[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 749356, member: 18516"] I know there are others that have more experience with what you are dealing with. My first thoughts are what is best for your grandchild. Since the baby has lived with you for 6 months, that brings up a host of questions. Has your daughter given you any money for the care of her child? How much time does she spend with her child? From the little bit you shared, I'm wondering if in a legal sense that she has abandoned her child. How long are you willing to take care of her child? If she is using the baby for leverage and reason for being at your home, these are just wrong. I do not want to come across harsh but she is using you in the worst kind of way. You are taking care of her baby and what is she doing? Continuing to live her life irresponsibly. How long are you willing to care for your grandchild? How do you see this playing out in 3 to 5 years and beyond? I would hate to see you care for your grandchild for several years, where your grandchild has completely bonded with you and trusts you, only to have your daughter come in and take the child. I am wondering if you should be contacting a lawyer or family services. I really think you need legal advise on how to protect yourself and your grandchild. I'm so glad you are here and I'm sure others will chime in. [/QUOTE]
