This must be very painful for you and I am sorry your family are going through this sad time.

As "shysal" says, keep things for her so that one day when she seeks out her roots there will be cards, pictures, letters to show her. It is all you can do now. Time to be strong for your son.

What a dreadful situation you are in! I wonder if you have prepared a book or box of memories which can go with your granddaughter? I hope that it will be possible to keep in touch in some way.
I am sorry, I can't offer much comfort, but send (((hugs))) and flowers for your whole family.
Keep coming on here to have a good rant or to get thoughts off your chest. I hope there will be others in the same position to converse with.

Hi I am new, feeling very neglected as part of a group of grandparents who will never know their grandchildren grow up as they are lost to adoption. I am sitting waiting to leave for my last contact today. I am going with my younger son, my sweet grandaughters uncle. My older son her father is going tomorrow with his Dad. Feeling peeved that social services have done it this way. My daughter can't come as they did not give us enough notice. She cannot take the day off.
We failed as guardians due to social services not liking us because in the beginning because we wanted answers they were not prepared to look for.
So today they will have succeeded in breaking my heart forever. I have no faith in what is to come. No promises have ever been kept and we have to hope that she will be loved by her new parents as much as we love her. We have to hope that we are not made to look like evil monsters who were not fit to look after her rather than fought tooth and nail and remortgaged to the hilt chasing the need to keep her, with a contact to her past. A contact that would allow her to see that the story she would have to be told was not true. As a result of all this I am not sure how much longer I will have her father before he does something silly.
If there is a section here for us unwanted grans .....
