What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Hello everyone I am new to this so I really hope someone can help me.
My Husband and I had this 4yr old child in our care for almost 6 months and different times after that she is not related to us in anyway.
her mother has alot of mental problems, she lost all rights to her first child addmitted to touching this one in all the wrong ways the courts made her take parenting classes and then gave her back to her.
I have seen the little girl last week end she had brusies that she said to me and others at different time and places's that her mom got mad and threw a plastic cow at her and hit her with it.
I have been to social services and was told that since the child was not related to me that she would have to go to foster home.
when she is with my husband and I she does not want to go home she hide and cries,she is afraid of her mother.
so my question is can my husband and I get custody of this child and if so how do we go about doing that. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HELP HER
