Have you contacted a lawyer yet? I would say that you should. The battle against relative can be hard, but they can also be won. My family is proof. I'm not sure of all the circumstances surrounding your case, so I can't say that you would definitely win (and we all know that there is never a definite answer with foster care). But I did want to let you know that we were chosen to adopt our son over the great aunt. Good luck.
