I have been around a couple years now but read rather then post but I felt the need to respond to this post.

ATXMOM...have you met this grandmother that has now gotten custody of the baby or are you getting this information from what sounds to be an emotional foster parent that had gotten her hopes up to adopt the baby?

I seriously doubt that the state would turn an infant with needs over to a grandparent that was totally incapable of caring for herself let alone caring for a baby. Grandma must really love this baby to take on her care at her age but it can be done.

Often emotions in these situations obscure the actual picture and if we are not there we may hear what others want us to hear. In this situation the foster mother is not in the home of the grandmother and really has no idea if the grandmother can handle it...the fm just knows her own heart has been torn out.
