The judge determines who will be granted custody of a child regardless of the circumstances based upon what is the best interest of the child and not on the preference of any involved party. Unless the mother has been proven to have been seriously neglectful and/or abusive and has made no attempt to rectify her behavior it is highly unlikely a judge would terminate her parental rights and place the child in a foster home or in the care of another relative. The court must also consider the rights of the biological father if he has been identified and his whereabouts are known. A major factor could be how the current caregiver received custody of the infant, whether through the prescribed legal process or by the mother simply allowing the person to take over the care of the child.

Keep a daily journal of all your activities, but most especially your contact with the child. Interview several attorney before hiring one.
