Question about adopting a child in CPS custody

Because you have a relationship with the childs family, it would be considered a kinship placement. IT certainly CAN happen, esp if the uncle the child is placed with is not interested in adoption. HOWEVER, because her child is in CPS custody- she now has little to no say about where the child goes, and it is up the caseworkers & judge in the childs case. Obtaining a lawyer was a very smart choice. Best of luck to you.
