Permanent guardianship means that the parents can come back in the future and try to get her back......but they will have to go through the court and be able to prove that they can care for her and provide a stable home. I don't think that her Mother cares to ever do that......and Damon, sadly, will probably be in and out of jail so we don't see that it will ever happen. Also they'll have to have money to come up with a lawyer.

In order to adopt Karlie Dae Lynn would have to have them sign papers for that and I don't think that Damon would do that. And whether Damon has visitation is up to Dae Lynn. She actually has more control over Karlie than she will Dean. She will have to deal with visitation with Dean but with Damon not being able to drive it's likely, and our fingers are crossed, that it's something that Damon won't do much of. Time will tell.

We did find out that Damon will be spending a year in prison because of him having guns, which is a parole violation. The time that he is spending in jail is NOT going towards that time. He'll probably be in jail until May or so whenever all of his other court cases are finished. He doesn't have to go to court over his parole violations because that is decided by a parole board.
