My husbands mother is pregnant and isn't taking care of herself. She's not eating or gaining weight. We have reason to believe she doesn't want her child and my husband and I would love to care for him, but we do not know how to go about that. We don't necessarily have the money to be spending on lawyers and everything of that nature, so is there anyway we can just take care of the baby if she doesn't want him?
Of course, you can take care of the child. Follow this link to find a form for a non-parent relative to care for a minor child: https://www.dfps.state.tx.us/site_map/forms.asp
If the mother agrees, then she can execute that form so that you and your husband can show the doctors, child care providers, etc. that you have permission to care for the child and sign documents for the child.
