Is her mother and/or father living?
Both are living. Her father is my brother and he does come to see her occasionally (maybe once every couple of months). The birth mother is his ex girlfriend and we haven't seen her in months. Neither showed up for the custody hearing.
My niece is 2 and has been in our home since she was a year old. We were just granted custody in December.
