I'm at a loss I have no clue on what to do.
So here is the run down. My wife's brother and sister in law had a baby at home. They are both on meth and have 4 other kids born with drugs in their system. The child protective agency in California. Removed their kids from their care . The father is a sweet talker and somehow convinced the judge and got the children back.
Imo they had the latest baby at home to avoid another call from the hospital to cps to have more against them due to the hospital mandated to report.
The child is 13 months old currently...my wife and I have had her in our custody or (care) for 10 months. I've googled and nothing comes up on what to do. Flash forward the parents don't want the child and told us we can keep her but have also moved from California to Ohio. It's not like they are going to come back and do anything to get her the proper things she needs to get her birth certificate. I'm at a total loss and super frustrated. I don't have the resources to hire a attorney. I have two of my own children(previous marriage) and my new wife doesn't work currently due to taking care of this child. We love this little girl . By the way her name is beatrice..such a sweet little angel. The harder thing for my wife is she can not have children we have already done doctors testing. So we feel this child was ment for us by the grace of God.
I hope someone will know something on what I need or can do? She won't be able to go to School ,get married or anything with no birth certificate. Going to school is the main concern right now..also her having benefits. My work will provide benefits but with no social security number or adoption / gaudianship they won't do anything.
Sorry if this is a long read. I tried to make it make scence the best I could.
