What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
I currently have a child by a man that also has another child that I have a bond with and I have an okay relationship with the child's mother. The guy and I are no longer together and his child by the other lady is about to be taken by the state. They asked me last night can I take the child so she is not placed in foster care. My question if I do that do I suppose to adopt the child so I become the custodial parent or is this just like helping someone out? I am confused in this area please help!
