Ok few variables here. My children n I lost their father to suicide he left note blaming me. I was trying to seperate after 10 1\2 years of marriage because of control and abuse getting worse thru years. He was correctional officer working many hours forced overtime I was trying to help him but I was working hard job too than lost it child support specialist and stress got worse whole situation hard. I moved immediately after his death to hometown with our 3 daughters. Had I mmediate cps investigation had kids tajen and returned in 3 months. Had full time job for attorney however mental health kicked in ptsd I was drinking but when kids were at babysitters. I had phydical issues back problems and tailbone cut out. Just mess. Brother in law died sister schizophrenic ended up with 4 kids and sister. I remember having to explain to them that they couldn't commit suicide to see their daddies when I over heard them talking about trying to die just some hard sds shit as a parent but felt like and had no support. Or not enough in small rural town. My parents are terminally sick my deceased husbands parents are too old.
Long story short dated a convicted felon lived few houses down old family friend. Broke up with him and didn't go back to my house that night. Kids were with sitter for night. Ages 11, 10 and 5. The next day as I suspected might happen he was at my house. The babysitter didn't know let kids iff at my house I still wasn't home so g irls called my cell phone I came home with my guyfriend was scared as soin as I walked in ex started getting crazy so I had oldest daughter go call babysitter and get out o f house with sisters babysitter about 2 blocks away. Exboyfriend wouldn't leave things became physical he started ti break things so I called cops they came arressted him me for dui cuz still had alcohol in system from night before and called my kids back from babysitter, babysitter that picked them up brought them home and they w ere detsined by cps. The whole thing was just wrong on all parts my part and law enforcement. Anyways I lost it mentally physically emotionally spiritually. I tried to get kids back up hill battle. Lost income for house had lost job for back. Went to rehab few times but ultimately cps still wanted rights terminated because mental and alvoholoc and couldn't fet better fad t enough for reunification. Family friends stepped up correctional officers from had introduced me. N husband could not have kids if o wn. Adoptex 3. Native american boys already. Terminate my rights recomended by cps I say no but attorney talked me in to it for there stability the children. I worked my ass I ff to become better been in their lives as much as parents let me. They say kids a tee e mad at me but see them once a month they live 3 hours away. Adoptive parents are rude and mean ti me in front o f kids and they all blame me for suicide of husband it finally came to head and I stuck up for myself. Now they say I am mental and not see daughters anymore til their 18. They are now 14, 13, 8. Judge and I t hought tbey were trying to help not make it worse didn't have kids in counseling like I did no thin g anymore they don't understand mental illness and just jealous of our bond. Anyways don't I have some visitation rights for th ey have laws about being involved in kids life. My parents and exhusbands parents can see children but not me I don't get it. Can't I file sometb ing for visitation. Also bill signed by governor kids can hav e more than two parents now in ca. Help. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
 
Give it up, leave the children ALONE. They don't need you, as you're incapable of parenting. Read your story, you've laid it out completely, if not a bit incoherently.

Anyway, the kids are doing well, they'll be adults soon four through ten years, so why bother? It's an ego trip. You made choices, poor choices, you're reaping the idiocy of drug, alcohol, and sexual excesses.

Besdes, your legal wiggle room has expired. Time to move on, life forges ahead, no looking back.

Continue to TRY to fight your demons, work YOUR recovery, you're in no shape to parent anyway. But, that's a moot point because you have no legal legs left to stand upon.
 
OMG. If you care for the children one bit STFA. You are not guilty for your ex husbands choice. you are mentally as screwed up as he was though. Allow someone else to attempt to fix the damage you have done. Get sterilized if it remotely possible before you have any more kids.
 
OP, please consider further grief counseling.

Yes, I'm posting a URL, but the bulletin boards here saved my sanity (though some might question that!).

ywbb.org

For now you have to focus on you. You can't take care of anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself.

Now onto the other stuff.

1. There is no maximum number of children a person can adopt, but there ARE guidelines as to how many bedrooms and space a home must have if the parent goes through the state's foster care program. It's easy to get confused though.

2. I think you're misunderstanding CA's new bill. There is already confusion as to how and when the law should be applied but (and this looks like it will be the case) the following "what if" is apt:

Jenny and Julie are pregnant. John, an ex boyfriend of Jenny, is the biological father. Now, California allows two mothers, or two fathers, or one of each, to be listed on the birth certificate as parents. Everything is fine and dandy until Jenny breaks up with Julie and goes back to John.

Which again would be all fine and dandy...except that John wants to be named as a parent on the birth certificate. Houston, we have a problem! What to do? Well, both Jenny and Julie are legal parents to the child...but as the biological father, he has every right to file for paternity. So, in California's very special way, they enacted this law to enable both Jenny and Julie...AND John - to be legal parents. This is exactly what the law intends to address, and that's where - I suspect - case law will start trickling down.

And that's about as much brain power as I can handle tonight :D

If you're interested, the full text of the bill is here: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB274

So basically, bill doesn't help you at all.
