Hey, thanks for your reply...
I went and talked to Lucy's dad. He's in prison for at least the next 18 mo. His history shows he is BAD news- violence, drugs, etc. He says he is doing better and he plans to get out and raise his own children. I have my doubts on that being best for the kids. I tried to convince him to give me full guardianship, but he refuses. He says he is willing for me to have temporary custody, but not for me to have the kids forever. I told him he can still see them but still, no dice.
My mom's lawyer says that since he isn't willing to give me custody, we are going to need to go through the courts for temporary custody and then when lucy's biodad gets out, i'll have to fight him again for custody. Do I have any other options? What do y'all think is the best step?
Also, Lucy is about to turn 3. She knows she is coming to live with me, but that's about it. The other two are staying with my mom for now, but we know that eventually they will have to come live with me too. I call her "my little girl" and she likes that.
Anyway, any thoughts?
