My partner and I were just notified that her cousins 2 year old was just taken away and stripped of rights, This is something we have been fighting CPS on for years as her cousin is a complete disaster and the rest of her kids have been taken along the years as well.
We aren't sure when she was taken, we don't even know if she was taken here in Texas or in Colorado where they found her mom.
How would you go about this? What is the best way to proceed? There are so many things that we have to think about in regards to this. The fact that we might have to deal with the grandmother (a bigger mess then the mom), what kind of shape she's in going through all she's had to go through now, etc.
We fought so hard for so long to try and give this little girl the opportunity of a good life. We JUST started getting into the foster parent process because we want to be foster parents, and then this comes along.
Thanks in advance,
Crystal

I'd call counties and cities. Call the state if you have to. Provide the name of the child and mother and see if anyone can help you find where she is. See if you can find out who her social worker is and go from there. Trying to find her and letting people know you're looking for her and trying to help can't look bad on your part, no matter how many people you have to call and "bug". I did that myself with an extended family member. I found the agency she was with and ended up filling out a form for them to keep in her file incase they need me. I sent multiple emails and made phone calls daily.
Trust me, showing interest from the beginning will look great on your part.
