Re: grandparent rights

Grandparents have rights. Repeat, Grandparents have rights. The courts always act in the best interests of the child. Just because you don't speak to the parents, should not deprive the grandchildren of the attachement which they have with you. Grandparents provide to the grandchild, something which the parents can't. Wisdom, experience, knowledge, and only the warmth and friendship which a grandparent can.

If you should need to speak to me further, please feel free to contact me.
