Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:09:43 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/in-pa--can-an-absent-parent-sign-over-parental-rig-169289.html I'll try to make this short. "Baby Boy" was removed from his mom by CYS at two weeks with No known father. Mom is in and out of rehab and has shown NO interest in "Baby Boy" for 6 months. CYS asked the grandmother to help find a permanent home. (Baby Boy is in a temporary group home.) Grandmom asked friends that were considering adoption to certify as foster parents to take Baby Boy. The young couple were fully certified to foster in 6 weeks and got to meet Baby Boy. After the meeting, the case worker "wasn't sure of the fit" and never called the couple back. After three more months with no answers,CYS was approached by family and Senator Peleggi for answers. CYS did a quick review and upheld the earlier decision. Can the mom sign her rights to the young couple without CYS's approval?
