Okay Hallelujahmomma, you don't have a lot of wiggle room in this one, but you're going to have to try.

Now, the judge carried over the grandparent's rights from the termination order. Texas law states that an adoption decree doesn't affect a grandparent's rights to reasonable access to child. (In other words, grandparent's rights.) Your attorney probably didn't "specifically" ask that the grandparent's rights be terminated with the adoption. It wasn't asked for, so the judge didn't have a reason not to carry it over.

By what I've read so far, you'll need to find grounds to terminate the grandparent's right. Talk to your attorney about appealing the grandparent's visitation. Get the doctor's reports from the couseling the child's been getting. Explain to the doctor exactly what's going on and have them write up a report. If your attorney won't do it, hire another one. You have fundamental rights as the parent and you need to make sure they're not stepped on.

Do not have any contact with grandma any other time, since it's not ordered. Have the child "conveniently" busy or out if she calls. The order does say you have to agree on a weekend. Now, just think about that for a minute........

Still researching and thinking...
