I am also going to ask my pdoc;t;and MD to write up a letter in support of the petition- it will give the GAL a taste of what the 'expert opinions' are- they all support me in getting him back and have no reservations. Thanks to all for the info and concern.  |
Just don't give up. One day he will thank you for this. If your sister won't speak to you, try sending her a letter. She might be afraid that she will never see your son again. (my bf has went threw something similar) She could need some reasurance. I would tell her that it's not your plan to just keep your son out of her life.
There might be legal aid in your area. Have you tried that?
Anyways sooner or later everything will work out. I know it's hard. Do your best to stay positive about it.
