Re: child abandament
Your best option at this point is to file a private custody action to try to get more long-term custody of the child as opposed to foster care placement.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
