My husband and I are trying to find out different ways to do this, but everything I see points to a long, expensive process... IE: Lawyers, notaries, etc... And.. we can't afford to pay all that! But, we want our daughter be safe and happy with the people we chose. Can anyone help us???

Just write a Will. Name the person you want to be the guardian. You can have a lawyer draft one for you or you can write one yourself and get in notarized at a notary public.
You can grant a power of attorney for the same purpose if you desire.

write out your wishes, sign it in front of a Notary, with witnesses. Give it to someone you trust.
Mailboxes etc charges $10.00 for the service.

WRITE YOUR OWN LAST WILL AND TESTIMENT AND LEAVE THE LOVED ONE WITH WHOM YOU CHOSE AS DIRECTED IN THE WILL--AN ATTORNEY DOES NOT HAVE TO DO A WILL-GO ONLINE AND COPY THE FORM FOR A WILL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE, MANY CIVIL LIBERTIES, POVERTY LAWYERS ETC WILL DO ONE FOR FREE, MANY LAWYERS DO WHAT THEY CALL PRO BONO REPRESENT A CLIENT FOR FREE--A WILL IS SUCH TYPE OF REPESENTATION AS A CIVIL MATTER. YOU CAN FILE YOUR OWN FOR AS PRO SE--REPRESENTING SELF AND IF YOU FILE A FORMA PAUPEROUS(INDIGENT-NO MONEY TO BUY SERVICES OR COURT COSTS-THE COURT JUDGE WILL EVALUATE THIS AND OK IT THEN SIGN YOUR REQUEST AND YOU HAVE YOUR WILL AND TESTIMENT
