More details to this question:
At the age of 15 I gave birth to a baby and when I took her home a friend of the family took on the role of being her guardian because me and my parents weren’t financially able to do it at the time. Since the I’ve graduated high school and got myself on track and also have other kids and have full custody of all of them and have been trying to get in contact with her to get custody of my daughter but I’ve had no luck. Now my day is 10 years old and having behavioral problems and she reached out to my mother about me getting my daughter back for good. So we agreed on it then she backed out. I want to know can she keep me from my daughter and can I get custody of my daughter because we have never been to court and I have never given her up for adoption

During the time the child was away from you, did you contribute time and effort in taking care of the child, even if it was once a month or once a year? Does the child recognizes and acknowledge you as a mother? Can you demonstrate to the court that you have a parent-child relationship, through pictures, or any kind of records like you took her to the doctor, sent gifts, or etc? Even if you don't we can still reunite you with your daughter. It might get a little expensive but hey, it's your child. I will need more details about the case to better assess possible options.
