Hi,
I asked about supervised visitation and the lawyer I spoke to snarkily replied, "Did your sister have to be supervised before she was left alone to parent the child?" I didn't appreciate that.

I do appreciate your advice. What kind of agencies could advocate for her? What do you mean advocate?

My niece does not talk at all. She communicates through sign (she's not deaf or have any other disabilities, she just doesn't want to talk...that's what the expert said anyway) She does very well with her signing, but she uses sign approximation...what kinds of things should we be teaching her to protect herself? She knows how to sign "help" and uses it appropriately. Is there anything else?
