Unhappy advice please

Our Story
In Nov. of 06 we took in a little girl who was almost 3 months old. She had alread been in care with an aunt since Sept. of 06. She had some neglect and poss. abuse. For almost a year and a half I treated her like my own (like most foster parents do) she went everywhere with us and our own daughter. Up until April of 08 her mom was doing some work to reunify. From the time she came into our home until Feb. of 08 her birth mom would have visits starting with supervision and at the end having unsupervised. In Feb. the state decided to send her home to her birth mom for a trial period. This trial period didn't go well and the little girl was placed back into my home. In April when the little one came back into my home, the state told me that I would prob. be able to adopt her, which is what I have always wanted. The birth father isn't capable of taking care of her and is still having only one supervised visit a week for 2 hours. All other family members are not in the picture except the birth father's mom. She has seen this little girl prob. 10 times since she has been in care (it will be 2years in Sept.)
All of a sudden out of the blue, she decides that she wants to raise this little girl. Let me tell you that this women's life isn't all too stable either. I just can't believe that this women wants to all of a sudden take this little girl out of the only stable life she knows. The little girl has always called me momma and my husband dada. Am I just being selfish when I say that the little girl is way better off staying with the only real family she knows?
Also, i wanted to know if anyone has ever filed a motion to be an intermeter? I am not sure if I even spelled it right. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks so much.
