Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico

I have a child in my care that his mother is not an upstanding person at all. She has left her 11 month old son at my house for the last Month and a half with very little contact with him. She has allowed me to have him in my home for much of his life but this is the longest he has stayed without her having a home to go to. She is currently pregnant with another child and should be due any day now. She is currently a drug user while pregnant with this child and previously a drug user during her last pregnancy. I am wondering if there is any possible way to get custody of the child that currently resides in my home. I and everyone that lives in my home are the only family he knows and I am afraid for is well being if she decides to take him.
