What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
my sister dropped baby off when she was 4 weeks old said I need some time to get myself together. I didn't hear from her for months in fact I had to chase her down to sign custody papers when baby was 8 months. Since then this kid has been raised as my own. She will be 5 years old next month and its time for adoption. My sister has no interest in the kid. She has her calling her auntie. This is my baby and I don't want my sister to wake up one day and take her after I have done all the mothering & parenting. My sister can not provide a stable home for my niece she is homeless now with 2 kids she kept, she has 2 others she left in another state with their paternal grandmother. Now,I am single with 3 kids of my own, I am a nurse (LPN) but have decided to return to school for my RN degree and will be in school for 4-6 years so my income is low. My state offers adoption assistance though. I want to know will my adoption process be hard. Yes baby was with an adoption agency the 1st few weeks of her life but once I got her she never again was in and out of homes. I was award custody in state of Illinois also.
