you get an email from your sister in law that is ment for your husband.
your husband has some health problems, so taking the child is almost impossible. but the car may be do able

Happy Birthday, Little Brother. I know that it has been a long time since I wrote or spoke with you but I just found your email address and thought I would dash off a quick note to you. I'm sorry that we have not communicated in so long. All I can say is that the past two years have been hell. Sad smile Between court and CPS and Red's and my health problems, I have trouble remembering to take my meds in the morning and evening, much less remembering to contact family and friends. Embarrased smile

I don't know if anyone has told you, but we had Robbie taken away from us by CPS two years ago. Since then we have been court-ordered to attend all kinds of classes and do all sorts of things. The problem is that we have not had a reliable car in most of that time, so it has be difficult (if not downright impossible) to do what they are requiring. As a result, it looks like we are not going to get him back. Even worse, they have petitioned to terminate our parental rights. We go to court over that in December. We have asked Edith to apply to adopt him, but that means that EVERYONE that lives on their property has to pass a full background check, including Mom. Now, please understand that this is hard for me to do, Dan, but I wanted to ask a MAJOR favor of you. If they do not pass the requirements, would you and Tammy be willing to step forward and adopt Robbie. I wouldn't ask this of you, but I don't want to lose my son forever. At least if you took him in, he would be in the family and would receive the care and support he so desperately needs. Before you answer, I need to tell you that he has a condition called Asperger's Syndrome, which is similar to autism but not as severe. It means that he has trouble socializing with others, particularly other kids, in that he prefers to either play alone or to direct the play completely. It also means that he will sometimes become so focused on what he is doing that he sometimes lets his imagination impinge upon real life. He needs constant redirection when this happens and lots of support and structure. I know that this is asking a lot, but Robbie is the most important thing in our lives. He gives us meaning and purpose and a unique way of looking at the world. Please at least think about this and let me know one way or the other. Thank you so much.

There is a history of problems, between your husband & your sister in law. & MAJOR problems with the brother in law also involved in this.
What would you do? Help out? we do have a vehicle we can GIFT them.
