Most likely, no, not if you failed the home visit and you have had allegations against you. Your best bet is to retain an adoption attorney and have them fight for you.
Reply:I think you need to talk to a good lawyer on this one. This is way too complicated and important for me to answer on the Internet.


Start by talking to CPS and see if you can get custody of the girl. If they are not helpful than call an attorney.


Good luck!!
Reply:Chances are Child Protective Services has only physical or temporary legal custody at this point. I doubt she is even eligible for adoption so early after being removed.





Parental rights must be terminated (TPR through the family court), before a child is eligible for adoption, and usually, that is a very long and involved process. It can easily take years.





A prospective adoptive home will have to be fully investigated, and that includes a home study. Typically, if a home study is failed, they move on to other options.





Your home may have been studied for a physical, or temporary placement. Expect that they would be even more strict in how they view a potential adoptive home. If you failed the first, I think it is highly doubtful that they would consider you as a potential adoptive parent, but anything is possible.





A legal consult can tell you more.
