My name is Melony. I am married to Kevin. Kevin and his exwife Carrie had two children. When they were divorced,her rights were terminated and I legally adopted those children. They are now, Courtney 18 and Chase 16. Carrie had another child a boy named Waylon and is now 6 years old. Since the child was born, day one, he has been living with Carrie's Mother Sandy and Step Father Ken.Waylon has never lived with Carrie. Carrie has NEVER had a job. She also has NEVER had a home of her own and has done nothing but stay with other people for short periods of time, house hopping. Drinking and drugs were involved. Carrie signed a POA to her Mother Sandy for care of Waylon. Sandy is in dire medical distress and most likely will not make it much longer. She has asked that I take Waylon and raise him as I have with her other two Grandchildren. He is currently at my home.
What leg do I have to stand on to be able to take care of this child? It is my children's half brother. What do i need to do? What if the Carrie does fights this? Does the Grandparents have any rights since they have raised him since day one? Please help!!!!!
