You need to talk to a family law attorney in your county immediately. Don't try to do this without an attorney. Don't try a do it yourself kit. The mom needs to be notified of the legal proceeding but she won't get custody since she is in jail.

Look on this website & on www.avvo.com for an attorney.

Good luck! Thanks for agreeing to step in and helping these kids. God bless you!
