About my Granddaughter... | Autism PDD

Hello my Friends,

Today we FINALLY get to see my almost 6 y/o Granddaughter Rayna, after not seeing her since Dec 2004! You see, my Granddaughter's other grandparents illegally adopted Rayna while my Daughter (Rayna's biological Mommy) was being dx with all her mental illnesses, you see there were times when Sharon (Rayna's mommy...my Daughter) lived too far from here to be able to visit Rayna. Sharon doesn't drive & was staying a couple hundred miles away while being dx. So Rayna's other granparents took that opportunity to say that Sharon had abandoned Rayna, when they SWORE to all of us that they wouldn't DO that. You see, they have lots of money AND they are personal friends with the Judge who presided over the adoption. So anyway, by the time WE all found out about the adoption, it was too late...BUT Sharon had just received a lil bit of back pay from SSI for disability., so she hired an attourney to fight the adoption, well he couldn't ...All he WAS able to get for all of us was a chance to stay in Rayna's life ...but only 3 times a yr 2 hours each visit at the other grandparents' home with their supervision. So we get to see her in July, October & December every yr. Sharon has to write them 6 weeks in advance to let them know when we'll be coming. Well Sharon DID that, then they sent us back part of the legal papers that say that only my Hubby, Sharon & me are allowed to be there, so in other words, they don't want us to bring Tony ( he's 9 y/o, Rayna's uncle & they're VERY CLOSE), Nikki (she's 16 y/o, Rayna's Aunt & Rayna LOVES her to death), & most importantly Riley , Rayna's BROTHER ,he's only 3 months old & she hasn't seen him yet!!! Tony is really close to Rayna, they're only 4 yrs apart & were inseperable before all this happened, he will NOT understand why he has to stay out in the car for 2 hours, while WE visit. They live an hour away from us, so it's not like we can just take him back home. Well, anyway.....weish us LOADS of Luck, we'll NEED it!! PRAYERS too OF COURSE!!

I'll let you know how the visitation went..............................

God Bless you all & your Families & keep you all safe!

I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry that this situation has happend for you and your family.  This must have devistated your daughter having to deal with a new illness at the time and then finding out that when she came home that her daughter was not with her anymore.  The whole situation is BS really. I'm so sorry that the other set of grandparents are such nasty people.  I hope the visit goes well.  Take care,

hmmm..........I know this is a blast from the past post............TonysMom, if you are still reading the forum boards..........do you have any legal documents the other grandparents may have signed that stated they would not take her away? is there anyone you can trust to tell the situation to, and maybe just go over there one day (say you forgot to write that you were coming)......or anything like that. Sometimes laws stand in our way of doing what is right for US..........for our MORAL VALUES.......the other set of grandparents lied to you. Think about that.....if the granddaughter had no reason to be taken away like that.........she should return. Do you have anyone you can involve to see how she is being treated over there? Then if the person finds something wrong.......you can make something out of it........who says you cannot question a judge's morals when he turns the evidence down for legality reasons? I'm not sure what you believe but for me............if your consience tells you that there is something seriously wrong with this situation (which IMHO there are several things wrong) then take it seriously.
