Our son surrendered his rights allowing the stepfather to adopt our grandchild. We visited regularly 4years before the adoption and 3 years after the adoption. On her 7th birthday, her mother and adoptive father stopped. We filed for grandparent rights in Nov, 2009. In April 2010 they appealed the denial of their motion to dismiss. On February 3, 2011, the GaCourt of Appeals reversed. We are seeking reconsideration and then certiori to the Ga Supreme Court. The time of this process needs to be expedited and we are seeking assistance, including amicus briefs. The time is short and the need is urgent. PLEASE HELP
Robert, I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is heart breaking to lose visitation with our grandchildren. I am not a lawyer so I can’t give you legal advice but I do have some numbers for you. Never give up trying to see your grandchildren. I am sure that they are missing you to. The links below are to some places you may get help. Please let me know how this turns out for you.

Same heartbreaking issues in Canada too. Only 5 provinces have grandparent rights and you still have to battle it out in court.
