Going to court for custody of Grandbaby

[elnutsmalljaws]

Well boys and girls it is with serious mixed emotions that I post this. Yesterday I got the paperwork in the mail where Social Services has reccommended to the courts that I have permanent custody of my 26 month old Grandbaby. I have had temporary custody since August 20. My daughter continues to do the wrong things with the wrong people. It is difficult in that I feel like I am turning my back on my daughter, 24 yrs old, in order to help my Grandbaby. My daughter hates me for having custody even though it was the police and SS that placed her in my care. My Grandbaby has thrived in our house catching up to her age group in her activities has been a challenge but she has done it. Watching my daughter cry today as I drove away from her visitation broke my heart. Even though I know she put herself in this position it still hurts like hell. I have let comments gone from her calling me names all the way to her telling me she wished I would die in the hospital. Still thru it all she is my daughter but she is an adult. My Grandbaby is not and we raise her as if she was our own but knowing she is not. April 18 at 10:00 am I will be sitting in a courtroom listening to a judge deciding the fate of all of us. I just hope he makes the correct decision no matter what it is for my Grandbaby.

She continues to make her choice. You need to continue to make yours, and do what is needed for the child. Deep down, she knows that you are doing the right thing. Otherwise, the child goes to strangers in a foster care setting.
And I am in no way putting down foster care, but it is always better if family is involved. Hang in there and pray that she comes to her senses before it is too late.
