Want To Raise This Child

[FLATOP]

What is the name of your state? AK.
A FRIEND OF MANY YEARS LIVING IN NY IS RAISING A GRANDSON 3 1/2 YRS OLD. MOTHER JUST DUMPED THE CHILD AT THEIR HOME. FATHER OF THE BOY LIVES THERE BUT HAS NO TIME TO RAISE HIM. GRANDPARENTS ARE ELDERLY AND NOT IN GOOD HEALTH. DURING THE WEEK THEY PAY SOMEONE TO KEEP THE BOY, NOT A GOOD SITUATION. FATHERS NAME IS NOT ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE BUT HE HAS BEEN TOLD A LETTER TO LAST KNOWN ADDRESS OF THE MOTHER IS ALL THATS NEEDED. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE OFFERED TO TAKE CUSTODY OF THIS LITTLE BOY AND GIVE HIM A GOOD SAFE LOVING HOME. WE DONT WANT ANY KNOCKS ON OUR DOOR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE PARENTS SO TO DISRUPT HIS LIFE AGAIN. FATHER IS WILLING TO GIVE THE CHILD UP.

WHERE DO WE START.
THANK YOU
