And what are the alternatives if you don't get them? The social work have reported the case to them as they don't want them going back to the mother,they have no legal right to take child off the mother only the police do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire-SFC Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can’t believe my wee girl is now 2 and a half, next month she has her very first dance show. Can’t believe she’s gone from a wee baby in my arms, to kicking a ball better than me and skinning me, and doing her first ever dance show.One proud as hell father here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Ach I served on the children's panel for a while. It's all very compassionately done. I hope it goes well for you sir and I'm sure it will. They err on the side of stability and family. All the best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the way we’re trained is to keep the wean with the mother wherever possible. If that isn’t then it’s a responsible family member who is willing and capable. It sounds daunting, but it’s a panel of three laypersons who are compassionate and want what’s best for the child. It seems like that’s already in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best with it to you and your wife Keith, I know people in the same boat and it’s not an easy situation. Grandparents seem to be far more important in this day and age, to what they used to be. Have a great Christmas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 We have the final (hopefully, please..) Court date for getting full adoption of our little rascal. It's a hellishly long process (3 years if you include the whole adoption meetings etc) but I understand that it has to be thorough process. Hopefully early January brings the best present. The various children's panel/LAC reviews have always been fair and professional. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been placed with us for pretty much two of the three years so that helped. I'm just annoyed that we got a posh bottle of champagne for our wedding and we agreed to keep it until the final court decision.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
