Relative child custody when parent rights are terminated
If my niece was removed from her mother home and the parent rights are terminated along with the father and the child is placed in foster care can I as the auntie get custody. I was sent out a notice only when she was removed from the home as close contact but nothing sense. The foster parent she is placed with is also the child’s god mother she has been around the mother since the child was born, however they live in Indiana and I’m in michingan they are about 1hr 20 min drive not far at all. The Protective service agents told me if the child is up for adoption at any point or have exhausted foster care time then I can then request the child be place with me as the auntie. However it has been about two years now the parent rights got terminated and the father as they did not show up for the court dates and the mother did not follow thru with rehab counseling etc. The child was taken along with her baby brother who was a new born at the time because drugs was found in the baby system so both kids were taken. The baby brother father parents has custody of him and was placed with them immediately because the daddy was a drug addict as well the daughter is not his child and her dad was never in her life so she ended with her god mother which happens to be a licensed foster care parent. The rights of the parents were terminated about 6 mths ago and I never got any other notifications in the mail for court dates hearings or anything and the CPS made it seem like a long process with me being in another state and too much paper work etc is the reason why they let the child go with the only closest relative which is not blood just a god mother and foster care parent. So I believe she schooled the mother on what to do and talked her into signing custody over to her so that way when time come for notifying family first etc they won’t have to since she gave her custody and I’m sure that’s why I have not been contacted. Long story short the mother ans foster parent ( child’s god mother ) has a history together and she does illegal things to allow my sister to see her daughter when she want and take her with her sometimes and school the child on lying and not telling the CpS workers when they follow up. If the mother so happened did this gave her custody of some sort where so I stand as the blood relative auntie with getting my niece ? I have been in her life since birth as well and still go visit her out of town at the foster lady home and my niece is only 6 yrs old and she wants to be with her auntie. There is a lot of illegal things going on there and I know this because my sister has told me when she mad at the lady who happens to sell drugs to on them low which I believe that’s how my sister got on drugs . What do I do. Will cps still give blood relatives options to get this child so she is with real family and auntie that she loves and feel safe with or not if the mother hurried up and signed custody to the lady. I want to be able to get my niece without exposing all the illegal things that go on in her home and the family members her grand kids that come over there fighting drinking alcohol and doing drugs but If I have to I will but I’m afraid they may place my niece somewhere else instead of letting her come to michingan because they don’t wanna go theu the paper work with cps in another state My niece is very sad everytime I see her. She is being exposed to to much at her age and the foster lady is older with health issues but money hungry and my niece is the oldest child there and she runs her back ans forth helping her take care different toddlers that get placed in the home here and there. I’m very sad and Inknow I can escalate this and go to courts etc and fight it but I don’t understand why I was not contacted back as promised by the workers when they said if the parents rights are terminated we will come to close family first and yet they have not !!
