I agree
I totally agree. I have had to deal with a situation like this. Luckily, The grandparnets did not go for grandparent visitation. They threatened it though. I am from Minnesota and I am not sure on what the laws for grandparent visitation are here. They never saw the kids when I was married to their father. Basically only Christmas or Maybe birthdays, and they only lived a few blocks away. After I seperated with my ex ( who was abusive) They never attempted contact even though they encouraged my ex to take the kids away. Well that didnt happen because he was abusive. His father was abusive to me also. He was very verbally abusive, not physically. When he found out about the Stepparent adoption it had been over 2 years with no contact with him or the kids bf. He was not happy and again told his son to fight it and wrote me a couple of nasty emails. Then the bf went into hiding assuming that would stop us from doing it. Well he was wrong. My lawyer tried calling his father but he just yelled at her basically stating he would not tell us where he was and we would not find him. So we proceeded without him. Well it is done now and I am sure he is not too happy. I feel that it should be the parents choice of who spends time with their child. I would not stop visitation if the grandparents were around and it was the best for the child. In fact I do still stay in contact with the bf's grandmother and I would allow her to see the kids anytime. She has always been there for them even though she lives out of state. I understand that some may abuse this with good grandparents and I am sorry about that but we need to protect our children from the ones who are not good. Good luck. I did sign that petition! Even though I don't live there. I would sign one here if there was one!
