Your mother can only assign her power of attorney over the child to your grandparents. If the child is living with the grandparents but the grandparents do not know where the parents live, the grandparents may create a caregiver power of attorney. Please consult with a family law attorney about this issue and refer them to ORC 3109.52 et. seq. l9
