What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? missouri
i have a child who was placed in state custody because i was found unable to care for her special needs. this was a year and a half ago. im still working toward getting her back but had problems with my social worker so i moved two hours away and got a new social worker. now i just had a perfectly healthy baby two days ago in my hometown so family could be present and my old social worker showed up the next day and removed her because my disabled child is still in custody in their jurisdiction and she said she had concerns i wouldnt be able to care for my newborn. i have always babysat and cared for other peoples kids as a source of income and it was never a concern to her or the court before. it was only found in court im not able to care for a disabled child not a normal child. my new social worker had no intent on taking the baby but my old social worker put her foot in the door. now i gotta drive 2 hours away to go to court and shes not even my social worker anymore and again i dont even live anywhere close to her county. is there a chance i can get her back at court? i havent harmed the child or done anything to put her in danger, i was still in the hospital with the baby when she was removed, and it specifically says on the court report that she was removed because i have a disabled child that is in care. i dont have a lawyer cause its the weekend and nothing is open. i have court monday december 3rd and really need answers now!
