OMG! How awful for this child! How is this child going to feel that she was the one "thrown away" because of unrealistic expectations for a 3 yr old! Gosh how can people be so cruel to their kids.
And be careful about guardianship or POA. That will leave their rights intact and say in the future they want this child back they can then fight for her. She deserves love, stability and a PERMANENT home that won't throw her away like that. And she also deserves to see her siblings too. How will that work?
I would think you would need an attorney. I don't know how it would all work and if you need an ICPC to move the child or not. We needed one to move our niece from another state but she was in custody of DCF. I would let the attorney figure that all out.
