As grandparents you probably were not parties to the case in the Superior Court, in which case you likely would not be able to appeal the judgment. Both the child's guardian ad litem and the parents can appeal the judgment, and they are all eligible to have attorneys appointed for them at public expense if they can't afford private counsel.

You should immediately contact a legal aid clinic/office about this.
