I feel for ya Mike, hang in there and do the best you can. Sorry I have no advice for you. Are you sure you want this in the political forum?
Keep calling social services until you get the answers you are looking for. I bet they are swamped with cases but that is no excuse for not getting back to you. I have no clue how that process works. It's a good thing what you are doing for him. Maybe consult a lawyer if you know one.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Just focus on the kid. Isolate the other crap and especially the emotion from him, your family, and yourself. Keep it in the day and make today the best you can for your family. Rome wasn't built in a day. And your mission is the kid, not to fix her.

Let me just say the fact that you are taking in a sister in laws kid is amazing!
I don't have any advice either that would differ from everything Slip said. Just keep trying to get someone, anyone that can help maybe even send a certified letter just to have some sort of proof that you tried contacting them in some way? Lawyer may not be a bad idea...

You're a lucky guy redlite. Just keep it in the "just today" thought process.
It's all about the kid.

Well said. My understanding is that these programs move at a glacial pace, they just don't have the resources or fire under them to move faster.
Some friends just adopted a girl about the same age who came from a very similar situation. She can hardly believe the love she's getting now... |

I also agree, focus on the kid!
You will probably benefit as much from him being with you as he will from being removed from his "mother".
Unfortunately the state only moves as fast as the money!
If it were a high-profile case, celebrity-related or already in the national media it would be resolved so fast your head would spin!
But....since you are just a regular tax paying legal citizen, you get the snail treatment.
God bless you and god bless the child, as a child should not have to endure what we see them exposed to with such regularity and with little regards to their well-being.
Hopefully your sister will straighten her act out and clean herself up, but if not, hopefully she will have the common decency to remove herself from her child's life (and yours).
