    Need Help-Surrendered Dog

    Are the dogs up for adoption? Can't you get someone to go "adopt" them back for you than turn them over to you? I know the Humane Society here isn't as investigative as they should be, they really only take the adopting persons word for things. Sorry I can't be of much help

    Can a person give up their rights and not pay child support?

    Anyway GIJane, this is just my opinion. Please do not give up on your child. You may not think so but she needs you. She is acting out for a reason. If there is anything you can do, do it if you haven't already. Keep a journal. Maybe someday you will be able to show it to her and she will...
