Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Giving up custody to grandparents

My daughter has full custody of her 4 year old son. She is a recovering addict. She has been having her father and I take care of the boy. She would like to relinquish full custody to us. The biological father is in agreement. How do we go about doing this? Do we need to hire an attorney or are there forms we can submit to the courts ourselves?
