First do not take anything I say as an offense. I do not know your whole situation or you personally but please take what I say into consideration. I was raised for a long time in WA and do know some of there laws. I was 9 when I moved into my grandparents home for "temporary" time being. Turned out I was happier being there. At the age of 10 I made the decision that I didn't want to go back. My grandparents were poor but still fought for me and my brother. It was a long battle and the judge took into consideration of what I wanted cause at the time a 12 year old was allowed to state where they wanted to be. I was also 14 before I admitted to anyone including my grandmother that I was sexually abused. The judges in Washington take in serious consideration what the minor wants. They have no issues in placing a child with grandparents instead of the actual parent. Dawn (my birth mother) did fight it in the beginning not believing that that was what I truly wanted. She believed I had been brain washed and that I wasn't allowed contact with her. I did tell her to stay out of my life and it was my choice and my strength that decided that. Maybe sending her up there really did affect her. Maybe she felt because you sent her away and not any of your other children that it was you saying wasn't good enough. Like I said I do not know your whole situation but please consider the possibility this is what she truly wants. And that wa laws are made for the child and that your parents have a really good chance at winning this becai you aren't even in the same state and your parents have been the active guardians for 3 years. I pray what is best for you and your family works out. |
