A grandmother’s Opinion!

Should children have to grow old waiting for their parents to grow up?

My Grandson has bonded irrevocably with to me, and has never formed a bond with his mother.  He would be traumatized if removed from the only home he has ever known.  He has lived here with me since the moment of his birth.  Some people will argue that he is young and he will adjust.  I don’t believe that!  I believe it will be traumatic and devastating to him. 

To deny him or any other grandchild access to somebody that they have had an established bond is, I think, child abuse.  More focus should be more on what is right for the child, and the bonding that the child has received, and will never receive from the parent that has had no bond with the child. 

Why should a child live in limbo like: while giving the biological parent/parents time to get their act together?

As long as we sentence these babies to be tortured by an UN-healthy relationship with their parent/parent; Counselors, therapists and psychiatrists will always be in demand to help pick off the pieces of these broke, innocent lives. I guess its good job security for them, isn’t it?

At the very expense of our own children, our very own blood….

For a child to be so healthy in body, mind and spirit.  To be so well adjusted, to be bonded like glue with the people they live with, and then to have them live with an UN-healthy parent/parents; might as well throw them to the coyotes to fend for themselves.
