Hi,
My husband and I now have legal guardianship of our grandson whom we have been raising. Both parents have voluntarily agreed to terminate their parental rights to allow us to adopt him. Our grandson really wants us to adopt him and we are happy to do that. I am wondering if we need to adopt him since we have legal guardianship (my understanding is that the guardianship is the same as custody.) What is the difference or pros/cons? Our grandson has a fear that his mother will come and take him back like she has done over the years before we were awarded guardianship. The adoption would make that impossible... but will the guardianship do the same?
Thanks!
