It is an unfortunate situation. No one is saying the kid would be better off in foster care, but this is a retirement neighborhood, and people came to it for peace and quiet. The grandparents knew what the rules were. They should of been more serious about moving before now.
And these are the same people foaming about how America isn't as much of a Christian nation as it should be. The thing about leaving a guy in a ditch on the Sabbath comes to mind here.
You said: Do you really think sending a 3 year old to a foster home is better than leaving her with the grandparents? I can’t believe we are talking about removing a child from the only family she has to satisfy HOA regs. This country’s soul is ill...

I am surprised to see this sort of statement on FR. This mother moved to the community prior to having a child, knowing (or being charged with the knowledge) that children were not allowed. She did not have to move there, but she did. THEN she decided to have a child (while apparently unmarried, her choice, her responsibility), prior to selling this home with the anti-child restrictions. I don’t think it is fair to blame the property owners who bought their property reasonably expecting not to have children living in the area. I don’t agree with their choice, but it was THERE choice to make.
