I have some children signed over to us and the parent up and left without no one knowing where she was. Can I adopt them if cps let's me? Cps has put the kids in custody since the parent said she wasn't comfortable with them being here. The parents have had several children and rights terminated on all. They also have sexual abuse charges pending. Do the parents have much of a say about the kids coming back to me?
