Background into this question is this.............i have adopted my stepdaughter........Her birth mother died when she was 25 mos old and I entered the picture when she was 3 3/4 yrs old. My husband and her mother were married and after the funeral the contact between the mothers family was sparse --cards b-day gift x-mas gift ect but twindled more as time went by. One aunt came to visit when my daughter when she was a little over three but was upset by the fact that my husband had a live in girl friend (not me at athe time) and after that no one has ever visited again. My daughter is now 7 yrs old and my husband and I have been together since 2000 and married in late 2001. We moved to HI in Mid 2002. Mid 2001 was the last that any of them had spoke to her by phone and to my knowledge these phone contacts were sparse maybe 3x a year. The aunt has know wrote me stating that the want visitation to my daughter --- this is very disturbing to me since she has no recollection of these people. Do the aunts of the birth mother have any rights to visitation?? How about the grandmother??
