You cannot award custody of your child if he is in state custody, only the state can do that. However, your mother can file a motion in the court with jurisdiction requesting guardianship of the child. A hearing will be held and an investigation conducted by the state's social security division in charge of child welfare to determine whether or not such a placement would be in the child's best interests. Depending on the law where you reside and the circumstances surrounding your child being remanded to the care of the state, your permission may or may not be required for guardianship to be awarded and again, depending on state law may (or may not depending) need to be secured before such an action is initiated, filed with the motion or presented in court during the hearing.
