Judge rejected me as fictive kin
My ex-sister in law recently had her newborn (born 08/03/12) child taken by CPS. I spoke with CPS about being kinship care and they approved me as fictive kin. I am no longer married to her brother, but am still part of the family. My husband and I did the home inspection and fingerprinting and passed both. I went to the CPS hearing and the judge said I could not be considered fictive kin because the baby was not old enough to have formed a bond yet. After some confusion in the court, the baby was released to me that same day (08/08/12). I went and picked her up directly from the hospital and she spent the night with me. On Thursday, CPS called and said that she got clarification from the judge and I had to take the baby to Child Haven. The judge has decided I need to get a traditional foster care license before I can get the baby back. This takes 5-6 months in Nevada. I went to orientation on Saturday and they will try to expedite me as I am only interested in fostering this one child, however, they need permission from the court. The birth mother recently lost her 4 oldest children to TPR and court is only giving her 6 months to get it together. My question is, if it takes 5-6 months to get licensed and the mom doesn' get it together, wouldn't the foster parents who keep her while I'm trying to get my license in order have the first option to adopt her? My family is ready and willing to be a permanent home for this little girl. I'm going to plead with the judge at the next hearing to get her back while I get licensed, but I do not know how far it will go. Any advice will help. Thank you.
