[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750308, member: 18958"] My experience tells me you should be receiving money as a foster care/foster adopt parent. In my state I think that would be nine hundred dollars or more. It sounds like your niece has lost parental rights, or is on that road. The child under law should have its own attorney. Because it is in the "system." You have not adopted him, and he has been taken from his mother's care. The child's attorney should be advocating for the child. It should not be your sole responsibility. I adopted a child who was in the same circumstances as this baby. It cost me not one penny to do so. And I received a stipend every month, until he was legally an adult. Your niece is in no position to make demands on you. First and foremost, I would cut contact with her. Then you need to decide what you want to do with respect to the baby. Do you want to raise him? If not, I think you are right to deal with this sooner rather than later. A loving, adoptive family can be found. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
