a friend who did the foster/adopt for a six year old, and she was surprised to learn that the grandparents wouldn't take the child in. She and her hubby were in their early to mid-forties at the time, and the grandparents were only a couple of years older than that. Of course, they might have had health problems or something else we don't know about. Take care of yourself and your hubby. This is a trying time for all of you. Is there any hope that your daughter will be able to get her kids back in the future? [/QUOTE]
