Pardon my bluntness, but if you are serious, get your butt up to Oregon TODAY and have the mom sign this new baby over to you in some way. You may be buying a wad of legal trouble with her and/or social services down the road and you may have to actually take physical custody of the child, but at least it would at least temporarily block removal.

California has no jurisdiction in Oregon, but I do not know what legal tools may exist for CA to show OR good cause why the baby should be removed. Somebody then in CA would have to do an ICPC to actually physically move the child back. If that is not the done, the move would be illegal. Or they could simply get OR to do the removal and run it as an OR case.

Here's my question, though, and forgive me if it was asked and answered in the previous five pages, but your thoughts about removal of the new baby bring it to my mind: Are you serious about adopting and raising these children and cutting off the mother if needed to protect them? If you are not, then your home is not safe for them. I am a relative adopter, and I know that question is not as simple as it might seem to other people. It is no shadow on your character if you can't, but if you can't, I think you need to recognize that and do what's actually best for the children.

I hope all works out for the best for you, your family, and the children.
