I apologize. I did not elaborate enough in the original question. My Grandson has been living with my wife and I since the day he was born. There were some circumstances with his mother and that is why he has been with us. My wife loves him dearly but for some reason she is no ready to adopt. I guess I just need someone to talk t.

Why would you want to adopt him? Are his parents not providing for him? Is he not eating properly, being bathed, taught how tou mature and grow? Is he being neglected?
Or do you just want to have him around more?
What is the reason for wanting to adopt him?

Clearly there is a lot of drama going on for you to want to adopt your son/daughter's spouse's child.
In any case, as a married man, you cannot adopt a child alone. You need to take your wife's opinion into consideration.
If the situation between your grandson and his parents is dangerous so that you are concerned about your grandson's safety, you can perhaps negotiate with your wife to seek temporary custody. That way, you can "test the waters" and see whether the both of you are really up to the challenge of adopting and raising him as your own. Good luck.

Goldens are many of the most comfortable creatures there are. I had one for 12 years. the issue may be better your cats than the canines yet i imagine they're going to usually circumvent the canines till they get curious. you could slowly introduce them to at least one yet another to ascertain what occurs. All animals are territorial and the cats will before each and everything no longer like the reality some thing else is invading their area. That even is authentic even as a sparkling toddler is born and many human beings ought to provide up their cats therefore. i imagine you'd be fantastic in spite of the indisputable fact that. The worst which will ensue is they wont get alongside and they're going to circumvent one yet another if there's a wrestle episode.

My parents adore my sons, but they are wise enough to realize that age prevents them from even considering adopting them or taking care of them if something were to happen to my husband and me. You seem to be thinking very selfishly here. It is great they you two have a wonderful relationship, but unless the child is in danger or being neglected by his parents (step-parent accepted here), then back off. Enjoy the time you have with the boy. Appreciate and love him, but do not take a child from his parents just because you feel it is best for you. It isn't fair to him or his parents or you. I don't blame your wife for being unenthusiastic.

is this not her blood grandchild? I hope that you can work this out it sounds like a great idea. Why is this child in this situation? Remember that your an older couple will your time come soon and is that healthily for the child to possible have another new family soon? If your younger like my parents 40ish or so go for it I would expect that is something happened to me or i was unable to provide for my children my mother and step father especially my step father would step in and do what was bet for my kids.

Well you are definitly going to need your wife's help in this and his parents permission. If they agree to sign the papers it will go smoothly however, if you fee they are not good with him you have to contact the Department of Family and Children in your area and be prepared for a long drawn out event and for the child to most likely be placed in foster care while you go through it.

i am sorry to say that your wife is wiser then you.you must be an old man and your grandson is still too small.just think of his future... means if some thing happens to you in your old age, who will look after and take care of a small kid. only your love can not give a kid a bright future.let him live with his parents and see him growing in front of you.

Why do you need to adopt him? Can't you just be happy that he's a part of your life???? Hmm...your story sounds a tad bit suspicious!
