I was recently told my daughter (under CPS care) is pregnant. She is 16 years old. I am in dire need of a support group or somethinng. As I am so devestated. Is there a support group or discission group that any one can recommend me to?
I really am in need of some one to talk to that has been in my situation. TIA, Yvette

Does the child welfare agency have court-ordered "legal custody" and guardianship, or do you still retain legal custody? If you are not sure, then call the juvenile courthouse and ask them.

Re: Pregnancies issues?
You can and should start a guardianship process before the baby is born. You can have the papers ready to go. Otherwise, CPS will swoop in and you'll be in their grasp for years.
If she can have the baby out of the county or even the state, it will make a huge difference in keeping CPS out of the picture.
In my case, we're trying to get a guardianship finished before the court officially takes jurisdiction. It would have been easy if the ball was already rolling.
