A place I wished I knew about many years back. I am not allowed to see my only grandson. He is the only grandchild I have he will be 15 yrs old soon. Do I have any rights to my grandson?

More activity in this area is needed. There are so many grand parents who love their grand children, as if they were their own birthed child.
