Don't worry the grandmother can not sign my contract. The only people who can sign it are those who have custody of the child. I also will not have a contract signed unless I meet with the parents and child.

I am thinking about letting the grandmother sign a holding fee contract and pay the fee for a week or two, that states I can not sign on anyone until after I have meet with the mom and child, but I can still interview. And of cause the fee will be non-refundable and just to hold the spot.

is this a good or bad idea?
