Resolution to Adoption Issue

septembers_child's picture

Thanks to everyone for being there and to those that commented on my last blog..

Bio mom, in our situation, has no parental rights her parental rights to SD and her other two daughters were severed by the state of California in three different situations. They were all taken from her and the youngest has already been adopted out. She has no rights to contact, visitation, nothing..I was told previously that the most we would have to do is file a petition and the judge would approve it after seeing her "parental" back ground.

I have opted to not adopt SD.

I am beginning to think that SD is brain dead (with a quick update)

Today, being Sunday and my only actual total day off from school since Memorial Day, I decided to sleep in past 8. Since I am a teacher, sleeping in for me now usually means I get up at 7:30 instead of 6:00 am. I went to the bathroom and found a note on the mirror saying that SD had a 7:30 am meeting this morning and would be back at around 11:00. I went downstairs and heard my grandson screaming hysterically for his mommy since he had woken up all alone GOD KNOWS WHEN.

Just needing to vent!!

I met a man 7 years ago after my 27 year marriage ended. We were good together. I fell so much in love with him. He had 3 children from a previous marriage, ages 6,8,& 14, at that time. They lived with there mom. The first summer we had them (3 months) was very hard on me as they didn't seem to like me from the start. I knew it was going to be rough on them, because they saw their dad with someone other then MOM. So I was very careful on how I handle having them in my home. The first week the 8 year old (boy) carved his name in my antique table that has been in the family forever.

BM is GONE and took SS with her

BF was supposed to pick SS up for visitation this evening. When he got to BM's house, he found a note taped to the door. It said "Mom doesn't know where I am. I've been told by several people NOT to let SS come with you due to the highlighted section." This was written on the back of her copy of my restraining order. She had highlighted the part where no one was to contact me for her or give me messages for her. SO she's gone. When we got home, we found a message on the answering machine from SS.

I think I am jinxing myself

See, it is already Friday and SD still doesn't have her bed outta here. I mentioned to DH that she would probably need his help tomorrow if she plans to be gone before the weekend is up. She works at 5 tomorrow evening and starts at 1 on Sunday. I won't be home to help and frankly, she doesn't want my help, so he will be the one to bear the brunt (no, she won't be concerned about his health.). His response: "Then I guess she won't be out of here by the end of the week." ARGH!!!!!

no vacation for sd

talked to bb again today and she told she wasn't bringing sd on thursday for our three-week vacation b/c she didn't want her to go with me. i asked her why and she said because sd doesn't want to spend time with me, she wants to spend it with dh...so why doesn't dh get his three weeks then? yeah, can you say contradiction? it just wears me out; that's why by the time i post on here, i'm so over it i don't disclose very much. the bottom line is that it's our vacation time and she has no say what dh wants to do with her.
