I think it all depends on whether or not the parent with visitation rights has made any efforts on improving his or herself. Whether it's getting a better job in order to provide for the child. If the parent is emotionally and physically capable of raising a child. The courts always want to give the birth parents the opportunity to raise their own children if and only if they qualify as good parents. Stability in the home, no drug or alcohol abuse, or physical abuse, no mental health problems, etc. I have known grandparents who have adopted their grandchildren. It does happen, but it is somewhat difficult when the birth parents are holding you back. I say, don't give up. You stepped up to the plate when his own parents didn't. You are his parents if you ask me. Just make sure that your "child" doesn't pick up on your stress from all of this. I don't know how old he is, but some children might sense your stress and think it is his fault. Good luck.
