[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 667395, member: 18516"] You have nothing to feel guilty about. You did not create this situation and it is not your responsibility to take guardianship of your grandchildren. It is so unfair that our DCs put us in this situation of having to make this choice. You and hubby are not abandoning your grandson, your SDr is by the choices she is making. You have to do what is best for you and what you can live with. Look down the road, if you were to take one or both kids do you have the finances to not only take care of them but also take care of yourselves when it's time to retire? Do you have the energy to raise a child and all that it entails? I know that states offer assistance for grandparents who become the foster parents. You may want to contact a family attorney who can assist you with the legalities involved. I know there are some on this site that have raised their grandchildren and it was the right choice for them. For myself, where I am in life I could not do it. It would be heartbreaking but I do not have the energy or resources to take on that responsibility. ((HUGS)) to you........... [/QUOTE]
