- I am very fortunate to have realized my mother is a narcissist. Moving to another state expedited the realization. Also, very fortunate that my father (they're divorced) and my sisters' are now realizing it too. I felt alone and singled-out for...
- I posted this rant to United GrandFamilies on FB but am interested in other people's feedback. I'm going to rant a little. I am happy our dd appears to be doing better with her life. From what we've been told, she's working (because new babydaddy...
- Hi all, As you may know, we've begun the process of adopting our gd. I haven't heard anything regarding a home study from our lawyer but assume we will need one. I've been researching and attempting to get pricing. Wow, they're expensive. Does...
- Finally was able to get bio dad to meet with me last night. I told him about the adoption and he's in agreement! He gave me his address and is willing to sign whatever they send to him! I think I'm still in shock! I emailed our lawyer today. ...
- I'm planning on meeting with bio dad on Saturday, this is a big if because he usually agrees and then has an excuse why he did show or call. He's nuts. He posts crazy babble on Facebook, today's example...its buried deep within the past and i hope...
- Our daughter came for Thanksgiving and she actually brought up us adopting our granddaughter! We shall see if she changed her mind. I pray she doesn't. She had not seen our granddaughter (she's 4) for two years and visited in July. Daughter said she...
- So lately our gd has been calling us mom and dad. She switches between grammy / mom and papa / dad. She was doing this a lot before her mother visited (after a 2 year absence) in July, mom hasn't been back since. She was shy with her mother and...

- At the end of 2011, we went to our nephews funeral in Chicago. This was at the beginning of the end with our dd, she was left at home and gd went with us. Upon our return, I removed my wedding ring as I do each night and noticed two rings missing...
- As usual it started months ago when my mother asked my sisters and me to finance her trip from FL up to IL to visit, I do not live in IL but do live about 4 hours, by car, away. This is an annual thing, but the past few years, all of our finances...
- So my dd told us and gd she'd come back for a visit on gd's birthday. She's only visited her once in 2 years. Her birthday is this weekend, big surprise, she cannot make it! I am done with this crap. I'm telling her no more talk about visits. I...
- My dd is expressing interest in regaining custody of her dd. Weve had gd for her entire life, her parents moved in with us the day of her birth, and gd has been with us alone for the last 2 years and 2 months. Of which, dd only visited 2 times in...
- This is the most painful thing I've ever endured. My gd has warmed up to her mama after a couple days. Dd was set to depart today, had a friend drive her to the bus and she missed it and must stay another night. When dd left, gd cried and wanted...
- Trying really hard not to be anxious. Hoping after a 1 1/2-year absence she will realize that gd should stay in our home for a few more years before she even thinks about trying to take her back. DD moved out of state about 2-years ago and has not...
- With the following message...Just wanted to let you know that Kristi called me yesterday and I advised her that I could not answer any of her questions as it was a conflict of interest. I advised her that she had a right to hire her own attorney to...
