We have only just found out my cousin had a daughter who has been in foster care for two years (with a prospective adoptive family for two months). We have never been contacted by social services to ask if we would care for her but when I spoke to her social worker two weeks ago she took lots of details and is doing background checks. As far as I know the social services don't yet have legal authority to adopt the child yet but there's a court date this month.
Are we too late to offer her a family? What should we do? This is so difficult to think that our blood relative will be outwits the family forever ?
