[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 658860, member: 13542"] Tish, I am sorry. What a nightmare for you. As you may recall, I raised my granddaughter so I know how you are feeling about now. Whatever you choose to do, it is the right choice.......do what feels right in your heart. There is no right or wrong, only what you are willing to do. This is all so hard. There are many options open to grandparents, if you are keeping him for a year, look in to those. Ask Social services what you can apply for. I had legal permanent guardianship. However, there are more resources available, at least in CA. if the child is fostered. I am not sure of all of the details anymore, but you can research it and receive benefits. Patriot's Girl may be able to help too, she recently went through this with her grandson. Here in CA. there is an org. called Grandparents Parenting Again which helps to find resources as well as helping with guardianship. Look to see if there is somewhere like that which can help you negotiate this new territory. I knew nothing in the beginning and I did a lot of research, called, googled, checked on the court websites and I found out so much information. I'm so sorry about your sons TIsh. While they are there, take very good care of yourself. It's easy to neglect ourselves, but it is a time to triple our self care.......make sure you do nourishing, nurturing, kind things for yourself each and every day. Find others to help with your grandsons care. Do whatever you can to take [I]VERY good care of yourself.[/I] Sending you a big hug, warm wishes and prayers for your sons, you, your grandson and your husband........ [/QUOTE]
