I'm not a lawyer or even close, so please try to bear with me.
This is the legal definition fo a "Special Respondent" in Colorado:
"100) "SPECIAL RESPONDENT", AS USED IN ARTICLE 3 OF THIS TITLE, MEANS ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT A PARENT, GUARDIAN, OR LEGAL CUSTODIAN AND WHO IS INVOLUNTARILY JOINED AS A PARTY IN A DEPENDENCY OR NEGLECT PROCEEDING FOR THE LIMITED PURPOSES OF PROTECTIVE ORDERS OR INCLUSION IN A TREATMENT PLAN." I got this from HOUSE BILL 96-1019 [Digest] which was a revision of SECTION 1. 19-1-103, Colorado Revised Statutes, 1986. This law gives legal definitions that affect child welfare law.
Here are some case law summaries that may help answer your questions:

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I just saw this question about half an hour ago. Please try to ask a lawyer.

Dunno if Colorado is different from other states. Sorry you have to be in the situation. I hope someone is praying about the situation for you.
Type this into Google exactly the way it is here, in parentheses, and read this article, it's real good.
