Xow is playing games again. In May she let J (oc) spend the night and through out June we were able to have him over night a few times and spend a few days with us.

The end of June, she dropped her daughter ( not oc) off to play with my daughter, didn't call or pick her up till the next day, 4 in the afternoon to be specific. Claimed to have fallen asleep.

Ever since then she has refused to let H take J. Claiming to go camping, but she was playing in her backyard with the kids.

Now she is playing the adoption game. SHe told H she wants him to sign off on J, trying to save us money. She will still let H see J, but wants her H to adopt him.

Her and her H have been seperated on & off for the past year, she has admitted to abusing the kids, sleeping around on her H. She is living off of welfare & unemployment, refusing to get a job. But H is supposed to sign off on him? Our kids already have an attachment to their brother.

I'm so sick of this. I wish we had the money to get custody of J and get this crap over with.

Hi

I am so sorry. I wish I had an answer for you. I hope somebody knows how you can get help to get custody of OC.

If you do not have the $$$$$ for an attorney you can represent yourself. You can probably get a filing fee waiver too.

Start by setting up your case against her. Document EVERYTHING. Call DSS to investigate her & the abuse, if it hasn't been done already. When she left her daughter @ your house (what's that about anyway?) you could have called DSS & claimed the child was 'abandoned' & by all accounts she was since you had no idea when OW would be returning to get her.

This is what you have to do to get H son out of that mess. There is no excuse ($$$) since you can do all of this yourself. You just have to get PROACTIVE & PREPARED.

You can also go to Legal Aid & see if you qualify for them to assist you. Also have H contact a local father's rights agency.

There is no excuse to stand around if this child is being abused.

You can do it.

AMEN! ktbunch!

Bravo.
