Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Guardianship of our grandchild

My daughter is a crack addict in rehab for the third time in two years. My husband and I are caring for our granddaughter and we have a ''Temporary Guardianship'' form signed and notorized. There is no father in the picture. I know that only a judge can grant permanent guardianship. Does my daughter have to agree? Can we do it while she is in rehab? Is that our best option? What does it entail?
