My mother told me that when I have a baby, that I needed to name HER guardian of my baby, just because of the fact that I was in foster care, and that if I don't, the state will step in. Is this even true? Because she lost my brother to state care, and had to give up her rights to him. My grandfather lost me to state care. I don't think that is right that I have to name her guardian to MY child.
No, honey... that isn't true. Wait to have children until you are ready... financially, spiritually, emotionally and with the right man. The man that you KNOW is the one. And consider parenting classes... it sounds like you haven't had the right kind yourself so you need some leadership.
Good luck, ~jada~
actually its more like my mother tends to like to run my life =_= even tho im 21 years old, and moved out. i dont think she liked that. and im happily married while she's unhappily divorced
Your mother is lying to you. When you have a child, you are automatically the legal guardian of that child. Your mother has no legal rights over the child what so ever.
The only reason the state would step in is if you were deemed an unfit mother, and in order for that to happen you'd have to be investigated.
No - that's not true - she has no legal authority on your child - that is your responsibility completely.
thats not true am 16 and have a baby and the only to ppl that have rights over that baby is me and my bf
so then, she was lying to me. figures.
