My two oldest children where in the care of my grandmother because cps had made me place them with a family member after my husband and I had a domestic violence issue. When I gave birth to my third child cps investigated and told me as long as my and my child system was clean we could take him home. Everything came back fine and we took our baby boy named Jace home. Cps then showed up exactly 7 days later and told him we have to place him with a family member because I had failed a drug test for weed when I was one month pregnant even though I was unaware that I was pregnant. So we placed him with my mother in law because my grandmother could not handle another child. My mother in law promised she did not want to raise him she only wanted to insure he didn't end up in foster care. Well after they took him I we kind of went off the deep end and started using drugs and stopped working our services like idiots I felt overpowered by cps. Well now a year later my husband and I hace split up but we are still on good te rms and we our trying to clean up our lives and we have both been clean i even for the last month we've been trying to get his mother to let us see him she won't nor will she let him see my other two children or anyone else in my family. I am very involved in my other two children's lives and they always ask about there brother. Well she has my son calling her mom which I don't understand because my grandmother practically raised my daughter since she was a month old and I'm still mom and she's still grandma. Now I want to be in my youngest life but the state is trying to terminate my parental right and let my mother in law adopt him. What can we do? How can we raise our son? We are trying to turn our lives around. The only thing I have on my side is for my husband to testify in court about how physically and verbally abusive she was to him as a child. How can we get an attorney?
