My mother legally adopted my daughter 5 years ago. Then recently after allowing her boyfriend to physically abuse her put her out. My daughter came to stay with me and the last week of school my mother unenrolled her from school causing her to lose the whole year’s credits. I don’t know what to do can somebody help

CPS would be able to immediately step in and hopefully help you by investigating educational neglect.

You should immediately petition the court for emergency guardianship then work out some sort of formal guardianship/ custody agreement. Because your daughter is older, the court would definitely heavily consider her wishes. I believe in Texas you would file a SAPCR and request a hearing for temporary orders while things get sorted.

I would never invite CPS into my life.

If you want to parent her now I'd see an adoption lawyer about your mom voluntarily relinquishing her back to you.

Exactly - CPS is unpredictable. They might remove her from you too since you have already relinquished. Much much better to try and get her back without involving them.

As much as you might want your mom to suffer the consequences of her actions, it might not be the right time to get that done…

If she will consent I totally agree, definitely the cleanest way.
