[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 606576, member: 13558"] Jane, It's so unfair to the little ones. I have had people tell me I was selfish, but I have always felt blessed that my difficult child does not have kids. They can't take care of themselves much less children. My niece was renting a room (in Georgia) and another lady renting was pregnant. She asked my niece to babysit constantly and she would sometimes disappear for days at a time. We got to know the baby very well. Once my neice brought him to a family get together and I changed his diaper, his bottom was as red a tomato. The baby hardly ever cried. When the baby was about 6 months old the lady went to a notary and had a letter she typed up giving the baby to my niece. She left the baby and the letter in the diaper bag - said nothing - but never came back. My niece went to child services and was given temp custody (or something like that) and was told the mother would have to go to court to terminate parental rights. They had no idea where the mother was. They finally hired an attorney to adopt the little boy. The mother showed up at court and said she wanted the baby back, by this time he was 8 years old and had zero contact for as many years. Why she wanted to contest the adoption is a puzzle. It's sad that a mother like that can yank a baby from a stable home on a whim. I remember when my son would sit on the steps waiting for a dad that never showed up. Sounds like the lady loves your granddaughter, maybe they can sneak away without your daughter knowing! [/QUOTE]
