[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 603845, member: 13542"] Welcome. I am sorry. It's heart wrenching when we are on the sidelines when our grand babies are put at risk. Are you thinking of trying to gain custody? I do not know where you live, but I am in No. Ca. and how I went about gaining legal permanent guardianship for my granddaughter was a number of steps. I first contacted Child Protective Services and reported my daughter, if your daughter is placing the children at risk in any way and you are willing to help and keep the children, they MIGHT be able to help you. I feel that I was fortunate in that there was a Social Worker who took a real interest in me who worked for CPS and she directed me through the process of how to get temporary guardianship (which is essentially for a few months to ensure the children are kept safe) and then permanent guardianship. I've heard stories about CPS which are not favorable, so I am not always sure that's the best option. It's a long process which involves court dates where your daughter will be notified to appear. It sounds as if she will likely fight you. If you can afford it, it may be prudent to find an attorney who is well versed in guardianship issues. You can also go online to your County Court and find the paperwork necessary for the temp. and perm. guardianship. I am so sorry, it is a terrible place to be, I understand how you feel................sending you good thoughts that this gets resolved and the children are kept safe. [/QUOTE]
