[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 650664, member: 13542"] This is very good news. I am happy for you and the baby. There is more work for you to do now that you've made this first important hurdle, in getting the permanent guardianship handled. Is there someone in the CPS office you know and can talk to? I had an advocate who was a social worker there who helped me a lot. If you were given a CPS recommendation for temporary guardianship, then someone in that office has a file on your daughter. Do you know where the baby is so you can get him? If it were me, I would contact CPS and find out who has your case and ask them what happens next. I recall having to go to court a couple of times. After I was awarded temporary guardianship, I did all the paperwork for permanent guardianship. Your daughter will be called in to court as well. Permanent guardianship papers are a little more complex, you have to serve your daughter and anyone else who has an interest in the child, the other grandparents, siblings, etc. That organization I told you about, Grandparents Parenting Again, helped me with the paperwork. I don't know what county you're in, but you might give them a call and find out if they can give you options in the country you live in. You're on your way now, Loverwhelmed. You did a good job. I know how hard it is to have to do all the paperwork while you're so concerned about the baby as well as your daughter. Just take it one step at a time. You'll get through it all. We're here for you. Celebrate this victory today. Take some deep breaths and remember to take care of yourself during this entire process. It can be exhausting, so nourish yourself. [/QUOTE]
