We have been trying to get 4 of our grandchildren from foster care to bring them home. The rights of both parents were terminated and this is our last hope to bring them home before they put them up for adoption. Our grandchildren are everything; our hearts and soul and we love them dearly.
We hired a lawyer and he sent in the appeal form. DSS replied back that we would have to take DSS to court and get the case re-opened so we can have our chance to get custody of them.
We started remodeling our home because we wanted to better it for our grandchildren and my husband and I are on disability. He’s a diabetic and we both have had open heart surgery. Despite that our health is good we are able to take care of our grandchildren.
All we want is to have our 13 grandchildren together again. I sit here and cry everyday going through pictures and remembering the good times holidays. When birthdays come around I cry because they are not here. Our lives are not the same without them. Our world fell apart when they were taken from their mother.
On March 24, 2015 we went to court with the hopes the children would be reunited with their mom, instead due to her not having the income needed to support her and the children, and not completing the required classes, her parental rights were terminated. Because we thought DSS would be returning the children to their mother, we didn’t file to get custody.
That is when we stepped in. Now we don’t have the means of continuing to fight for them. Our lawyer said we only have a matter of days. I know this is sudden just putting this on here but our loan fell through and now we need help. We don’t ask anyone for help and we do what we can to survive. We don’t want to even do this but it’s our only hope. We live in South Carolina which doesn’t have a grand parent’s rights law. I feel it is unfair because I know my grandchildren; they want to come home where they belong. All we want is to bring them home with us. All we need is to get the funds for attorney. Please help if you can and thank you in advance.
