My question involves a child custody case from the State of: FL
My great niece (5 years old) is in foster care in FL. She had been in the care of my daughter since birth and considers me her grandmother. My daughter is currently in prison and my niece has had her parental rights terminated, so my greatniece is adoptable.
The first foster family she was placed with were friends of ours, so I had unlimited visitation with my great niece. Last September, she was moved to another home and I haven't seen her since. Calls to her social worker go nowhere. The worker is never available and never returns my calls.
Do I have any legal rights to visitation? Do I need to hire a lawyer to force DCF to let me have visitation? It has been almost 6 months since we've had any word of where she is, and we're very worried.
