Can you get some kind of mediation going to try to smooth things out between you and the father? If you had a basis of communication and trust perhaps he would be more willing to allow visits. Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. Check the message forum here for ideas from others: <a href="http://forum.fightcps.com" rel="nofollow">http://forum.fightcps.com</a>.

CPS took them away from their mother (My daughter) and severed her parental rights. They were five and six years old at the time. The children were well fed and clean and never even spanked. The place was messy but that is no sin. Becky did have a problem with drugs. The children were in foster care for a year with a nice couple. They invited me to go with them to different functions, etc. They gave a glowing report about me and how the children loved me and were always happy to see me. CPS seemed to O.K. the situation.Then out of the blue my daughter named the father of the little girl (Not the boy). She had called him when the little girl was born but he refused to admit she was his. He never showed any interest in her. Then my daughter or CPS (I'm not sure), had him take a paternity test. It was shown that he was the father of the little girl. My daughter said this man was a bad alcoholic and was always drunk when SE saw him. He is 46 years old and has never been married or had any other children. He always called escort services for companionship (Or more).Anyway , they gave him the children and said their blood family is not their family anymore. I had been with the children even at their . All of the toys I bought the children he sold. He filed a harassment charge against me at the advice of CPS and it was full of lies. I took him to court to refute these charges but it didn't do any good even though I offered t take a polygraph test prove the allegations weren't true. I feel so helpless. He mentions in the harassment charges that they were always upset when I visited them. I have many photographs that refutes that statement. They are always Happy and smiling. They would run and hug me when they saw me. What can I do? I cry every day. Two more children have just been murdered by their father who CPS gave custody to even though he was a bad alcoholic. This man that has my grandchildren is also a very bad alcoholic. I think he is hiding many things and that is why he does not want the family to see them.

Can someone give me some advice as to what to do?
