Re: custody to a non-parent

There is always a chance. But you must work hard. Visit her every day. Certify yourself for adoption (ACS can explain this to you.)

If you can, get yourself listed as a relative. This may not be possible.

Your ex can help if he wants to. He can have you made her 'guardian'. Are you on good terms with his family? That can help very much.

Good luck.
