I’m so sorry you’re going through this. We’re also looking into foster-adoption, and are total rookies. So I really have no experience to share. But I was thinking, and of course I know nothing about the history behind your daughter's case, but it is possible that the bio-father wants his cousin to adopt because he wants the assurance that he can have contact with his daughter in the future? Or maybe just to know about her and that she’s alright? Are you open to open or semi-open adoption? And if so, is there a way to convey that to him through the “system”?

Again, I’m so sorry, and I hope for good news in your case. Sending hugs!
