I got word today that we may lose our little girl. She has been in the system for 3 years but has only been with us for 5 months. We love her tremendously! 24 hours before a review hearing the father who has not seen her in 3 years contacted the agency to say he has a cousin who wants to take her in. She has never even met this cousin. I don't know if he is married or has any kids. The cousin is a children youth worker so I guess he will be cleared to take her. I was told that once she is in or house for 6 months we have some rights and could get a lwayer to fight this.

I am truly devastated right now. I never expected this to happen. The mother was ready to sign off. She knows we are a good family who will take good care of her daughter. The father was never even in the picture but he got a letter from orphans court to terminate his rights and now he is cauing problems.

I am so scared...Any advice? We are in PA.
