I am the maternal grandmother of a 6 yr old granddaughter that I raised for 3 years but was uable financially to adopt her. This occurred in Arizona and I've researched the laws. It appears that ARS 25-111 aloows visitation to someone who has been "in loco parentis" for a significant time with the child. I know my birth rights as grandmother are a moot point since the adoption but this law leaves room for me to still have contact with my granddaughter. I'd appreciate any feedback.

My husband was adopted at 3 months of age and never wanted to know who his birth parents were, that is until we adopted his grand son at 20 months of age. Now he wants to know who his birth parents are and if he has any siblings. David is now 10 yoa. He has been a joy and a gift from God to us. At the time of the adoption, both birth parents signed signed away all rights to David (Our adopted son). My husband's ex-wife tried to get David for herself and her husband and the judge decided against it, but did give her Federal Grandparent rights. She gets him the second weekend of each month, two weeks in the summer, and evening of Christmas Day until New years Day, since this was ordered she has shortening some of the times. Please check into this, a lawyer can give you advice on this and it can be put into the adoption papers as hers was and this shows that it is court ordered and cannot be revoked. You will get some time with the child through the Grand Parents rights and still get to see the child. She requested her times and was granted them. If you need to talk please feel free to email me. Good Luck and God Bless.
