I received paperwork regarding my daughter. I had signed over guardianship to my daughters grandmother and grandfather. They divorced and the grandfather signed over his guardianship to the grandmother. The paperwork is all about her past (after her injury). The paperwork about this case says she was placed in child services care (8-1-18), after a hearing 8-3-18 they decided child services was the most appropriate placement for her regarding her injury. She had a sustained a brain injury and suffers from blindness and mobility problems. She requires 24 hour care.
This is hearing is to find placement for my daughter. So now I have an issue of can I take care of her? My girlfriend is a quadriplegic and requires a lot of care. There's no way I can take care of both. If I cant take guardianship of my daughter and she goes into state custody what will happen? If I do take guardianship what will happen?
There are a lot of unknowns. I don't have money for a lawyer and am not sure what to do next or where they will place her. I think that tomorrow they will decide placement, unless I had a lawyer. My daughter doesn't know who I am, would it be better to be placed with someone who can take proper care of her needs or fight for her to be with me, who cannot provide proper care of her, unless I put her in a residential facility. I'm torn. I don't know her and she doesn't know me. Will that just confuse her more! I don't know what to do...
