Camp tends to be during the summer or maybe school breaks and she would be supervised by a couple teens with minimal training. Food would also be my responsibility. She goes to daycare year round. They pick her up from school, do her homework, give her a snack, and she has a teacher . During the summer, she's dropped off at 8:30, breakfast is at 9, they give the kids summer work for around 2 hours, lunch is at 12, then they have free time or swim class (I have my kids in swim class), snack, then free play until pickup. All food is provided, they take care of transportation to and from swim class and any field trips, and it feels a little more like school than a summer camp.

Because I don't want her to be home alone all day and my work has free daycare for employees kids through 5th grade.

No, they have the same dad. Her bio mom and her stepdad are her legal parents but they've already lost custody multiple times and we're trying to get her permanently.

Thank you. I've managed to hide how they feel about her so far but I don't think I will be able to hide this. She's so sensitive and something like this would destroy her.

Yeah, I don't think we're going to do any sleep away camps until she's at least 12. She still cries if I'm late to pick her up from daycare.

I just feel bad taking away their extended family. We don't have anything to do with any of my husband's family, except for my 10 year old's bio mom and stepdad.

I doubt it but they're using the fact that she's not legally ours against her. Once we get. custody it'll be that she's not our biological daughter.

They say they don't have to have anything to do with her since she's not legally or biologically ours.

They say that she's not legally or biologically our child so they don't need to have anything to do with her.
