I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter, but so pleased she gave you a little grandchild. This is very strange...because we have been talking about this this morning. Was your daughter married? If she wasn’t, then apparently your grandson’s father has no rights over his child, he has to apply for adoption! We were staggered at this, but we know because our daughter isn’t married to her childrens father. His father has been researching what would happen if our daughter died,what rights his son would have, and it seems very little, even over his own child. It might be worth you contacting Citizens Advice. Obviously, I’m not sure about this, or how thorough the research was, but it’s at least something positive you can do.?
