Can my sons mother in law have our grand daughter adopted

My grand daughter is one x

It's all a discussion that we can't really have because we don't know any of the facts. 

If she was married and her husband died and she is low income, she should be able to collect social security. 

They can sue you for not paying taxes in my home state, which might mean you need to sell the house to pay it, but maybe not. 

She can't just give away her grand daughter.  Your would be able to sign over parental rights, but not your son's so you can stop worrying about that aspect of it all! 

There isn't much you can do from the UK. If she gets kicked out your dil will have to contact someone in her local area. There might be a wealth of resources that only local people would know.  Churches, volunteer agencies. 

But this seems like someone being annoying in time for the holidays.

Just a few links hun! Lemme know if theres anything else I can look into for ya

And a lifetime ago (left in 1981) I lived near Cedar Lake. First in Hammond, then in DeMotte, in Jasper County just to the south.

I worked in Lake County as a planner.

Yep, Cedar Lake is a bit - shall we say - behind the rest of the world? Pretty solidly redneck when I was there, and I doubt much has changed.

Since the child is British, it seems to me if the mother felt she might lose her to strangers, I don't see why she wouldn't send the child over to her father while the two of them sort out the visa for your DiL...

Many thanks I am trying to put my daughter in law in touch with you but she is having trouble registring because her tablet won't let her put the @ sign in for some reason we are working on it though.

Lol vadio it is a small world yeah my daughter in law says they are behind the times and with the rest of the world lol x

Omphaloskepsis  You are right they could send her over here but how would she be able to travel on her own and they won't let my daughter in law bring her because she woud be denied access into the country I imagine.

Love pads x

Someone could pick her up.  Someone could meet the mother at the gate.  They could meet in another EU country.  All of this would add expense, but it would probably be a lot cheaper than fighting anything that the child's grandmother would attempt to pull. Not that she would have the right to do anything unless she reported the mother as an unfit parent.  In that case, your son would probably have to travel to the US anyway.

Has your son explored the EU route to bring your DiL over?

Hi I'm pads DIL lol the problem with finding assisted housing in my area is that unfortunately they only pay a portion of your rent and seeing as I don't have a job that's not a possibility for me, I've ben to the section 8 housing office there is also over a years waiting list for then as well so and any type of wellfare assistance that's available in my area I currently already receive there's unfortunately nothing in the way of assistance in Lake County believe you me, I've spent many a days on the phone for HOURS trying to find shelters and there's only domestic abuse ones and they only allow you to stay temporarily for one month maximum which I'd obviously just be back in this situation again in a months time which I'd really rather not have to worry about this again if possible

Hi Fizzy, it's really good to see you here!  I assume Pads has told you most of the suggestions that have been made on the forum.  What do you think would be the best option for you right now?  Are you willing to try either sending your daughter to live with her dad for a while while you sort stuff out, or else both of you going to another EU country until you can get into the UK?  I know both of those things sound kind of extreme, but desperate times do call for desperate measures.  If your mom really is going to kick you out after the New Year, and you've got no place to go, then you may have to start thinking about some more drastic options. 

Well I'd really rather not be apart from my daughter seeing as I've been here for her 24/7 since the day she was born and she cries if I leave the room for a second she doesn't know any of her UK family and moving her from the environment that she's comfortable to her meaning anyplace as long as I'm there, can prove quite tramatizing for a baby. And as far as the EU option, unfortunately I'm in the National Passport Database system as red-flagged from being denied entry clearance into the UK the last time that I tried going to England and also a refusal from the visa immigration services a couple weeks ago so unfortunately they'll see that once they scan my passport no matter what country I attempt to go too have already discussed this option with my husband and he has researchex it's illegal to attempt to go to the UK via another country

Also, unfortunately, even if those were options, we don't have the money to do either 

Being denied entrance to the UK does not mean you cannot travel to other countries such as those in continental Europe or the Republic of Ireland.

I didn't mean just stopping in to another country on the way to the UK, you're right that that's not an option.  However, it may be possible to move you to the UK under EU laws if you and your husband live together for a time in another EU country where he's exercising his EU treaty rights.
