    A sad day giving a wonderful child up to protect her

    Have you asked if they will let your sister in law care for her instead of foster care? Most of the time a judge will allow this if a family member is willing to care for the child.

    As stated on your other thread, to get the best advice possible, you need to give more info.

    But my sister inlaw does not live in the same state, so I would like to know how to turn custody over to her

    What is the situation? Why are your children being taken? etc...

    The more info you give, the better advice you will get.

    I told a doctor that I will report her for put my daughter's mediction in my name and she called acs and told them I'm take my daughter to the clinic too much and nothing is wrong with her.

    I don't understand. Did you ask your doctor to put the med in your name or your daughter's? Was the med for you or your daughter?

    How often to you take your daughter to the clinic and why?

    That does not make sense. Child Protective Services is taking your child away from you because you take her to the doctor too much? Please, all the story and not a bit or a piece here and there. Otherwise, whatever anyone may say, may not be the correct path for you to take.

    Shy, there is a disorder called Munchausen's By Proxy... When a mother takes her child to the doctor too often and there is nothing wrong, this is suspected. The child or children CAN be taken away if this is proven to be the case.

    the mediction was for my daughter, I did not understand what was taken place that day, so I respond the only wy I can think of. The doctor felt the need to put the medication in my name and refuse to tell me what was the medication for.

    Why did you take her to the doctor? How often do you take her?

    Do you want me to fax the court order over to you

    It makes no sense to anyone or to me, but I can fax the court order to you. My husband said the doctor did this to protect her

    My husband said the doctor did this to protect herself from any legal action.

    My daughter was born sick so that disease do not apply to me, and she has the same thing wrong just like at birth, and I only take my daughter when there is visible signs of her illness

    My daughter was sick at birth so this is not the case, I know that story when the mother willifully caused harm to the child. My case is far different from that, I have pictures and a paper trail from doctors

    Going out on a limb and making some wild guesses here:

    The pharmacist is trying to protect herself from prescription drug mishandling charges. Depending on what the drug is (narcotics, tranquilizers, etc.), having it put into someone else's name is a serious violation of several laws.

    Which leads to the corrollary: A mother who is taking a kid to the doctor and asking that the prescription be in the mother's name (not the kid's) is potentially a mother with a drug addiction.

    Just my thoughts from what I've read. Not having all the facts makes it a bit harder. The Munchausen's is just as likely a candidate.

    A comment on the original question: Have you talked to the sister-in-law about the situation? Hate to see you go through all the effort to transfer custody to her, only to have her say that she doesn't want to take in the kid.

    With Munchausens Disease By Proxy, the mother does not always have to willfully cause harm to the child. It is more usual that the mother just get attention. So she makes up symptoms, illnesses. There is not always harm done to the child.

    If you have pictures and a paper trail, you should not be worried, you apparently have proof.
