We are being sued by our childrens bio grandfather and his wife.

When our daughter was first placed with us as a foster child her biograndfather and his wife were comming to our home for visits. DCYF arranged that they have her for a day visit. The day of the visit their was a snow storm. I said the roads ect would be icey and suggested they change the day. They insisted on comming.

They had pulled up beside my van and the passenger side was in the yard. The grandmother had fallen as she stepped into the passenger side. She is extreamly morbily obese. The could not stand up and an ambluance had to come.

A year later they choose to sue us. Their claim was denied and they were given the standard five grand. They are now suing us. Our insurance company only covers $500,000 and sugested we obtain our own lawyer because they my be suing for more that is covered.

I am wondering if DCYF is responsible for some of the liablity. They put us at this risk by aranging the visits.

My husband recently found out he has two older siblings that his mother placed for adoption 40+ years ago. He has reunited with his sister. It's great. They have been looking for the oldest brother and just found him. That hasn't gone as well. He has some problems and run ins with the law. My sil is very disapointed and I would like to write her a note or e-mail expressing my condolences that it wasn't as she had hoped.

If anyone has any suggestions to make her feel better I would really appreciate it. Thanks

So I was just e-mailed about a contest NBC is having for moms and was wondering what other people think of them describing adoptive moms as non mom moms.

It defines a "non mom mom" as "Grandparent, stepmom, or mom to adopted children, each one raising and loving a child. A priceless gift for everybody."

In checking out their web site I was not impressed with the little blurbs they wrote under the adoptive moms. Mostly the refrence to one persons children as "meth babies"

Should a 3 year old girl in foster care that will be adopted stay with her current foster family of a year or move to be adopted into the same family as her half sister?

Witch would be better for her staying where she has formed an attachment or

moving to be raised with a biological sister?

I am wondering peoples opinion (expecialy adoptees)on what would be the best in the long run for a 3 year old girl.

Should she stay where she is now because of the attachment she has built or should she move so she can be raised with her younger sister?

She is in foster care right now. I'll call her Ann. She has been with the same foster parents for the last year. Her father "Bob" is my youngest daughters ffather also. He is now married to my daughters fmom. Whom is my other two childrens mom too.

After Ann was placed in care we inquired about having her placed with us so she would be with her sister once she was born. Bob had later requested for her to move in with us because of the problems with the other foster home and wanting the girls to be together. DCYF said they would leave her where she was because it was easier for them at the time. We went along with DCYF. Now Bob has called me up tonight and asked if we would still adopt Ann.

My brother in law sent my husband this message.

If you could translate it or some of the words that would be great.

Do you know of any Swiss German to English dictionary web sites?

Here it is......

Ech chome garm eis go zie, sag mer wenn ond wo.

He is 6 and not my husbands child.

I pick him up at school every day a watch him until 6 and all day in the summer.

I also watched him for 3years when he was a baby. I stoped for 2 years in between

If you adopt a baby from another county and they already have a name is it okay to change it?

If they already have a religion is it ok to raise them in yours instead?

If they are accustume to certine foods should you contine to feed them only that food?

I am starting lifebooks/scrapbooks for my children. I am wondering if any one has any sugestions on things I should ask their bio-relitives to include in there scrapbooks or to have for them one day. thanks
