[QUOTE="garrison, post: 524463, member: 14316"] I am envious of the adoptions! LOL My life would be so much easier if I could adopt! Here's our story- My son (bio dad) got a young woman PG. (In 04) We live in the great white north. Before we knew she was PG her mom shipped her off to live with dad in TX. Shortly after she moved we found out that she was PG. Bio mom called and told us that dad wouldn't take her to the DR and there was no food in the house. Pop's and I decided to bring her back up here and let her stay with us till the baby was born. Bio's moved out shortly after Mr. I. was born. Much drugs and stupidness later, they split. Mr. I. had stayed here several times during that time frame. Bio mom called in August of 07 and asked if I would watch Mr. I. for a week so she could work with the carnival. I said yes. She left town and didn't come back for 6 weeks. While she was gone i applied for and won Gaurdianship. Bio dad was unemployed and couch surfing. He was not in a position to care for Mr. I. I had guardianship for 2 yrs. The courts returned Mr. I. to his parents. Bio mom had another baby and fell apart again. Bio dad lived here on his weekly visits with Mr. I. Bio mom left him more and for longer periods. Last Sept bio dad moved out of my place and in with new girlfriend. Bio mom moved (again) and landed in a homeless shelter. Both parents agreed to leave Mr. I. here during the week. It was a very difficult and smart choice. I give them a lot of credit for making it. Mr. I. sees his bios on the weekends and vacations. They both call often and are involved in his care. Bio dad and his lady are expecting a baby boy in June. Both work full time plus and are doing ok. Bio mom is still homeless and jobless. She is expecting her third child in August. We all work very hard at giving Mr. I. what he needs. It's not perfect but it works for us. Garrison [/QUOTE]
