What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KY
My sister recently had a child that she left at the hospital under the Safe Haven law; upon finding this out my mother inquired about getting the child and the social worker told her that there would be a hearing the following day but the only individuals that needed to be there were the parents of the infant so she didnt show up. My mother followed up with the individual a few days later and he is advising her to retain an attorney. We need to know what our options are as far as getting custody of the child and what avenues should we pursue to do this. We really don't have the money to hire an attorney but are willing to do whatever is necessary to get the child and keep him out of foster care. I or my mother would like to get the child but don't know what to do as I live in Hawaii and she lives in KY; which is also where this case takes place. Any advice?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
