i have a long story but the short version is, there me and the childs grandmother have been raising this baby since she was born, premature and addicted to drugs. the mother went to see the baby 3 times in the hosptial, and that was only because the grandmother bribed her with money. the baby was inthe nicu for 3 months, from april to july. the mother went to jail the end of may for prostituion and drugs. she was sent to prison and just got out on the 7th. the first night out she got drunk her father kicked her out, then she went to live with this lady who does foster care. we want to protect the child from her mother who has told the father of her other 2 kids that she is going to go back to prostution. her other two kids we had to go get before she got pregnant with this child, because they were left alone, 2 and 4 in a house full of needles. they are with their father. we dont know who the father is with this baby. the mother didnt even go to the hospltal to have the baby she had her in a hotel room and the trick she was with brought her to the hospital where she had paraphinilla on her. anyways she is going to try and get this baby,and use the person she is with to foster her. my question is, can a person who has foster kids in her house, have a convicted felon in her house living their? we are trying to figure out what to do and how to protect this child from a mother who only wants her for the money she gets from the state for her. and if she cant have her she wants this person to foster her.

Anyone who is living in the home is required to be fingerprinted and background screened. If you have concerns about a foster parent, you should contact your local agency, speak with licensing and let them know your concerns.
Also, if the baby has been sheltered from the mother, chances the judge is going to approve her living in the home with the foster parent are slim, especially if she isn't in compliance with her case plan (I'm assuming she has an open case?). It sounds like you have the baby, which means the baby isn't in foster care. There would have to be a good reason for the baby to be moved from relative/non relative care to foster care. Agencies don't want to pay for foster care if they have a safe alternative.
Hope this helps :)
