I don't know if I am in the right place
Hi everyone, this is exactly m/c related but is a loss to me. I miscarried 2 months ago and am trying to move on. My oldest sister is mentally ill with a 6 month old and is 4 months pregnant. I was told by many family members that its possible I might have to take custody of the baby and maybe that was why God took mine. Well, my sister is having a full blown psychosis and CPS took the child. I live in another state but prepared myself for this and to drive to help. My younger sister stepped in and realized she would get fmla and financial support if she fosters so she stepped right over me and took the baby. She never showed any interest before and doesn't show concern or care for my sick sister. I feel betrayed because I was told for awhile, even by that sister that I'd be the best candidate to foster. My husband and I have had problems conceiving but we are a stable family, whereas, my youngest sister keeps a dirty house, husband does heroin occasionally and they don't parent their own child. I feel like I'm jealous in a way but I've been waiting for a family for a long time and it hurts that my sister stepped all over it without considering my feelings. Our sick sister cannot talk and she is in an institution.i

Second, I agree that, if you want to step in and take the child(ren), you should get a lawyer a
