It is my understanding that if you have had the child for over 12 months you can fight for custody of the child and with the circumstances that you have loved this child through surely a judge would be in your favor...at least I pray that he would. I agree that siblings should be placed together if at all possible but child services should not have waited this long to do something about it. We had a similar situation and brought an attorney and many letters to the judge about our child and our bond, and it helped us out.
