Product Description
Product Description
If your adult child becomes incapacitated or dies, you do not automatically gain custody of your grandchildren. Sometimes, depending on the age of the children and whether or not they are adoptable will determine who gets custody. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal bonus monies are given to states each year when they exceed the number of adoptions from the previous year. Your grandchild may be needed to help reach the numbers necessary for your state to receive its bonus.

Kinship Care, the Best First Option,
By
This review is from: Remember Cynthia Rose: Grandparents Fight to Keep Their Grandchildren (Paperback)
Because of Jeanne Sinclair-Krause's book "Remember Cynthia Rose" Cynthia Rose will know that her family loved her and fought for her. Many children will never know that anyone in their birth family cared. The great problems of the world are horrific, but they should not distract us from the personal dramas that leave dying families and wounded children. It is terrible when a family loses an adult member. It is criminal if a good, loving family loses the right and responsibility to care for the children of that adult. Often the cohesion of the core family doesn't survive the multiple loss. Social service agencies and community leaders will eventually understand what has happened and have to answer for the loss this child and her family have endured. As states are awarded funds for proper adoptions they should be fined for improper ones. Read this cautionary story and add your voice to the choir by talking to others about this problem and contacting your legislature for changes. I anxiously watch for more to come from this social detective.

Simply amazing,
By Jeanne Sinclair Krause "Jeanne Sinclair Krause" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Remember Cynthia Rose: Grandparents Fight to Keep Their Grandchildren (Paperback)
I am simply amazed that this little book has been a tool for so many people. I am told that it has reached the eyes and ears of local, state and federal government agencies, and consequently laws are being changed as we speak.I am grateful that since I wrote this book, it is still holding the #3 spot in its category on Amazon.com as of this date, 10/30/2007. This tells me the movement for the subjects of this book is still gaining momentum, and that is what the book was written for. In one review, Charlotte Hardwick, a brilliant author who wrote "Winning Your Child Custody War," called me a social detective. I am indebted to you Charlotte for showing me where my strengths are--strengths I did not realize I had. Be sure to look for other titles by this gifted author as she cuts to the chase and tells it like it is. I did not suffer the traumas of the people I wrote about, but as I listened to their stories I cried right along with them at times. I realized they needed a voice; needed to be heard. "Remember Cynthia Rose" has helped give them that voice. They are making tremendous strides in their movement, and grandparents are becoming a force to be reckoned with. I will tell you that I do indeed intend to write the rest of the books in the series, but for now, because the first one was so emotionally and mentally exhausting, I need a break. Please stay tuned.
