my mother currently fosters my god sisters three children and we are about to go through the courts for adoption. she lost her children due to negligence,abandonment and drug use and she still hasnt shown any improvement. she is twenty five years old and she just had another baby yesterday. she knows she is unfit but wants to keep the baby for money. She says that if she is not able to keep the baby custody will be handed over to the supposed baby's father whose she is residing with now. he is an illegal alien. if she is unfit to raise her other children will she still be able to keep this child and if not will they give custody to the father who she is residing with. please help me ive seen the abuse that her other children suffered and i dint want this baby to suffer. my mom wants to take the baby in with his other siblings is this possible.

If she had her other children taken away C.P.S. should have been notified by the hospital that she has another. The father will not be allowed custody if he resides with her. You need to contact C.P.S. as soon as possible!! Let the hospital staff know about the current situation with the other children and they will be able to contact a social worker. Good Luck, I think it's great that you and your mother are looking out for the children's welfare!!

Agree with above poster, contact CPS and find out who the caseworker has been in in the prior case and they will be your greatest ally in getting the matter resolved, although it would also be a good idea, if your Mom can afford it, to hire her own attorney to pursue the matter; if not, try Legal Aid...the caseworker may be able to assist you in connecting with them.
