That will be on a report, and if a custody battle ever comes up...I hope S's lawyer will just tell her to FORGET IT.

Like some biological parents - she might get visitation later on if she gets a certain amount of court-ordered psychiatric help...but I seriously wonder if she is beyond that. She might be, and that is sad.

She was probably a happy little 3-year-old once...what the heck happened between then and now?

I'm not on her side or anything...ya gotta wonder sometimes how people get SO unhappy....

Sure am glad Nathan is with you!
All I know is that she has been in and out of foster care since she was 4 years old. Her mother was a druggie and couldn't keep a job. As I have mentioned in the other thread we have talked to her dad before (her adopted dad) and he told us that they fostered her several times and she kept going back to her mom. He said she was always mean and lied about everything but he just thought it was because of the instability in her life. He finally decided to adopt her when she was 8 because he thought if he gave her a loving, stable environment she would change. Obviously that didn't happen and he said that adopting her was the worst mistake he has ever made in his life.

About the psychiatric help-she told mom once that she was never going to change-not for Charles and not for Nathan.

Oh, and there's something else I forgot to mention...about a week ago mom saw her in the grocery store with another guy and his baby (we know the baby was his because he looked about Nathan's age and they were black) The guy had his arm around her and she was saying "What kind of juice does mamma's baby want?" I feel really sorry for that kid. Because of Stephanie Nathan has severe emotional issues (he won't go to sleep unless we are holding him, I guess so he can make sure that we'll still be there when he wakes) I wonder what she's going to do to that baby and I hope that guy she was with wakes up and realizes how she is before it's too late.

I just can't wait until this is all over and Charles has full custody and Stephanie is out of our lives. (Hopefully someday she'll be out of our lives, she's like a flea, preventable if your careful but once she's there, hard to make her go away.)



On another note we got Nathan a blow-up Spiderman chair. (Just hope it lasts, especially with the cats around here.)
