Re: adoption/grandparent visition
you can file a petition for partial custody and may have it granted (probably like every other weekend or something like that). If you are interested in pursuing, please contact me!
Re: adoption/grandparent visition
Grandparents have a statutory right to visitation with their grandchildren. The question is are you the mother of the father or the mother of the child
because the adoption terminates the father's parental rights, in this instance. If the father is your son was your status as grandparent also terminated. I would have to research that question.
Of course, if your grandchild's mother is your daughter this issue does not exist.
Call me if you like.
