My cousin had called me a couple weeks ago and informed me that her dad and his girlfriend had a baby, she states that the mother has agreed to let us raise her, but I’m not kin to the father or the mother,the baby is currently in CPS custody due to being born with drugs in her system, I would like to know if my family has a chance of getting this baby? CPS now states we’re not a canidate because we’re not actually “blood related”. We have no criminal or CPS background in the past
If the parents did not leave the child with you before the child was taken into CPS custody, you may not have a good chance of getting the child. CPS is going to look for relatives first. Then they would likely look at the foster care families in the area. You may ask CPS if you would have a chance if you went through their foster care training.
