alright heres the situation,
i am a 21 year old female, my best friend is an 18 yer old female. her first child (my godson) was born when she was 17 and was taken by childrens aid when he was 3 days old. He is now almost 8 months old and still in the care of chilrend aid. My best friend is pregnant again. Childrens aid is pushing for my god son to go crown ward. the reason my god son was taken was because his mother addicted to drugs (crack), when she had my godson she cleaned up her act and went to rehab and did everything childrens aid was asking her to do. I believe she is now back into the drugs and it seems like now that she is pregnant again she doesnt care if she gets my god son back because the new baby will replace him. I am now trying to get custody of my god son, Legally he is not my godson yet because we have not gotten to baptise him as he has been in care from the begining. ni have contacted childrens aid and left a voicemail for the worker handling the case, and i have emailed an adoption practitioner. I have Started getting everything i would need for him. I am doing this the best interest of my godson NOT so his mother can still have access to him, if she wants to see him there WILL be conditions, she would have to do a drug test, she can not be high when she visits him and she will not get him by herself. i need all the help i can get in terms of what i need to do etc.
Hello. I am not sure this is what you want to hear but in the state that I live in a godparent would not be able to adopt a child from fostercare if the foster parents want to adopt that child. The home that the child has been living in will recieve prefference well above removing the child to a new home. It has to be about the child. If you were a blood relative it would be different. I hope you hear back soon.
Blessings,
