Okay my fiance and I are planning on taking physical custody of his daughter that he has full custody of in a couple weeks. We are pretty much taking her for our weekend then keeping her from then on. We have already enrolled her to finish her kindergarten year down here and what not.. I am just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this. We love her so much and we just found out earlier this year he has had full custody of her since May 2005. She is now living with my fiance's Dad and Stepmother where she has been for 5 years. They have done a good job raising her but they are so negative about him wanted to take her.
And me being in the "step-mother" position my first thought is to go get her right now.
Just let me know what you think of this.
It would be really nice to know if this will be damaging to the child or not.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
She has been there so long becasue his step mother has mentally bashed him so much he was scared to take her. Now he feels he has every right to her and she loves being with us.
We talked to our lawyer as well and he said this is something we should do?
I just figured I would get on here and ask some advice.
We are just afraid she will never let go of her. Or scare her into not coming with us.
Just be careful and make sure his daughter is happy with the choice. Her home is with her grandparents.
Please understand - not knocking you - honestly not looking for an answer to any question I asked but asked them for you to answer for yourself. A child fulltime is life changing GL in whatever you decide and I do hope it works out well for you and your and your future husband
We do have her best interest at heart.
My fiance has been SO scared of his step mother and she is very verbally abusive to him. We are afraid she will someday do the same to his daughter.
This is a hard decision I know. I am ready for the comitment I want to make her apart of our lives without all the unecessary drama?
you know what i mean
If you marry into this family you take the whole package.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts.
I will keep you updated!
I myself am in a similar situation....I have custody of my 2 year old grand daughter...she is my daughter's child....the father however has only ever paid us $200 in 2 years of child support....yes he is a lazy ass and does drugs...but I do NOT put him down to her....it's not right....she will find out when she is older how he really is....you can only sugar coat your character for so long...children grow up and will see it for themselves. I wish you all the best!
Thank you for the updated advice. Well we have had her for almost a year now and everything on our end is going great. She is truly happy with us.
The grandparents on the other hand... Well we found out she has been chocking her and putting "stuff" on untouchable areas. We are currently in the process of pressing charges on the step-grandmother.
For once my future step daughter feels safe... And i thank god i saved her...
Just figured I would update...
