It sounds like you still have parental rights but you or an attorney need to look at the court file to see the last part of the record.If it was only temporary custody you need to file papers to have custody to be with you.If you have money to pay an attorney -do it- or if not call legal aid because it is important that an attorney handle this type of case. If you want to talk to me e-mail me your phone number. best wishes.
